Schaumburg is an inland suburb located approximately 30 miles northwest of downtown Chicago with no coastline. Coastal development regulations do not apply. The Village does not have coastal zone management requirements, shoreline setbacks, or coastal commission oversight. Properties near Salt Creek or detention ponds may have riparian buffer or floodplain restrictions but these are governed by floodplain and stormwater regulations, not coastal development rules.
Schaumburg is an inland community in DuPage and Cook Counties with no proximity to Lake Michigan's coastline or any coastal zone. The Illinois Coastal Management Program applies only to communities along the Lake Michigan shoreline in Cook and Lake Counties. Schaumburg's closest major waterway is Salt Creek, a tributary of the Des Plaines River. Properties adjacent to Salt Creek are subject to floodplain regulations and riparian buffer requirements, but these are governed by FEMA floodplain management rules and the Cook County Watershed Management Ordinance, not coastal development standards. The Village has several stormwater detention and retention basins throughout the community that may have maintenance easements and buffer zones, but these are stormwater management features, not coastal resources. Residents with questions about waterway setbacks should consult the Village's floodplain regulations and the Cook County WMO rather than coastal development programs.
No coastal development violations apply in Schaumburg. Properties near Salt Creek or stormwater facilities may be subject to floodplain or drainage easement violations, which are addressed under separate sections of the Village code.
