Program Goals
Land use and development in the City is regulated by the Zoning Code and Subdivision Regulations.
The City encourages investment and development in its housing, commercial, and manufacturing districts. We strive towards creating an environment where developers at all scales can work efficiently and quickly, while also meeting the City’s zoning, environmental, and building code regulations.
All development are subject to regulations outlined in the follow documentation:
Zoning Regulations for all Districts
Subdivision Regulations
MWRD Permit Determination (Watershed Management Ordinance)
Building Codes
2018 ADA Standards for Accessible Design
This is not an exhaustive list. There can be many other considerations when planning a new development. The requirements and regulations will depend on the complexity, scope, and scale of the development. We aim to maintain strong communication with developers to help them navigate the various requirements and reach positive outcomes for developers, residents, local businesses, and the City at large.
For new development and redevelopment queries, please contact Community Development at 847-506-6030 or email us at CD@CityRM.org.
Public Hearings
A review and approval process is necessary to address the various development proposals or variance requests. Public hearings afford members of the community an opportunity to have input into the decision making process. The Planning and Zoning Commission is the body that conducts public hearings and renders a recommendation or decision on requests.
