Planning and Zoning
Planning and zoning functions are directly related and pertain to the
review and analysis of potential development. Whether you need a
variance, a rezoning, or are considering annexing or developing property
within the Village of Carpentersville, the Planning and Zoning personnel
will guide you through the process.
Planning and Zoning personnel of the Village of Carpentersville focus
on current and future land uses, their locations within the Village,
and the administration of the Village Zoning Ordinance and the
applicable zoning district regulations.
Planning and Zoning personnel also review applications such as Planned
Unit Developments, Special Use Permits, Preliminary and Final Plats of Subdivisions, Variances, Zoning Map Amendments/Rezoning requests,
Concept Plans, Code Appeals, and Annexations relating to new
developments and businesses.
These personnel focus on site plan review for compliance with Village
Ordinances and Development Standards and providing the Village Staff
recommendations to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Village Board
on these applications.
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan was adopted in January 2007 and sets
forth long-range recommendations for the future growth and development
within the community and for the maintenance of and enhancement to the
existing image and character of the Village. The plan was amended
in June 2009 to include the Longmeadow Parkway Corridor Study.
Planning and Zoning staff also review patios, decks, garages, swimming
pools and other similar such permits to ensure compliance with the
Zoning Ordinance and the applicable zoning district regulations, such as
setbacks and lot coverage.
