The purpose of the Human Rights Commission is to promote and
encourage mutual respect, cooperation and
understanding between the diverse peoples living
within the Village of Wheeling. The Commission also
acts to safeguard the lawful preservation of the
human rights of all citizens as guaranteed by the
State and Federal Constitutions, so as to provide
all individuals with an equal opportunity to grow,
participate and share to the best of their ability
in our economic, educational, political, social and
judicial systems. The Human Rights Commission’s
seven members are appointed to two year terms by the
Village President and Board of Trustees. One
way the Commission promotes better relations between
the
Village’s diverse racial, ethnic, religious, cultural and
social groups is to speak to local groups concerning
bigotry. Read more about their "That's
Not Right" presentation

The
Plan Commission consists of seven members
appointed by the Village President and the Board of
Trustees to three year terms. The Plan Commission also acts as the Sign Code Board of
Appeals and the Appearance Review Commission for the
Village. The Commission was created to prepare a
comprehensive Village plan for the guidance,
direction and control of the growth and development
or redevelopment of the Village of Wheeling and
contiguous territory not more than one and one-half
miles beyond the corporate limits and not included
in any municipality. The Plan Commission also
reviews the Village Comprehensive Plan from time to
time as needed. The Plan Commission routinely
holds hearings for the review of proposed site plans
for commercial, industrial, and retail developments
within the Village. Site Plan review is the review
of proposed construction drawings for building
location, parking and traffic flow, landscaping,
appearance, and signage.
The Plan Commission is vested with the duty to
hear and recommend to the Village Board, appeals
from any order, requirement, decision or
determination made by the Zoning Administrator under
this Title, in the manner and subject to the
standards set out in Chapter 19.90 of the Wheeling
Municipal Code. The Plan Commission also
hears and recommends to the corporate authorities
applications for variations from the regulations and
restrictions imposed by this Title subject to the
standards set out in Chapter 19.88 of the Wheeling
Municipal Code. Lastly, the Plan
Commission also hears and recommends to the Village
Board any requests for changes in a property's
Zoning classification. |
