Zoning

Code & Map

The village zoning code is Chapter 122 of the Village Code of Ordinances. The zoning map can be viewed in the Development office at the Village Hall or view the zoning map online. Updates to the official map may change periodically.

Residential Setbacks

Receiving zoning approval is generally the first step in the residential building process, followed by applying for and receiving a building permit or a zoning permit (PDF). You need to check with Development for setback information before you construct a principal structure (home) or any accessory structure (fence, shed, pool, etc.). You can also check the zoning map to determine your zoning district and use the Building Types section of the Zoning Code to determine your setbacks. 

For some projects, zoning approval is required as part of the review of an application for a building permit; in other instances such as small sheds and fences, only a zoning permit (PDF) is required.
