Development Review Process

The outline below presents a broad depiction of the development review process in the Village of Homer Glen. Applicants should be aware that applications are distinct and may consist of numerous reviews. Therefore, they might not fit into the specifics of this outline.

Pre-Application Process

  • Contact staff to set up an informal pre-application meeting with the Zoning Officer.
  • Contact staff to set up a formal application conference (Required for all PUD - Planned Development Applications). 
  • Submit a formal application and the appropriate fees.
  • Staff and/or consultants reviews the submitted plans.
  • Once the application is complete and plans comply with requirements and the Village Code, the applicant will be scheduled for Plan Commission review.

Plan Commission Process

  • Once a Plan Commission date is scheduled, Village Staff will publish a legal notice and mail first-class letters of notice no less than 15 days prior to the public hearing.
  • If the subject property is zoned in any residential district, Village Staff will post a public hearing sign on the property. If the subject property is zoned in any commercial or industrial website, the applicant will be required to post a 4 foot by 6 foot public hearing sign on the property. All signs must be posted 15 calendar days prior to the public hearing.
  • The Plan Commission conducts the public hearing which allows for testimony by the applicant and any other interested parties.
  • The Plan Commission makes a recommendation to the Village Board.

Village Board Process

  • Consideration of approval by the Village Board is scheduled for the next available date after the Plan Commission recommendation.

If Approved

If Denied

  • An application for a text or map amendment, which has been denied by the Village Board, cannot be resubmitted for a period of one (1) year from the date of the order of denial, except on the grounds of new evidence or proof of change of condition found to be valid by the Plan Commission and Village Board.
