MEMO
To: Plan Commission
From: Colleen – Deputy Clerk
Re: Proposed Plan Commission Application Process
Date: 5/22/2026
Village staff have developed a new consolidated Plan Commission application process intended to
simplify application intake, improve consistency, and reduce applicant confusion.
Previously, separate applications existed for various request types, including Conditional Use Permits,
Design Review, Rezoning requests, Certified Survey Maps, and other Plan Commission-related
matters.
Under the updated process, applicants will submit one universal application providing general project
and property information. Following submission, Village staff will review the request, determine the
applicable review process, and provide the applicant with a completed “Required Applicant
Submittals” checklist identifying the specific supplemental materials required for that particular
request.
Once all required materials have been submitted, the application will undergo staff review and may
then be scheduled for Plan Commission consideration if determined complete.
The updated process also incorporates key components of the existing staff report directly into the
application review packet. Application type determination, staff comments, identified impacts, and
recommendation sections are now included within the staff review portion of the application
materials, eliminating the need for a separate standalone staff report.
This updated process is intended to:
• streamline the application process,
• improve consistency between application types,
• reduce incomplete submissions,
• provide applicants with clearer direction regarding required materials and review procedures.
Recommended Action:
Approve the proposed Land Use Review Application process as presented, or provide
recommendations or revisions prior to implementation.
