Who Does What?
What is the difference between the Building Department and the Planning & Zoning Department? The Building Department is more technical in its application review. Looks at the details of the application and the plans. The Planning & Zoning Department is more about the aesthetics, concepts, design, and placement in the application review. Looks at how it complies with the requirements of the Village Code of Ordinances and NOT whether it complies with the requirements of the Building Code.

The public and elected officials through the comprehensive plan and zoning code describe the city they want to see. It is the role of the planner to guide development to help create the city the public and elected officials envisioned. It is a process to ensure compliance with the standards set forth in the Village Code of Ordinances.
