Appearance Commission

The Appearance Commission's role is to protect Glenview’s distinctive character by regulating the general appearance of many of its developments. The goal is to ensure that developments are harmonious with their surroundings, contributing to a less cluttered, more attractive community. The seven-member Commission, appointed by the Board of Trustees, includes architects, landscape architects, and at least one “owner, or an officer of a corporation owning business, commercial or industrial property in Glenview.” The Commission reviews, analyzes and approves all aesthetic changes (including facade alterations, signage, and landscaping)) to commercial, industrial, and multi-family residential developments and issues Certificates of Appropriateness.
