Staffed by the Historic Preservation Division of the Department of Planning and Development (DPD), the commission is also responsible for reviewing proposed alterations to existing landmarks and districts, as well as proposed demolitions of structures considered to be historically or architecturally significant.

Public Hearing (None currently scheduled)

Public hearings are distinct from regular commission meetings. Hearings are scheduled regarding certain proposed landmark designations, permit applications, or other processes and provide the opportunity for all interested persons to present evidence and testimony with regard to the matter under consideration. Hearings allow the commission to gather relevant facts and information to assist in its decision-making process.

Anyone wishing to participate in a public hearing must be present at the meeting. Those wishing to only view the hearing may do so by watching online via livestream. For further information, please call the Commission on Chicago Landmarks at (312) 744-3200.
