HomeServicesPlat of Subdivision › Berkeley, IL

Berkeley is a small western suburb of quiet residential streets bordered by expressway and rail corridors. Because the village is compact and largely built out, a plat of subdivision here usually addresses a single lot split or a redevelopment parcel rather than a broad new tract. Opportunities for large greenfield subdivisions are minimal in a community of this size and density.

What a plat of subdivision does

A plat of subdivision divides a parcel into lots, blocks, streets and easements in compliance with the municipality’s subdivision and zoning ordinances, then is recorded with the county. It is the foundation of any residential or commercial development.

Berkeley & Cook County specifics

With about 5,300 residents, Berkeley sits in Proviso Township in western Cook County, hemmed in by major transportation routes. Subdivision activity is modest and tends toward infill and redevelopment given the limited unbuilt land. Any plat of subdivision must satisfy the village’s subdivision and zoning ordinances, which govern lot sizes, frontage, and easements, before Berkeley grants approval. The approved plat is then recorded with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division, the office that assumed the Recorder of Deeds duties in December 2020, placing the new lots into the county record.
