Appearance Commission
Until July 2021, the Appearance Commission's role was to protect Glenview’s distinctive character by regulating the general appearance of many of its developments. The goal was to ensure that developments were harmonious with their surroundings, contributing to a less cluttered, more attractive community. The Commission reviewed, analyzed and approved all aesthetic changes (including facade alterations, signage and landscaping) to commercial, industrial and multifamily residential developments and issued Certificates of Appropriateness.
