The application lets a development applicant request zoning approval for matters such as a special use, variance, rezoning, text amendment, planned unit development, appeal, or subdivision. The Village requires a completed application, applicable fee, and the listed supporting materials before it will accept or process the request. The packet also includes sworn applicant statements and an owner authorization section, along with written exhibits that depend on the approval sought.
Who needs it
Applicants seeking zoning approval that requires Planning and Zoning Commission consideration must complete the application and provide the required exhibits, fees, and supporting materials.
Why it needs a notary
The applicant’s sworn declaration and the property owner’s authorization each have a subscribed-and-sworn-to-before-me block; the person making each statement signs before the notary.
