Generally , a community is considered to be “ built-out ” when the total amount of vacant land ( i . e . land not presently occupied by structures ) comprises five ( 5 %) percent or less of the total available land area in the community . These categories are not proposed as new zoning . As only 2 % of its land area is considered vacant , Glenview is considered a built out community . There are many advantages to being a built

out community which typically include a steady tax base , stable neighborhoods , and reliable community services .

Nevertheless , there are a variety of pressures that create a challenge for built out communities . As a desirable “ built-out ” community it is easy to embrace the status quo and prohibit change . Due to the natural cycle of change , and the

pressures communities experience to redevelop , Glenview should continue to address redevelopment with a balanced approach . Redevelopment and adaptive reuse of buildings ( e . g . Hangar One at the Glen Town Center ) can be beneficial if it retains the community ’ s character and brings in new land uses that contribute to a diversified land use mix .

While a majority of the Future Land Use Map ( shown on Figure 4-2 ) is representative of the zoning districts shown on the current zoning map , Glenview ’ s Future Land Use Map shall be used to identify appropriate land uses throughout the community . The Future Land Use Map also identifies areas that are experiencing pressure to redevelop , as discussed more fully in Chapter 5 Redevelopment .

Unmanaged redevelopment that is not well planned or simply capitalizes on the latest trends may cause different pressures when demand subsides .
