The Planning Division of the Community Development Department is responsible for current planning, comprehensive planning and interpreting and enforcing the zoning ordinance, overseeing proposed rezoning, annexations and variances, reviewing site plans, subdivision plats and new development proposals as they relate to overall growth of the community.

Our comprehensive planning responsibilities include planning research and long range use planning. We carry out this responsibility by working with the Plan Commission, the Board of Trustees, other Village Commissions and concerned citizens to develop and implement long-range plans. The long range vision for Matteson is contained within the Matteson Comprehensive Plan.

The economic development function is linked closely with our current planning responsibilities. We work closely with residential, commercial, and industrial developers to assist them in the development process to ensure that their project is a success.
