Chicago Plan Commission
Contact: 312.744.4182
The Chicago Plan Commission is responsible for the review of proposals that involve Planned Developments (PDs), the Lakefront Protection Ordinance, Planned Manufacturing Districts (PMDs), Industrial Corridors and Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Districts. It also reviews proposed sales and acquisitions of public land as well as certain long-range community plans. Established in 1909, the commission has 23 members, including mayoral appointees made with City Council consent. Staff services are provided by the Planning and Zoning Division of the Department of Planning and Development (DPD). Meetings are held on the third Thursday of every month, usually at City Hall, 121 N. LaSalle St., in City Council chambers.
For applicants who would like to schedule a Concept/Land Use Review Meeting with DPD Regional Planners, please email CPC@cityofchicago.org. These meetings will take place on Friday mornings between 10 a.m. and noon.

Master PD Updates
(Revised Dec. 24, 2020)
DPD recently posted updated documents that incorporate public comments received on the Master Planned Development (PD) documents, first presented to the Plan Commission in fall 2019. The proposed requirements would supplement existing protocols for PD projects, as detailed in DPD's Development Manual, and create a "Master PD" designation that would apply to projects of a certain size and scope.
The revised addendum to the Development Manual also includes community meeting guidelines for Master PDs, a separate “Supplemental Materials and Studies” section specific to Master PDs, and a Community Impact Assessment Form, which requires the applicant to provide project details on existing and proposed site conditions as well as information on demographics, services and amenities of the surrounding neighborhood.
Public comments on the revised documents, listed below, were due on Wednesday, Dec. 16. DPD is reviewing the public's comments and will provide updates when available.
DPD hosted a community webinar on the proposed Master PD guidelines on Tuesday, Dec. 8. The meeting presentation is available for review, and a replay of the event is available on DPD's YouTube page and posted below.
Upcoming meetings of the Chicago Plan Commission will be hosted virtually.
Rules for virtual meetings are available now for review. A summary of the public comment portion is available below:
- Written statements are the preferred method of public comment and will be accepted up to 24 hours in advance of the meeting at CPC@cityofchicago.org. Statements will be posted online for public review prior to the start of each meeting.
- Members of the public wishing to speak must submit a speaking request form. Forms must be submitted by 10 a.m. the Tuesday preceding the meeting to CPC@cityofchicago.org.
- Verbal statements for all agenda items will take place at the beginning of each meeting, versus after each presentation.
- A maximum of 15 members of the public will be permitted to comment on each proposal due to technical limitations. Selected speakers for each item will be chosen on a first-come, first-serve basis. Each will be given instructions on how to provide up to three minutes of testimony.
