Site Plan Review

A Site Plan Review is required for every commercial, industrial, institutional, and multi-family (three or more units) project in the Village prior to issuance of a building permit or development activity. The Site Plan Review process helps ensure newly developed properties, expanded structures or redeveloped properties take into account public safety, traffic, overcrowding, and environmental problems are minimized.
