F) WORKSHOP
1) SITE PLAN REVIEW ORDINANCE
Staff is looking for input from the Village Board on a new and streamlined Site Plan Review
Ordinance for Commercial, Office, Industrial, Multi-Family, Civic, and Townhome development in
the Village of Plainfield. A set of new commercial landscape standards has been incorporated into this
document along with pictures and illustrations that reflect the quality of development that the Village
Board has approved over the past years.
2) SIGN ORDINANCE
Staff is looking for input from the Village Board on a revised Sign Ordinance that attempts to simplify
and streamline the current ordinance and regulations. A more simple ordinance has been prepared to
provide a more user friendly document, while removing regulations that have proven to be redundant
or contrary to the current trend of development. Staff has attempted to balance for the need of more
commercial signage with maintaining the quality of commercial development in the Village.
3) BUSINESS PLAN
Staff is looking for input from the Village Board on a revised “Business Plan” for the Village of
Plainfield. As part of the Village’s commitment to maintaining an excellent business environment,
staff has created a new “Economic Incentive Policy” and a new framework for “Impact Fees” in the
Village. Both of these new initiatives are intended to enhance the Village’s economic development
efforts with commercial and industrial users.
G) EXECUTIVE SESSION
Seeking a motion to adjourn to Executive Session as permitted under the Open Meetings Act under Section 2
(c) (6) to discuss the setting of a price for sale or lease of property owned by the public body, not to reconvene
