Pleasant Prairie Community Development Department
The
Village of Pleasant Prairie Community Development Department efforts
focus on coordinating development through sound land use planning and
implementation of development controls and zoning. The department is
responsible for encouraging and regulating the use of the land, waters,
and structures in a planned and orderly manner so as to promote the
public health, safety, convenience, and general welfare of the citizens
of the community. This is done by respecting the balance between
property owners' rights, economic development, and environmental
protection.
The department promotes the preservation of environmentally sensitive areas such as the Chiwaukee Prairie Nature Preserve
located in the eastern portion of the Village and the Des Plaines River
Watershed located in the western portion of the Village.
The department provides services such as: developing and updating the Village's comprehensive plans,
including the land use plan, park and open space plan, transportation
plan, and neighborhood plans; reviewing site plans, operational plans,
development plans, and planned developments for commercial, industrial,
and institutional projects; reviewing all land divisions, subdivisions,
and multi-family developments; providing technical planning and zoning
information to the public; and conducting zoning inspections. The
Community Development Department works closely with the Building
Inspection, Public Works/Engineering, Administrative, Fire & Rescue,
and Police Departments by coordinating all of the development
applications and project reviews for all new and expanding residential,
commercial, industrial, institutional, and recreational developments in
the Village.
