Comprehensive Plan History
In Illinois , counties , municipalities , and townships have the authority to establish comprehensive plans to promote harmonious growth and development . A comprehensive plan guides land use in an advisory , instead of a regulatory capacity . The comprehensive plan contains general goals and recommendations , which may be location specific , but also provide guidance for how future development and redevelopment can be compatible with the Village of Glenview ’ s overall vision .
The Village had three previous Comprehensive Plan documents of note , the 1960 Plan , the 1990 Plan and the 2004 Plan . Following is a brief description of the previous three plans .
Comprehensive Plan 1960
The 1960 Comprehensive Plan was the first modern plan , and an update to the 1953- 1954 Comprehensive Plan . The plan provided a summary of current conditions and recommendations for Residential Aspects , Commercial Aspects , Industrial Aspects , and Major Streets and Parking . The 1960 Comprehensive Plan discussed an Implementation Plan to address the recommendations , which included zoning ordinances , building codes , a Land Subdivision Platting Ordinance , and an Appearance Plan to regulate aesthetics in commercial and multi-family districts . This Appearance Code was one of the first of its kind in the country .
Comprehensive Plan 1990
The 1990 Comprehensive Plan addressed the community-wide issues of Residential Land Use , Commercial Land Use , Transportation and Circulation , Annexation , Community Service , Conservation , and Open Space and Drainage . To mitigate these concerns , the plan described goals and objectives for Growth , Circulation , Residential Environment , Village Services , and Image . The plan included a Land Use Plan , Circulation Plan , Community Facilities Plan , Capital Improvements Plan , and Special Study Areas including the redevelopment of the Glenview Naval Air Station . The plan also included a summary of a survey that was distributed to Glenview residents to identify strengths and weaknesses of Glenview .
Comprehensive Plan 2004
The 2004 Comprehensive Plan focused widely on land use concerns ; however , it referenced the 1990 Future Land Use map . The plan is organized by three different land use types : Districts , Corridors , and Places . Each was defined and provided recommendations for improvement . The plan also included a Transportation Study , which outlined existing and future transportation conditions and provided recommendations . Policies , regulations , and methods of operation are provided to address the recommendations .
