Development Review Process
The Village has created this step-by-step process to help ensure that all development reviews
are being performed fairly and consistently. While there are many variations on each of the
following steps, all applications/petitions shall be submitted to the Village, on forms provided by
the Planning Department.
1. Pre-Application Meeting
A pre-application meeting, while not required, is strongly suggested. It should be
scheduled with the Village’s planning staff as soon as possible in order to explain and
answer any questions the applicant may have on the Village’s review process.
During the meeting, staff will outline the application process and steps. Reviewing the
Subdivision Regulations, Zoning Ordinance, Comprehensive Plan and Official Map, and
other applicable documents will assist with the process. All of these documents are
available on the Village’s website: www.plainfieldil.gov or for review.
2. Applicant Submittal
Applicant submits all required forms, plats, plans, and letters to the Planning Department
per applicable application and attached checklist. Submittals must comply with Village
Ordinances as well. The Planning Department assigns a case number and opens a case
file which will include copies of all submittals, copies of all reports and/or letters, planner
and engineer comments and recommendations. All required items must be submitted
together. Failure to do so will constitute an incomplete submittal and may result in a delay
or disposal of items submitted.
3. Public Hearings
Annexation, rezoning, special use, and variance cases require notification of the public
through a public notification process.
The public notification process includes three (3) forms of public notification, as follows:

o The applicant shall submit certified letter return receipts or a receipt from the Post
Office to staff no later than 5 business days before the scheduled public hearing.
• Posting of “Public Hearing” sign on the property. (Completed by the Village.)
4. Preliminary Staff Review
The planning staff determines whether the application is in proper form and shall not
receive or consider the application as filed until all documents are submitted in accordance
with the requirements as listed on the application form checklist as well as any other
applicable ordinances such as the Subdivision Ordinance, Zoning Ordinance, etc. Staff will
notify the primary contact, as indicated on the application, of the petition status.
Once a complete application has been received by all appropriate staff members and
applicable outside review agencies (i.e. Village Engineer, Fire Department, Police
Department, etc.), the designated planner schedules an appearance before the Plan
Commission, typically within 30 days of a complete submittal. The Plan Commission
meets the first and third Tuesdays of each month. The primary contact will receive a copy
of the staff report, as prepared for the Plan Commission, several days prior to the
scheduled meeting.
5. Plan Commission and/or Zoning Board of Appeals
The Plan Commission meets the first and third Tuesdays of each month. The Plan
Commission will review the application, all submittals, and the staff report and recommend
one of the following: approval; denial; approval with stipulations; or continuance. Staff will
submit a written report and recommendation of the Plan Commission to the Board of
Trustees. All recommendations of the Commission on any application shall be advisory in
nature and shall be subject to final consideration, evaluation, and determination by the
Village Board. The Village Board of Trustees meets the first and third Monday of each
month. The primary contact will receive a copy of the staff report, as prepared for the
Village Board, several days prior to the scheduled meeting.
6. Village Board
The Village Board of Trustees meets the first and third Monday of each month. The Village
Board of Trustees will review the application, all submittals, staff report and Plan
Commission report with recommendation and will approve, deny, approve with stipulations,
table, or continue a petition. All decisions and findings of the Village Board shall be the
final administrative decision and shall be subject to judicial review as may be provided by
law.

Written comments from the following roadway agencies may be necessary if the traffic to
be generated will be accessing roadways under their jurisdictions. One or both of these
agencies may require access permits. Check to see if your site is located in Will or Kendall
