A Planned Development (PD) is a special process for approval of larger developments within the Village. An applicant for a PD typically is seeking relief from some aspect of the Zoning Ordinance such as height or set back requirements. The applicant must demonstrate that the Village will receive compensating benefits in return for zoning relief. Conditions are negotiated between the landowner and the Village Board on a case-by-case basis. The Village Board can assign itself, the Plan Commission or the Zoning Board of Appeals to hear the PD application.
Copies of Planned Development applications and all related documents are available for public inspection during regular business hours of 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, in the Planning Division at Village Hall, 123 Madison St. Applications are reviewed in public hearings to determine whether proposed projects comply with the Planned Development and Special Use standards. Residents are invited to attend and comment. Persons with disabilities planning to attend and needing special accommodations should contact the Village Clerk’s Office at 708.358.5670 or via email the Village Clerk  .
Written comments also may be submitted through regular mail to the attention of the Village Planner, 123 Madison St., Oak Park, IL 60302, or via email . The hearing process generally follows a specific order, but may be modified as determined appropriate by the chairperson of the hearing body. For detailed information on the Plan Commission ’s procedures, please read the Rules of Procedure.
Those property owners within 500 feet of the proposed project and those persons with a special interest beyond that of the general public wishing to cross-examine witnesses must complete and file either an Interested Party Appearance Form or Attorney Appearance Form bearing an original signature with the Village Clerk no later than 5 p.m. on the business day preceding the public hearing.
