Brookfield has launched a website for its project to update the village’s zoning code — and it wants residents to give their feedback.
The village Wednesday announced the public release of a report sharing findings from a technical review of its zoning code by Brookfield’s consultant for the project, Camiros, a Chicago-based planning, zoning and urban design firm.
According to its introduction, the 56-page report is designed to “highlight key issues and revisions that that represent substantive changes to current regulations” rather than discuss every potential change to the village’s zoning code.
The report goes into detail about possible amendments to the zoning code, including reorganizing the code’s format, standardizing use permissions, modernizing the nomenclature for district zoning and updating standards for development across several sections of the code, among other proposals.
Representatives from Camiros will be present at two upcoming commission meetings to give an overview of the report to the public: the economic development commission meeting on July 17 at 5:30 p.m. and the planning and zoning commission meeting on July 25 at 7 p.m. Both meetings will be held in the Council Chamber at Brookfield Village Hall.
To learn more about the village’s project or read a copy of Camiros’s technical review report, visit the project website at brookfieldcodeupdate.com. Residents who want to give their feedback on the report or other aspects of the project can do so on the website’s feedback page or by emailing Planning Division Manager Kate Portillo at kportillo@brookfieldil.gov.
