Appearance Commission

The Appearance Commission is responsible for enhancing the quality of the built environment in the Village; it reviews all proposed new buildings, aesthetic changes to existing buildings, and landscaping plans.

The Commission consists of seven appointment commissioners and is staffed by advisors from the Planning and Building Divisions.  Commissioners serve a three-year term and are professionals in the fields of architecture, graphics, landscape design, urban planning, and building materials trades. Public hearings are conducted on the second and, if needed, fourth Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Village Council Chambers.  Complete applications must be received no later than 10 days prior to the established meeting date. Please see the Appearance Commission Application for filing fees. The Commission is the final hearing body.
