Planned Uses
Some proposed projects in the City of O’Fallon require additional review through a process called “Planned Use.” This is a type of zoning review that allows appointed and elected officials, as well as the public, to review proposed developments and control for any unique impacts the project may have on the community that the standard zoning code does not address. The project must be granted approval through a series of public meetings. These meetings include Planning Commission, Community Development Committee, and City Council.
It is highly recommended that potential Planned Use applicants schedule a meeting with City staff prior to beginning work on a Planned Use application. During the pre-application meeting, staff will determine if the process is required for the project, and if so, clarify which application materials are necessary. Please contact our office at (618) 624-4500 ext. 4 to set up a meeting.
