For the past several years the Planning and Zoning Commission and Park Forest staff members have worked with the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) to draft a comprehensive revision to the Village’s zoning, subdivision, and stormwater management ordinances. These ordinances control the manner in which land in the Village is used, and how it can be subdivided to create new development parcels.
