Country Club Hills — Ch. 19 Fair Housing § 19.8.03
City Council Approval
Operative Text
Within thirty (30) days of the filing of, an Affirmative Marketing Plan, the City Council shall approve the plan, in writing, if it complies with the provisions of this Article and such other regulations as are adopted by the City, or state, in writing, its reason for failing to approve the plan if it does not comply. No advertising, sale or rental of dwellings in developments subject to this Article may be commenced, and no final municipal approval or building permit shall be issued for such developments, until the City Council grants such written approval.
Under Country Club Hills Ch. 19 Fair Housing § 19.8.03, the City Council has thirty days after an Affirmative Marketing Plan is filed to either approve it in writing or issue a written explanation of why it does not comply with applicable regulations. Until that written approval is granted, no advertising, sales, or rentals of dwellings in covered developments may begin, and no final municipal approvals or building permits may be issued. This provision creates a mandatory review gate that ties development activity to fair housing compliance.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers subject to Ch. 19 Fair Housing § 19.8.03 generally ensure that a complete Affirmative Marketing Plan is filed well in advance of any planned advertising, sales, or rental activity, since none of those activities may lawfully commence without written City Council approval. Compliant operators also refrain from seeking final municipal approvals or building permits until that written approval is in hand. If the City Council issues a written denial or statement of deficiencies within the thirty-day window, operators typically address the identified compliance gaps before resubmitting.

Section 19.8.03 of Country Club Hills Ch. 19 Fair Housing establishes that dwellings in covered developments cannot be advertised, sold, or rented until the City Council has granted written approval of an Affirmative Marketing Plan, which is designed to promote fair housing access. Tenants or prospective residents who believe a development began marketing or leasing without that approval may have grounds to raise the issue with the City of Country Club Hills or a local fair housing organization. Consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with local fair housing ordinances can help individuals understand what options may be available to them.
