The Will County Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC), in an advisory role to the County Board, was created in 1985 by an act of the County Board to function as both the Zoning Board of Appeals and Regional Planning Commission. The PZC is comprised of 7 members appointed by the County Executive who serve five-year terms. Members review requests for zoning changes (map amendments, variances, special use permits and/or planned unit developments) and new subdivision developments (preliminary plats only). Variances authorized in the Will County Zoning Ordinance can be approved by the PZC. Recommendations for map amendment and special use permit requests are forwarded to the Will County Board's Land Use, Planning, Zoning and Development Committee for their consideration and then to the County Board for a vote along with the recommendation of the Land Use and Zoning Committee.
The Will County PZC meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month (unless otherwise posted and published). Meetings take place in the County Board Room of the County Office Building (second floor) located at 302 N. Chicago St., Joliet, IL 60432. Meetings begin promptly at 6:30 p.m.
