Why Does Plainfield Need a Unified Development Ordinance?

The last major update of Plainfield’s Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances was in the mid-2000s. Although the code has been updated and expanded over the years, the regulations no longer fully reflect current development trends or support the Village’s growth goals. A modern UDO, built on the foundation of the existing ordinances, will help implement the recently adopted Comprehensive Plan while streamlining regulations, remove barriers to new proposals, and provide a clear framework for guiding Plainfield’s future development.

Who Will Prepare This New Ordinance?

The Village has hired a team of consultants to draft the ordinance. Teska Associates, Sightline Planning and Zoning, and Ancel Glink have teamed to provide a comprehensive solution for the Village of Plainfield. The team will be working closely with the Village’s Planning staff and Plan Commission throughout the update process.
