Planning and Zoning Board

The Planning & Zoning Board (PZB) conducts public hearings on petitions from the public for variations, conditional uses and development proposals requiring relief under the City of Des Plaines Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. Find more information on Planning and Zoning in Des Plaines.

The Planning & Zoning Board has the final approval for Standard Variations. For all other requests, the Board makes a recommendation to the City Council which makes a final determination as passed in a city ordinance. Occasionally, the PZB hears appeals from petitioners that have applied for permits but the permits were denied by the Zoning Administrator. In these issues, the PZB’s determination is final.
