ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES OF APRIL 10, 2007 III. CITIZENS TO BE HEARD IV. COMMERCIAL SOUD WASTE BID SPECIFICATIONS The Public Works Department is beginning the process of developing an exclusive commercial solid waste program for Village businesses. Public Works staff will present an overview of the bid specifications and discuss the general scope of the program. Topics discussed will include services provided, the results of a commercial solid waste needs survey, replacement of dumpsters, and direct billing. V. EMERALD ASH BORER AND THE COLLECTION OF LOGS On April 30, 2007, the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC) stopped accepting logs as part of the waste stream. This action was taken in response to a recent federal restriction on the transportation of yard waste material, including logs, across state lines. Prior to April 30, SWANCC disposed of logs as refuse in Wisconsin landfills. The United States Department of Agriculture has established this state-wide quarantine to help limit the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer insect. This voracious insect has caused the demise of millions of ash trees in the United States and has already been discovered in the Chicagoland area. Staff will be on hand to explain the quarantine and detail the solid waste program changes necessary to continue the collection and disposal of logs in Mount Prospect.

VI. 2007 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE A comprehensive plan is a long range planning tool used to define an area's vision, goals, and policies. An effective plan accurately communicates citizen needs and desires about their community and recommends specific strategies to achieve those values. A typical plan sets a 20-year vision for the community. The Plan is an active document that must be reviewed on a regular basis to ensure the community's development goals are accurately communicated. The original Plan was adopted in 1965, and amended in 1981, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1994, and 1998. The 2007 Plan Update and Land Use Map represent a significant commitment by Mount Prospect to guide and control its future. It is based on several months of intense effort by local officials, staff, and residents to review improvement needs and development requirements. It reflects a strong local consensus concerning what the Village should become in the future. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on April 12, 2007, culminating an 8-month process that involved numerous stakeholders in the Village, and forwards their recommended modifications to the Plan for the Village Board's consideration. Staff will present the recommendations and facilitate further discussion on the document at the May 8, 2007 Committee of the Whole meeting. VII. VILLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT . STATUS VIII.

CITIZENS TO BE HEARD Dave Toeppen, 409 South Hi-Lusi Avenue, spoke. He stated he is supportive of any legislative control the Village Board may bring regarding the LED Lighting that is becoming more prevalent in sign boards these days. IV. PROPOSED TEXT AMENDMENTS Community Development Director Bill Cooney stated staff is asking the Village Board and Planning and Zoning Commission input on five or six main topics for direction for staff research. Senior Planner Judy Connolly provided an outline regarding the topics. She stated topics included are: 1. Townhouse Design 2. Floor Area Ratio or FAR 3. Permitted and Conditional Uses 4. Unenclosed Porches 5. LED Lighting Townhouse Desian Judy Connolly stated the current code allows townhouse density of ten units per acre in the R2 Zoning District. She inquired whether the code should be revised to reflect the lower density desire of the Village Board. General comments from the Village Board members included the following items. They stated density is dependant on the setting and design of the project. There is also a need to include all necessary parking on site and depending on how it fits together will determine the density level. Several Village Board members felt that the current density level is a little high and would be supportive of lowering the level. 1 It was also suggested that interior streets that supply access to the site be included as part of the overall footprint along with public use spaces and the need to include residential amenities like patios. Village Manager Janonis suggested the Village Board consider the use of defining the amenities desired per unit for example, including the number of parking spaces, green space, patio, storage etc. based on the space of these items then the remaining area would be available for design of the units themselves. Bill Cooney stated that staff could define ratios that could be used for determining the number of units per site and could give examples of recent developments to get a better idea on understanding the site issues. Consensus of the Village Board was to consider fewer than 10 units per acre and consider making the process more efficient by using amenities as a determining factor for the number of units per site. Arlene Juracek, Chair Person of the Planning and Zoning Commission spoke. She stated the Commission members would welcome the discussion and feels that lowered density should be clearly codified. Judy Connolly highlighted the fact that guest parking should be addressed and does have an impact on the garage size minimum and green space available for determining parking per unit. She inquired whether these items should be included as part of the staff review of such developments. General comments from the Village Board members included the following items. Several Trustees felt that all parking per development should be self contained and should not rely on street parking availability for guest parking. It was also suggested that the garages be defined with minimum sizes so that the necessary incorporation of storage and garbage cans can be consolidated internally. There was also a discussion regarding private drives or drives into the development that are not standard Village widths in rights of way. It was also recommended that patio space be reserved for each unit and incorporated into the design. The staff recommended a minimum size development standard could be defined that would be required to make a public amenity donation or benefit offsite including possible additional sidewalks and tree replacements. Floor Area Ratio Discussion- (FAR) Judy Connolly stated that a possible response for tear down issues within the community could be to reduce the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and increase the setbacks so the structure does not appear to fill the site due to the bulk of the house. General comments from the Village Board members include the following items. There was general satisfaction with the FAR ratio as it exists. It was also suggested that the Village Board be provided with some examples of possible complaints in the past so that there is a clear understanding of what may be the issue. It was also recommended that one opportunity to reduce the bulk on the site would be to maintain the side yard setbacks when the site is redeveloped. 2 Arlene Juracek stated that the FAR would not resolve this issue but the Village Board may want to consider extending the side yard set backs so that there is a reduction in the massive looking appearance of the structure. Joe Connely, Planning and Zoning Commission member spoke. He suggested a review of the roof line height be considered to reduce the mass appearance of the structure on the site. Permitted and Conditional Uses: Judy Connolly stated staff has recommended provisions for Cultural Centers, Pet Day Care Facilities, Senior Housing, and distinguishing Community Centers from Cultural Centers. She stated staff has created a chart to clearly understand the differences and what additional items, including the conversion of commercial property to a church or homes to churches, will need additional Village Board input to be considered further. General comments from the Village Board members included the following items. They all suggested that a clear definition of each use be defined as a conditional use. It was also suggested that staff look at other towns based on the activities that seem to be occurring and to ensure that the handicap accessibility standards are maintained when the sites are considered for revision due to conditional use. Unenclosed Porches: Judy Connolly wanted to confirm whether the Village Board was comfortable with staff administrative review as the final approval compared to Planning and Zoning conditional approval to reduce the approval time down to 60-90 days for unenclosed porches. General comments from the Village Board members included following items. Several Village Board members stated they were comfortable with the staff review criteria and the conditional use remains with the property for future owners for record keeping purposes. Arlene Juracek stated that the criteria is very clear and strict material quality has been enforced through the hearing process and included staff input. LED Lighting Incorporated Into Electronic Signage Displays: Judy Connolly stated new technology has made these lights more efficient, they burn very bright, and staff is suggesting defining light levels so that the use of these lights does not become obtrusive. General comments from the Village Board members included the following items. It was suggested that staff review the brightness standards in an effort to understand what can be done technologically regarding LED Lighting. It was also suggested that signs be reviewed to address monument sign height compared to possible conflicts with parkway trees. The Village Board might consider sunsetting of lighting exemptions to encourage the switch over to full cut off lights. 3 Other Zonina Issues: Mayor Wilks suggested the Village consider a model sound ordinance that has been created by the O'Hare Noise Compatibility Commission. This ordinance addresses all noise, not just air craft noise, and could be used as a guideline for architects, builders and homeowners. V. VilLAGE MANAGER'S REPORT Michael Janonis stated that Coffee With Council is scheduled for April 14th from 9:00 a.m. -11 :00 a.m. in the Community Center. VI. ANY OTHER BUSINESS Village Manager Janonis stated that the Village Board meeting has been moved to April 18th due the conflict with the Consolidated Election on April 17th. Mayor Wilks stated that there is a Pot Luck Dinner on April 19th in the Community Center as part of the Sister Cities activities. Mayor Wilks also stated that there is a canvas of the votes from the election of April 17th but it will not be completed until May 8th, therefore, the swear in of any new Trustees would occur on May 15th. Manager Janonis stated that vehicle stickers will be on sale every Saturday in April from this point forward from 9:00 a.m. until noon. VII. ADJOURNMENT Meeting adjourned at 9:33 p.m. -<~ l~~J ~ DAVID STRAHL Assistant Village Manager 4 MOllnt Prospect Mount Prospect Public Works Department INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: VILLAGE MANAGER MICHAEL E. JANONIS FROM: ADMINISTRATIVE SUPERINTENDENT DATE: MAY 1,2007 SUBJECT: COMMERCIAL SOLID WASTE BID SPECIFICATIONS Upon direction from the Village Board the Public Works department was given the task of developing and negotiating an exclusive agreement for commercial solid waste services. The services provided for in the bid specifications include the collection of commercial solid waste and recycling. In addition, the bid specifications require the exclusive waste hauler to bill for services on behalf of the Village. The bid specifications were given to ARC Disposal (ARC), the Village's exclusive residential waste hauler, with the idea to negotiate directly with ARC for an exclusive commercial solid waste contract. ARC has submitted an initial proposal that is being reviewed by Village staff. If the Village and ARC are unable to come to terms the plan would be to go out to bid for commercial solid waste services. The current status of negotiations prevents the public discussion of specifics of the proposal, but it is possible to discuss the basic components of the bid specifications. (Attached) The bid specifications would require the exclusive franchise waste hauler to collect commercial solid waste and provide recycling services beginning September 1, 2007 with the contract ending December 31, 2015. Commercial solid waste refers to all garbage, ashes, manure, household litter, junk scraps and etc. Recycling services includes the collection of all fiber products, glass containers (clear, green and brown), food and drink cans, aerosol cans and etc. In addition to the commercial services provided by the exclusive hauler on behalf of the Village the hauler shall also make available to the commercial properties private service for all types of solid waste not otherwise covered by the solid waste contract. Items that would be included as private service are earth, sod, rocks, concrete, rubble and waste from remodeling, construction and demolition of buildings, excavations and other materials. The waste hauler shall not be required to provide for the collection and disposal of poisonous or toxic materials and large quantities of liquid requiring tank truck disposal equipment. Anticipating the potential for an exclusive commercial solid waste agreement the Public Works department has been conducting surveys of commercial properties concerning solid waste services. The survey has been invaluable in providing a detailed database of the properties receiving service, the number of dumpsters and the frequency of collection for the purposes of securing a cost proposal. In addition, this information will be given to the exclusive waste hauler to aid in the transfer of services from the current scavengers to the Village's exclusive waste hauler. Once a commercial solid waste contract is awarded all commercial properties will be contacted and informed of the schedule for the change out of the property's dumpster(s). The Village currently has two plans for the switching of dumpsters. The first of the two ideas is to replace the dumpsters by geographic location. This would require the town to be broken into geographic regions with each region being scheduled a specific date for replacement. The second idea is to switch containers based on the existing waste hauler. Each existing waste hauler would be assigned a specific date for replacement. In terms of both scenarios a decision has not been made as to whether the dumpsters would be collected by the hauler owning the dumpsters or if the Village's exclusive hauler would collect the dumpsters. If the Village's exclusive waste hauler is assigned the task of collecting the dumpsters the dumpsters would be delivered to a centralized location at which point the owners of the dumpsters would then collect the dumpsters. Once a property's dumpsters are changed the Village's exclusive hauler would be responsible for service and billing. The bid specifications require that the exclusive hauler be responsible for directly billing all commercial properties for service. Properties would be billed for collection of commercial waste for the previous quarter. The Village would set the rates charged by the waste hauler. Rates would include the contractor's rate for refuse and recycling services, which includes all tip fees, and any administration fee established by the Village. Commercial properties would be phased into the billing and service schedule as dumpsters are switched. The bid specifications require that all commercial properties begin receiving service under the contract within one (1) year of the commencement of the commercial solid waste agreement. This does not prevent the exclusive hauler from changing out dumpsters on a more aggressive schedule. The only properties that would be exempt from the commercial solid waste contract would be properties that are part of a national contract for the collection of commercial waste. Past experiences of SW ANCC communities implementing exclusive commercial waste collection contracts suggest that the current rates paid by national contracts will be lower then the rates offered by the Village's exclusive contract. In a majority of cases the rates outlined in the exclusive commercial waste agreement will be lower then the rate properties are currently paying. However, in a few cases the rate properties are currently paying will be less then the rates outlined on the Village's exclusive agreement. The grandfather clause as currently written in the bid specifications would allow properties with lower rates to continue paying the lower rate for a full year. Beginning in the second year of the contract grandfathered properties would see set percentage increases that would bring the properties inline with contract rates by the beginning of year four (4) of the contract. As previously stated the Village is currently negotiating exclusively with ARC with the goal of having an agreement in place by the end of May 2007. If the Village fails to reach an agreement with ARC the Village would go out to bid for commercial services in early June. The Village would plan on awarding a bid for commercial services in early July. If you should have any questions concerning the details of the bid specifi ations, do not hesitate to contact me. ~ -- Jason H.

JANONIS FROM: ADMINISTRATIVE SUPERINTENDENT DATE: MAY 3,2007 SUBJECT: EMERALD ASH BORER AND THE COLLECTION OF LOGS Monday, April 30 the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC) stopped accepting logs as garbage. This is in response to the Federal Emerald Ash Borer quarantine that includes the entire state of Illinois. This quarantine prohibits the transportation of any yard waste material beyond state lines. SWANCC currently transports all waste including logs disposed of as garbage to Wisconsin. The Federal quarantine prohibits SWANCC from perpetuating this practice. Therefore, SWANCC will no longer be accepting logs with garbage. Historically, all logs over 3.5 inches in diameter were disposed as garbage. ARC Disposal (ARC), the Villages exclusive waste hauler, has agreed to change this practice and collect all logs over 3.5 inches in diameter as brush instead of garbage. The Village yard waste sticker is not required, but the current restriction limiting the quantity of logs for disposal to one (1) cubic yard will remain in place. The logs will be transported from ARC's facility with all other brush and yard waste to Midwest Material Management in East Dundee, IL for disposal. If logs are unintentionally taken to SWANCC after April 30 as garbage they would be sorted out and the Village and ARC would not be penalized. Attached is a document that details the solid waste service change concerning logs over 3.5 inches in diameter. The information has been placed on the Village's website and sent out as a press release. The amount of households that actually dispose of logs over 3.5" is a very small number, so at present time the Village will not be distributing a flyer to all households. Village staff does have a plan in place to make contact with residents that violate the new policy. If an ARC driver discovers a household violating the new disposal rules a flyer, similar to the document placed on the website, will be left at the home. If you should have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. ~---/. ~/ -- c----- 1 Mount. Prospect r 'k.,'...... ~~...~ , J Village of Mount Prospect Press Release CHANGE IN SOLID WASTE SERVICES DUE TO EMERALD ASH BORER THREAT Logs over 3.5" in diameter to be collected as brush, no sticker required DATE: May 1, 2007 CONTACT: Jason Leib, Administrative Superintendent, Public Works Department PHONE: 847/870-5640 Why is there a change in garbage service? Due to the emergence of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) in areas of Illinois the Federal Department of Agriculture has instituted a state wide quarantine (currently EAB has not been found in Mount Prospect). The rules of the Federal quarantine prevent the collection and disposal of logs with regular garbage. The Village's current practice of disposing of logs over 3.5" in diameter with regular garbage must cease immediately. How does this affect me? Currently residents are allowed to dispose of logs over 3.5" in diameter with their regular garbage. New Federal and State regulations prevent the disposal of logs in the regular garbage stream. To address this issue the Village will now collect logs over 3.5" as part of the brush collection program. Logs can no longer be placed in garbage carts. - MORE - Village of Mount Prospect 50 South Emerson Street Mount Prospect, Illinois 60056 Phone: 847/392-6000 Fax: 847/392-6022 www.mountprospect.org Village of Mount Prospect Solid Waste Service to Change Page 2 5/1/2007 Logs must be placed outside the carts to allow ARC Disposal to collect the logs as brush.

Yard waste stickers are still required for yard waste, which includes grass, leaves, weeds and other plant material excluding brush and logs. The change in service is effective immediately. All questions concerning the disposal of large logs should be directed to the Public Works Department (847-870-5640). I/.II.JI..II.# Village of Mount Prospect Community Development Department Mount Prospect MEMORANDUM TO: MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER FROM: DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DATE: MAY 4, 2007 SUBJECT: 2007 COMPREHENSNE PLAN UPDATE The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve the update to the Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map. The Planning & Zoning Commission heard the request at their April 12, 2007 meeting. Before consideration for adoption of the Update at a future Village Board Meeting, Staffwill present an overview of the Update at the May 8, 2007 Committee of the Whole Meeting. BACKGROUND Because development in the Village is dynamic, the Comprehensive Plan is reviewed and updated regularly. The original Plan was adopted in 1965, revised on April 8, 1981 and updated in 1984, 1988, 1992, 1994, and 1998. Previous versions of the Plan were prepared by the Village with the assistance of a planning consulting firm and responded to the critical need to guide and coordinate local development and improvement actions. Previous Plans included continuing, short-term, as well as long-range planning recommendations for land use, transportation, and community facilities, through an action-oriented implementation program. The 2007 Plan Update and Land Use Map represented a significant commitment by Mount Prospect to guide and control its future. It was based on several months of intense effort by local officials, staff, and residents to review improvement needs and development requirements. It reflected a strong local consensus concerning what the Village should become in the future. The key steps for the 2007 Comprehensive Plan Update included: Existing Conditions Data Collection: Existing conditions data was compiled over the summer of 2006. A summary, provided in Chapter 2 of the Plan, presents information on population and housing; economic development; transportation, utilities, community facilities; and land-use, zoning, & annexation. The summaries analyze each of these topics as they currently exist and gives a "snapshot" of the Village. Internal Staff Opportunities Review Workshop: In August 2006, an internal staff workshop was conducted that explained the purpose of the Comprehensive Plan and introduced the time line and methodology that was used for the update. In this meeting a "brainstorming" session was conducted that evaluated opportunities in the Village as they relate to land use. Stakeholder Interviews and Focus Groups: During the fall of 2006, interviews and focus groups were conducted with the school districts, park districts, townships, Mount Prospect Library, Economic Development Commission, Chamber of Commerce, Mount Prospect Downtown Merchant's Association, and key business and commercial property owners. The Village was interested in 1) updating its community facilities (parks, schools, churches, etc.) inventory for the Plan; 2) discussing each organization's long range plans as they relate to land use; and 3) reviewing the status of the goals, objectives, and implementation section of the 1998 plan as it related to each organization. Village Board & Planning and Zoning Commission Meetings: The Planning & Zoning Commission met regularly with Planning Division staff for the duration of the update. Two joint meetings (September and October 2007 Comprehensive Plan Update May 8, 2007 Committee of the Whole Meeting Page 2 2006) with the Planning & Zoning Commission and Village Board focused on the overall planning process and goals for the Village, and the identification of major planning issues and opportunity areas. Updates on the process, Plan draft text and maps were released regularly at the public meetings, on MPTV, the Village Newsletter and on the Village web site, where residents were able to comment. Land Use Map and Descriptions Open House: Based on the preliminary discussions with stakeholders in the community the future land use map and descriptions were prepared and presented at an open house in December 2006. The open house served as an opportunity for citizen input on changes that were proposed to be made to the 1998 generalized land use map. SUMMARY OF THE 2007 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE The update to the document is organized in the following chapters: Chapter 1: Introduction This chapter serves as the introduction to the Plan, providing a summary of 1) previous comprehensive plan updates, 2) existing sub-area and strategic plans, 3) the update process for the 2007 Update, and 4) benefits of the comprehensive plan process. Chapter 2: Mount Prospect - A 2006 Snapshot This chapter presents a historical and current view of Mount Prospect and creates a community profile as of 2006. The chapter presents information on the Village's population, housing, economic development, transportation, utilities, community facilities, land-use, zoning, and annexations. Chapter 3: Vision, Goals, and Objectives The front page of Chapter 3 presents the Mount Prospect Vision Statement, drafted for the 2007 Update of the Plan. The vision statement identifies how Mount Prospect sees itself in the future. This serves as the foundation of the plan and guide for the update of the goals and objectives from the 1998 Comprehensive Plan. Goals and objectives are also provided for your consideration. Chapter 4: Land Use Map and Descriptions The land use map for the 1998 Plan was determined to be overly site specific and complicated to interpret. Accordingly, the proposed land use map is now more "generalized" and easier to read and comprehend by residents and potential commercial interests. For example, in the 1998 Plan, Mount Prospect Plaza and its surrounding commercial area were designated as two different types of commercial land uses ("Community Commercial" and "Neighborhood Commercial"), when in reality the various parcels functioned as one shopping center. In the proposed plan, all parcels associated with the center are designated as "Community Commercial." Changes were made to two Land Use Categories (housing and commercial) and expanded definitions were written for each land use presented on the map. . Housing. The 1998 land use types were thought to be unnecessarily specific and read like a Zoning Map. The three residential land use categories in the 1998 Plan were consolidated into two land use types: single family residential and multi-family residential with the former including both detached and attached single family housing with less than 10 units per acre and the latter all apartments and condominium buildings found at a density of more than 10 units per acre. The updated future land use categories and map locations recommend general locations for these two types of residential land uses in the Village, but ultimately the Zoning Ordinance will determine and control the specific types and densities of single family and multi-family residential developments that occur in the Village. . Commercial. It was determined that the 1998 land use plan did not accurately represent the type of development located throughout the Village or in downtown. In the 1998 land use plan the majority of downtown was classified as Community Commercial, the same category of development as Randburst 2007 Comprehensive Plan Update May 8, 2007 Committee of the Whole Meeting Page 3 Shopping Center or Mount Prospect Plaza. In reality the future development of Downtown Mount Prospect will contain a dense, intensive land use pattern focusing on an urban style of development and architecture typical of a commuter rail served downtown environment and not a larger auto-oriented shopping center. Two commercial categories were expanded into three: o A new land use categories was created for the Downtown, named "Central Commercia1." This removes downtown from the "Community Commercial" category, a category which remains in the plan. o The "General Office and Commercial" category used in the 1998 Plan has been changed to "Neighborhood Commercial" for the 2007 Update. This designation is found on smaller lots with a depth not sufficient for outlots. o "Community Commercial" remains and is used to designate land suitable for retail development with a parcels of depth sufficient for outlots, or adjacent to such. A 10 minute video presentation of the updates to the land use map will be presented at the meeting. Chapter 5: Implementation Program This chapter serves as a means to achieve the goals and objectives identified in Chapter 3. The chapter also prioritizes the strategies and identifies responsibility for achieving them. Appendix: In the appendix additional demographic information that was found in the tables of Chapter 2 are further compared with the Village's neighbors. With paper copies of the plan, additional large scale maps of the Land Use, community facilities, and public transportation maps will also be provided in the appendix. Whenever possible, within each chapter, text is organized according to the four elements introduced at the September 12, 2006 Comprehensive Plan Workshop: 1) Housing and Residential Areas, 2) Economic Development, 3) Transportation and Infrastructure, and 4) Community Facilities, Parks and Open Space. The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend that the Village Board adopt the update of the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map. Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at the May 8, 2007 Committee of the Whole Meeting. Staff will present an overview of the Update and answer any questions related to this matter.

RESPONSIBILITY The preparation of the Comprehensive Plan and coordination of planning for development within Mount Prospect rests with the Planning & Zoning Commission of the Village of Mount Prospect. The Planning & Zoning Commission is established under authority granted by Article VII of the Illinois Constitution (concerning Home Rule, adopted 1970) and by Chapter 24, See. 11-12-5, of the Illinois Municipal Code, which reads in part as follows: The Planning and Zoning Commission is authorized "(1) To prepare and recommend to the corporate authorities a comprehensive plan for the present and future development or redevelopment of the municipality. Such plan may be adopted in whole or in separate geographical or functional parts, each of which, when adopted, shall be the official comprehensive plan, or part thereof, of that municipality. This plan may include reasonable requirements with reference to streets, alleys, public grounds, and other improvements hereinafter specified. The plan, as recommended by the plan commission and as thereafter adopted in any municipality in this state, may be made applicable, by the terms thereof, to land situated within the corporate limits and contiguous territory not more than one and one-half miles beyond the corporate limits and not included in any municipality. Such plan may be implemented by ordinances (a) establishing reasonable standards of design for subdivisions and for resubdivisions of unimproved land and of areas subject to redevelopment in respect to public improvements as herein defined; (b) establishing reasonable requirements governing the location, width, course, and surfacing of public streets and highways, alleys, ways for public service facilities, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street lights, parks, playgrounds, school grounds, size of lots to be used for residential purposes, stormwater drainage, water supply and distribution, sanitary sewers, and sewage collection and treatment; and (c) may designate land suitable for annexation to the municipality and the recommended zoning classification for such land upon annexation. (2) To recommend changes, from time to time, in the official comprehensive plan. (3) To prepare and recommend to the corporate authorities, from time to time, plans for specific improvements in pursuance of the official comprehensive plan. (4) To give aid to the municipal officials charged with the direction of projects for improvements embraced within the official plan, to further the making of these projects, and, generally, to promote the realization of the official comprehensive plan:' Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan Page 5 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION i'i~ CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Mount Prospect has a strong history of community planning, with seven major comprehensive planning programs being undertaken since the early 1960's. These prior planning programs were completed during periods of rapid growth and development within the Village and the greater northwestern suburban area. From 1950 to 1990, Mount Prospect grew from a small residential community of approximately 4,000 in a somewhat rural setting to an established and diversified community with an estimated population of 53,170 (US Census 1990) in an urban environment. In 2000 the estimated population for the Village totaled 56,706 (US Census Bureau - www.census.gov). Mount Prospect is a mature, stable community. While vacant land remains to be developed on the south side of the Village, there are commercial areas of the community beginning to show signs of age; others are potentially underutilized and may have potential for redevelopment. Reinvestment in the community is evident with an average 3,616 building permits per year for the last ten years. For the last three years an average of 126 homes a year have had extensive improvements including first and second floor additions or complete tear-down and rebuilding of the primary residence. Almost 50% of single-family homes were built in the ranch, single-story style, while the Village also offers additional housing choices such as split-level, multiple-story, and multiple-family homes. The Village has continued to be a predominately residential community, with over 70% of the Village zoned residential. BACKGROUND AND PROCESS The Comprehensive Plan guides planning and development policy for the Village. As the primary planning document, the Plan describes goals and objectives for existing and future development in the Village, as well as the steps necessary to achieve these goals. Because the Village is dynamic, the Comprehensive Plan should be reviewed and updated regularly. This document represents an update of the Comprehensive Plan for Mount Prospect. The original Plan was adopted in 1965, revised in 1981 and updated in 1984, 1988, 1992, 1994, and 1998. Previous versions of the Plan were prepared by the Village with the assistance of a planning consulting firm and responds to a critical need to guide and coordinate local development and improvement actions. Previous plans included ongoing, short term, as well as long term planning recommendations for land use, transportation, and community facilities, through an action-oriented implementation program. Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan Page 6 .~ CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION The elements of the Comprehensive Plan affect all residents of the Village. The goals, objectives and policies presented in this Comprehensive Plan Update cover a number of important topic areas and are organized into four areas: Economic Development ~"".'.' ~{~~JY-L '.1 .~-li " Ii I ,-Ji I ' I , LJ Housing and Residential Areas IT ;'-j' !/ III III \ I 1-' .t~-i :: n II C~ i.J j m II b c... 2007 :OMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE ~'-- ['J C' j-7 S~i;-~-; '/1 :: "", ,/ "'-., "1 r'I.. :: ~ U II C"~(~ .....,.. -;",' _~_ v _,' r:: · - \. v .

Although funding has not been released from the State, the Village increases the likelihood of receiving future technical assistance grants that may be used to write or revise future local comprehensive plans for the Village. Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan ransportation and Infrastructure Page 7 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION EXISTING SUB AREA AND STRATEGIC PLANS In many respects the Comprehensive Plan serves as an "umbrella plan" as the primary advisory land use planning document for the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Village Board. The Comprehensive Plan is general in nature, while sub area and strategic plans have greater detail on specific geographic areas of the Village. Sub area and strategic plans are developed by the Village of Mount Prospect to address more than just general goals and objectives. They frequently address extensive development and/or redevelopment issues, and the processes to carry out the strategic development. The goals and objectives of these sub area and strategic plans are drafted in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, but remain "stand-alone" documents. Existing sub area and strategic plans include: SUB AREAS (Corridors) Central Road Corridor Plan: Adopted and made part of the Official Comprehensive Plan in March 1996, this plan focused on the area bounded by Central Road, Northwest Highway, and the Arlington Heights - Mount Prospect corporate boundary. The corridor study provided a more detailed plan leading to specific actions based upon general planning principles outlined in the Village Comprehensive Plan. The plan also reaffirmed the Village's belief that the majority of the corridor should continue to be a combination of commercial and light industrial land uses. Rand Road Corridor Plan: Adopted and made part of the Official Comprehensive Plan in May 1998, this plan provided the community with a general vision of how commercial and residential properties along Rand Road should be developed or redeveloped. SUB AREAS (Downtown) Tax Increment Redevelopment Plan and Project (with 3 Amendments): Originally adopted in 1985 for the establishment of the downtown TIF district, the plan and project identifies strategic projects and redevelopment opportunities necessary to achieve the goals of the district. The TIF district itself has expanded its original boundaries by amendments made in 1988 and 1992. The 3rd amendment, adopted in August 2006, amended the existing redevelopment plan and project and extended the life of the TIF to 2022. Downtown TIF District Strategic Plan: Adopted and made part of the Official Comprehensive Plan in February 1998, this plan, completed by the Downtown Strategic Plan Ad Hoc Committee, identified consensus on the most appropriate redevelopment alternatives in the downtown. The plan also outlined the process for redevelopment to occur and prioritized sites for redevelopment. At the request of the Village Board, a second Ad Hoc Committee met on a weekly basis from the beginning of December 2003 through mid-February 2004 to review the Strategic Plan.

"" - "'" )to "t ...- ~""h- ~.;: ~ :~. \.~~1 ~ Page 8 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION The Committee, through a series of public meetings, reaffirmed appropriate development opportunities and recommended changes. This work lead to the expansion and extension of the TIF district in 2006. In addition, the Committee was also asked to look at other potential redevelopment opportunities that exist outside of the boundaries established by the existing Strategic Plan. STRATEGIC PLANS Other strategic planning documents exist to guide the Village in daily operations. The Capital Improvement Plan and the Village of Mount Prospect 5 Year Consolidated Plan are documents that plan the allocation of resources necessary to implement the strategies of the Comprehensive Plan. Corridor Design Guidelines (2004): Various major street and highway corridors throughout the Village were studied to determine the relative visual strength and condition of each. The guidelines serve as a manual for an overall program of corridor improvement throughout key sites in the Village. The key sites provide opportunities to identify the Village and welcome residents and visitors alike to Mount Prospect. Capital Improvement Plan (Annually): Prepared by the Finance Department and Village Manager's Office with the help of each Village department, this plan is updated annually; it is a plan for capital expenditures and projects over the upcoming five years for the Village. The capital improvements plan gives a clear, comprehensive view of the Village's long- term capital needs and a firm basis from which to begin the preparation of the next year's operating budget. Village of Mount Prospect 5 Year Consolidated Plan (2005 - 2009): Prepared by the Village's Neighborhood Planner, and adopted per Federal regulations through extensive public input and comment, this document guides the Village Community Development Block Grant Program. Plans are developed for a five year period and updated as needed. The current plan, for the planning period of January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2009, is a comprehensive five-year planning document that identifies the overall housing and community development needs of the Village. It outlines available programs and resources, and establishes a strategy for prioritizing and addressing these needs.

It was based on several months of intense effort by local officials, staff, and residents to review improvement needs and development requirements. It reflected a strong local consensus concerning what the Village should become in the future. The key steps for the 2007 Comprehensive Plan Update were: Existing Conditions Data Collection: Existing conditions data was compiled over the summer of 2006. A summary (Chapter 2) presents information on population and housing; economic development; transportation, utilities, community facilities; and land-use, zoning, & annexation. The summaries analyze each of these topics as they currently exist and gives a "snapshot" of the Village and offer a community profile as of 2006. Internal Staff Opportunities Review Workshop: In August 2006, an internal staff workshop was conducted that explained the purpose of the Comprehensive Plan and introduced the time line and methodology used for the update. In this meeting a "brainstorming" session was conducted that evaluated opportunities in the Village as they relate to land use. Stakeholder Interviews and Focus Groups: During the Fall of 2006, interviews and focus groups were conducted with the school districts, park districts, townships, Mount Prospect Library, Economic Development Commission, Chamber of Commerce, Mount Prospect Downtown Merchant's Association, and key business and commercial property owners. The Village was interested in 1) updating its community facilities (parks, schools, churches, etc.) inventory for the Plan; 2) discussing each organization's long range plans as they relate to land use; and 3) reviewing the status of the goals, objectives, and implementation section of the 1998 plan as it related to each organization. Village Board & Planning and Zoning Commission Meetings: The Planning & Zoning Commission met regularly with Planning Division staff for the duration of the update. Two joint meetings (September and October 2006) with the Planning & Zoning Commission and Village Board focused on the overall planning process and goals for the Village, and the identification of major planning issues and opportunity areas. Updates on the process, Plan draft text and maps were released regularly at the public meetings, on MPTV, the Village Newsletter and on the Village web site, where residents could post comments. Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan Page 10 -- ~ ~~ CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION land Use Map and Descriptions Open House: Based on the preliminary discussions with stakeholders in the community the future land use map and descriptions were prepared and presented at an open house in December 2006. The open house served as an opportunity for citizen input on changes that were proposed to the 1998 land use map. Plan and Program Preparation: Based on preliminary consensus reached on preferred concepts and strategies, a draft of the 2007 Comprehensive Plan Document and Land Use Map were prepared and delivered to the Planning and Zoning Commission and other governmental organizations in February 2007. The Village believes that citizen input is extremely valuable and essential in the development of a well thought out and feasible plan. A public hearing was held on April 12, 2007 to receive public comments for the final document. BENEFITS OF A COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING PROGRAM The process has encouraged local officials, staff, and residents to consider the future of their community more directly and to actively discuss future options and alternatives. A wide range of data and materials on local conditions was assembled and is provided in the next chapter. The plan considers where the Village is today, the issues we face as a community, and where we would like to go in the future. The final document is a plan for future growth and development which represents strong local consensus. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan and overall comprehensive planning program benefits the Mount Prospect Community because it: Promotes a balanced and orderly future development pattern which should enhance the local living environment. Establishes an overall framework for coordinating both public and private development. Provides guidelines by which the Planning and Zoning Commission and Village Board can review and evaluate individual development proposals. Provides a guide for public investments and can help ensure that local public dollars are spent wisely for community facilities and services. Clarifies long-range Village policies so that individual property owners and developers can prepare and coordinate their own development plans. Most important, the updated Comprehensive Plan reflects the Village's commitment to planning for its future on a continuing basis. Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan Page 11 CHAPTER 2: MOUNT PROSPECT - A 2006 SNAPSHOT "".. CHAPTER 2: MOUNT PROSPECT A 2006 SNAPSHOT - What is Mount Prospect all about? This snapshot of the community seeks to answer the questions of "Where have we come from?" and "How do we compare to the region, the State, and the Country?" Additional demographic information for the Village's neighboring communities can also be found in Appendix A. The summary presents information on the Village's: Population Housing Economic Development Transportation Utilities · Community facilities · Land-use Zoning Annexations Understanding the characteristics of Mount Prospect -- both the physical built- environment and the composition of the community's residents -- is important for a number of reasons, all of which will contribute to how land use in the community could change in the future. . For example, the age of the population can create a demand for certain services such as schools, parks, senior housing or assisted living facilities, and increased public transportation. At different points in their life residents will seek different recreation opportunities, have different expendable income levels, and desire different sizes and styles of housing. The composition of the population can lead to business development strategies such as seeking family oriented entertainment, increased day care and youth programming, or increased medical and health facilities. The age and condition of industrial, retail, and commercial buildings and the location of our business districts will impact continued investment in Mount Prospect and determine development and redevelopment prospects. Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan Page 12 CHAPTER 2: MOUNT PROSPECT - A 201M SNAPSHOf_ As the presence of Randhurst Shopping Center, Kensington Business Park, and many other commercial districts show, Mount Prospect's location, amenities, and services have proven to be attractive to the business community. This in turn leads to the availability of jobs, goods, and services for our residents, and a diverse revenue base for government services, creating an attractive quality of life which the Village seeks to preserve, protect, and enhance. DEMOGRAPHICS: POPULATION & HOUSING Population Mount Prospect experienced a 5% population growth between 1990 and 2000 and an estimated 1 % growth since then. Census Bureau data indicates a Mount Prospect population of 52,634 in 1980,53,170 in 1990, and 56,706 in 2000. Population levels are impacted by construction activity. The community grew fastest between 1950 and 1989 when 86% of the dwelling units in the Village were constructed. New home construction tapered off in the 1990's but has not stopped. TheVillage Building Division reports 346 new housing units completed between 2000 and 2006 with an additional 66 units under construction as of January 2007. These units include downtown condominium construction, in-fill town homes, and subdivision of existing single family lots. Existing homes are also undergoing expansion. With 47% of the single-family housing stock built in the ranch-style, second-story additions are not uncommon. This construction and investment produces new and expanded housing stock which could result in increased population. Details are found in the Housing and Construction Sections below.

The mobility rate has been stable with over 55% of households reported having been in their home for 5 years or more in each of the last 3 census counts. Regardless of country of birth, the ancestry of Mount Prospect residents is more diverse. Settled predominately by German and other European settlers, Mount Prospect is now one of the leading ports-of-entry for the entire Chicago metro area and home to the area's seventh largest foreign born population (Metro Chicago Immigration Fact Book, pp. 3, 10). According to the 2000 Census 26.7% (15,159 residents) of the Village are foreign born residents, an increase from the 16.2% in 1990. This compares to 17.5% of the Chicago Metro region's population. The US Census Bureau defines "foreign-born" as including that portion of the population who were not U.s. citizens at birth.

According to the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, the Chicago's rate of international immigration between 2000 and 2005 ranks in the top 5% of metropolitan regions in the nation. Across the country, the first generation foreign-born population is increasingly choosing a suburban location, rather than the central city location in which previous generations first located. Suburban Chicago has experienced dramatic growth among the foreign-born population. In 2000 the population reached an all-time high of 788,000 persons, a number that surpassed the foreign-born population in the City of Chicago for the first time. The suburban foreign born population grew by 377,000 persons in the 1990s an increase of 91.9%. Almost 33% of the foreign- born population in Mount Prospect arrived between 1995 and 2000, a higher percentage than Illinois (26%) and Cook County (25%). Of the 15,159 foreign-born in Mount Prospect, 65% have entered Mount Prospect since 1985. The percentage of homes which speak a second language other than English in their home ranges between 45% to 60% in each ofthese four census tracts. Overall, 42% of the total population of Mount Prospect is bi-Iingual and 1 0% do not speak English well or at all (Figure 2.8).

P-82 Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan Page 16 Housing With highly rated schools and park district services, an excellent location within the Chicago Metropolitan Market, and a full array of Municipal services, it is no surprise that Mount Prospect has a strong housing market. According to the US Census, the total number of housing units in Mount Prospect has increased from 19,513 units in 1980 and 20,949 units in 1990 to 22,081 units in 2000. Of the 22,081 total units in 2000, 15,483 units (70.1%) were owner- occupied and 6,235 (28.2%) were renter-occupied. Mount Prospect is among the top ten communities in the State in terms of number of rental housing units. A vacancy rate of less than six percent typically indicates a tight housing market; Mount Prospect's vacancy rates show a very tight market in both rental and owner-occupied housing. According to the 2000 census, the vacancy rate of all housing units has dropped from 3.2% in 1990 to 1.7%. Although there was an increase of 1,003 housing new housing units between 1990 and 2000, there was a decrease in the amount of rental units for the same period.

In 2002, Cook County Assessor Jim Houlihan, with Cook County Board approval, took initial steps toward alleviating the property tax burden on multi-family properties by implementing a phased-in reduction in the assessment level of multi-family rental buildings from 33% to 26%. The plan approved by the County Board will phase-in additional gradual assessment level reductions from 26% to 24% in 2006,24% to 22% in 2007, and from 22% to 20% in 2008. The Village Building Division reports 346 new housing units constructed between 2000 and 2006. An additional 66 units were under construction at the end of 2006. The new housing units include: 298 condominiums 81 townhomes 33 single-family homes Rising property values, relatively low interest rates, and an older housing stock has created favorable conditions for housing reinvestment. Housing values have increased significantly in the past several years. In 2005, Mount Prospect provided 1,761 transfer stamps for real estate transactions. Multiple Listing Service information lists the average sales price of detached single family homes as $384,252. In 2006, Mount Prospect provided 1,618 transfer stamps for real estate transactions. Multiple Listing Service information lists the average sales price of detached single family homes as $397,472. In 2006,23 new single-family homes were built. Additions were constructed on 75 homes in the Village. These residential construction projects are distributed evenly through out the single-family neighborhoods in the Village. These additions are made by owners seeking to update their homes and provide additional bedrooms and family common area space as well as expanding the size of bedrooms, kitchens, and garages. Additions often include expansion of the basement level. This phenomenon has increased the housing values and is an unforeseen difference from the previous Comprehensive Plan stating that the residential character ofthe neighborhoods would experience little change.

Department of Labor). Mount Prospect has historically lower unemployment rates than Cook County and the nation. Higher education achievement, good transportation, and availability of jobs contribute to these lower unemployment rates. The U.S. Census Bureau reports a labor force (population 16 years and over) in 2000 of 45,174. Figure 2.14 reports the type of jobs held by residents of Mount Prospect, Northwest Cook County, and in the State of Illinois, regardless of the location in which they worked. The jobs are classified through the NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) which was introduced in 2000. Previously, employment data for the country was classified by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) numbers classification. SIC classified employment by industry and NAICS classifies employment by the type of work performed. For example - under the NAICS code, an administrative assistant working for a manufacturing company would be classified under the "professional, scientific, management, administrative, and waste management services" whereas the SIC code would have classified this person under the "manufacturing" category. Due to the shift in classification, the comparison of employment from past census counts is not available.

Source: MP Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports 1998-2005, Illinois Deportment of Revenue Equalized Assessed Value (EA V) Analysis of the EAV is one method of measuring the economic health of a community. Figure 2.17 lists the total equalized assessed values (EAV) for residential, commercial, and industrial properties in the Village between 1992 and 2003. The EAV is the value of a property on which the tax rate is applied. The EAV is a percentage of the market value adjusted by a multiplier determined by the State to equalize discrepancies in assessed values throughout the State. The Cook County taxation system differs from the rest of the State because different property classifications are taxed at different percentages of value ranging from 16% for single family homes to 38% for commercial properties. Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan Page 22 CHAPTER 2: MOUNT PROSPECT - A 2006 SNAPSHOT ,~ Until the early 1990's the total value of all property in Cook County was approximately 50% or less residential properties and 50% non-residential properties. In recent years that ratio has changed as 1) residential properties have increased in value with a strong sales market, and 2) businesses have relocated to the collar counties. The Village of Mount Prospect seeks to maintain an equal proportion of residential and commercial/industrial EAV, spreading the tax burden evenly for its residents and business owners. However, as the data shows the Village's proportion of commercial and industrial EAV continues to fall. Between 1992 and 2003 the total EAV for the Village has steadily risen by 46%. Rising residential property values contributed to an increase of the residential EAV by 72.8%, while the commercial and industrial EAV increased by 18.3%. The Village's residential proportion of the Village total EAV grew by 9.3% (an increase from 52.2% to 61.4%) for this time period; commercial and industrial EAV fell by 4.5% and 4.8% respectively.

One of the principal reasons for this strategy was to attempt to equalize the burden of financing these services between single- family property owners, multi-family residents, and business property owners. Additionally, a more diverse revenue base enables the Village to maintain its financial position during periods of economic change. . Figure 2.19 illustrates the diversification of the Village's revenue base. Although property tax has consistently been one of the largest single sources of revenue forthe Village, other sources such as intergovernmental revenue (which includes sales tax) and charges for service (which includes water and sewer charges) make up large proportions of the Village revenues base further emphasizing the Village's policy of reducing its reliance on property taxes.

Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan Page 25 CHAPTER 2: MOUNT PROSPECT - A 2006 SNAPSHOT',_ TRANSPORTATION & UTILITIES Mount Prospect's location in the northwest suburbs is ideal for businesses and residents largely because of the variety of transportation modes and utilities. The following is a summary of Mount Prospect's transportation system linkages and utilities: Roadways Mount Prospect is served by many Federal Interstates and State Highways. These include 1-294, 1-290, 1-90, RT 12 (Rand Road), RT 14 (Northwest Highway), RT 45 (River Road), RT 58 (Golf Road), RT 62 (Algonquin Road), and RT 83 (Elmhurst Road). Several intersections within the Village are characterized by traffic operational problems. Intersectional problems exist where north-south major arterial streets intersect with east-west major arterial streets and where Rand Road and Northwest Highway intersect with north-south and east-west major arterial streets. The most serious problems exist at the Northwest Highway/Main Street intersection, the Rand Road/Kensington/Elmhurst Roads intersection, and at the Mount Prospect/Rand/Central Roads intersection. Although rail service in Mount Prospect is an amenity for commuters, train activity at the many at- grade crossings disrupts traffic flow on the arterial system. This is most prevalent during the morning and evening peak traffic periods when both vehicular volumes and train activity are at their highest. Since the last Comprehensive Plan was updated in 1998, the Village Public Works Department has conducted studies of the known problematic intersections to determine what level of improvements could be made without the need to demolish significant structures. These reports concluded that significant intersection improvements (as measured by time needed for turning movements) are not possible without significant investment and may create negative impacts on surrounding businesses. The Engineering Division continues to monitor and make improvements where financially feasible. In 1996 the Village Board approved an accelerated pavement improvement program that was intended to eliminate the backlog of streets needing resurfacing and reconstruction so that a 20 year resurfacing program could be established. In 2004 the program budget amounts were slightly reduced per year and the program was extended an additional 5 years to end in 2009 due to Village resources. Starting in 2010 a routine resurface program will resume with approximately 5% of the Villages streets being resurfaced each year.

O'Hare International Airport, located southeast of Mount Prospect is planning to expand its current facilities. Chicago Executive Airport continues to expand jet and private airplane traffic. Public Transit Within Mount Prospect there are nine PACE bus routes, an O'Hare and Midway Airport shuttle service, and the Metra commuter trains (Union Pacific Northwest and North Central routes). The Suburban Transit Access Route (STAR) Line is currently in the early stages of planning and could dramatically affect the way the southern half of Mount Prospect connects to the Chicago area region. The propose STAR Line would create a new commuter rail transit infrastructure between O'Hare Airport, Hoffman Estates, and Joliet. A station is planned at a site on Busse Road, immediately north of the Northwest Tollway. The line itself will be located along the Tollway, starting at O'Hare leading to Hoffman Estates, where it will then head south along the Elgin Joliet & Eastern freight rail line to Joliet. Bicycle Routes Throughout Mount Prospect there are a number of streets that are designated bike routes. Some of the streets included are Council Trail, Gregory Street, Business Center Drive, Burning Bush Lane, Willow Lane, and Robert Drive. Additionally, portions of Lincoln Street, Lonnquist Boulevard, Emerson Street, and School Street are included as designated bike routes in the Village. The Village continues to investigate methods of enhancing our bike route network to connect with surrounding communities.

Both of these deliverers draw water from Lake Michigan. Mount Prospect worked with several other communities to form JAWA and built a $ 120 million system to connect to Chicago's water supply. A system of storm sewers is constructed and maintained by the Village of Mount Prospect to accommodate stormwater drainage within the Village. Portions of the water and sewer systems still need updating and replacement. In 2006 the Village completed the second year of a multi-year commitment to rehabilitate approximately 260,000 linear feet of combined sewer mains ranging in size from 8"to 72" in diameter. The Village has hired a consultant to prepare a comprehensive final report assessing the overall condition of the existing Village water distribution system. The report will provide specific recommendations to mitigate any identified defects. Recommendations will be ranked by priority and include an engineer's estimate of costs. Recommendations will also include a water distribution system improvement plan identifying all recommended improvements, including water main replacements, pump replacements, reservoir improvements, etc., according to priority and assigned timeline. The need for storm sewer improvements in certain areas of the Village was identified by the Village staff and confirmed by a private engineering firm in 1990. The resulting study recommended 14 projects as part of a stormwater management program that would reduce the magnitude and frequency of flooding in those areas. The program was divided into two phases. All but one of the projects in Phase 1 is now complete. The only remaining project is the Hatlen Heights Relief Sewer Project. This project involves the construction of a relief storm sewer from Hatlen Avenue and Hatlen Court to Crumley Detention Basin on Busse Road. Phase 2 of the program includes bank stabilization for Weller Creek which is now complete and for McDonald Creek, which is anticipated for 2010. Additional projects that have been identified include Prospect Meadows storm sewer and ditch improvements, Village creeks tree trimming and removal, and creek stabilization projects. Levee 37, a flood control project is also underway. This project will involve construction of flood control measures along the Upper Des Plaines River at Prospect Heights and northeast Mount Prospect. Levee 37 construction started in 2006 and the project is estimated to be completed in 2009. When the construction of Levee 37 is completed in 2009, flooding will be less of an issue north of Euclid Avenue. However the Levee will have little impact on properties south of Euclid Avenue.

Prior to the act the placement of communication lines was primarily handled by utility companies, with limited supervision from local governments, since regulations were set at the state and federal levels. Now local governments can control the siting, construction, and modification of cellular, wireless, and major fiber-optic systems. Local government can also charge rents, taxes or fees for using the public rights-of-way. Other Utilities The electric delivery company in Mount Prospect is Commonwealth Edison and the gas delivery company is Nicor Gas. COMMUNITY FACILITIES Schools The quality of educational institutions has always been a major factor in the quality of life in the Village and serves a large role in economic growth and business attraction and retention. Public and semi-public land areas, including public and private schools, municipal facilities and churches are distributed throughout the Village. Most of these are in good condition and are well located to serve the community. Several schools in the Village have had recent reinvestment and expansion within the last 10 years. However, enrollment is near capacity for most public and privates schools in the Village. Enrollment projections for each school can be found in Figure 2.21. Residents of Mount Prospect are served by 7 different school districts. Mount Prospect Public School District S7 Community Consolidated School District 59 River Trails School District 26 Community Consolidated School District 21 Prospect Heights School District 23 Arlington Heights School District 25 Township High School District 214 According to the Illinois District Report Card (http://iirc.niu.edu), all 7 school districts serving Mount Prospect produced test results above the state average. Within Mount Prospectthere are eight neighborhood elementary schools, three middle schools, one high school, and one early childhood center that opened for the 2006-2007 school year. Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan Page 31 CHAPTER 2: MOUNT PROSPECT - A 2006 SNAPSHOT ~ Library Since the early 1900's the Mount Prospect Public Library has been growing. The library has been located in a number of different sites throughout the century. In the 21 st century the Mount Prospect Public Library faced space constraints and an increasing demand for audiovisual materials and internet access. In 2002 a $20.5 million library referendum was passed, enabling the Library Board and staff to design an expanded building. The expansion was completed in 2004 and today, the new Library is located at 10 S. Emerson Street, and has new amenities such as a new computer catalog and circulation system, and a larger collection. Parks and Recreation Mount Prospect is served by the following five Park Districts: Mount Prospect Park District River Trails Park District Des Plaines Park District Prospect Heights Park District Arlington Heights Park District Throughoutthe five districts there are over 550 acres of park and recreation space located within the Village of Mount Prospect. There are two indoor recreation complexes, three community centers, five outdoor pools and parks, two arts and visual arts studios, two golf courses, one driving range and miniature golf course, and a nature center in Mount Prospect.

The number of arrests and traffic moving violations has decreased over the past 5 years; this is attributed to increased enforcement and education efforts. Fire and Emergency The Mount Prospect Fire Department maintains 72 sworn firefighters, 11 civilian employees, 1 part-time civilian employee and 20 paid-on-call firefighters. Figure 2.23 shows that fire and EMS calls have maintained steady over the past five years. Although emergency service calls have maintained steady over the past five years, the fire station located at Kensington and River Roads has been subjected to frequent flooding and was determined to be functionally obsolete. A new fire station and location is desired. There is also an agreement in place with the Prospect Heights Fire Protection District and the Mount Prospect's Fire Department requiring the Mount Prospect Fire Department to have three personnel assigned to the current station to provide reciprocal service. The reciprocal arrangements include both fire and ambulance service. The new fire station would need to be placed in the northeast area of the Village to provide a shorter response time to the Randhurst Shopping Center, Kensington Business Center and multi-family residential complexes in the area of Rand Road and Euclid.

Since then, the Zoning Ordinance has been updated and amended to meet the changing conditions in the Village and the Region. The zoning of Mount Prospect will continue to be based upon the recommendations of the adopted Comprehensive Plan. It is important that provisions of the zoning ordinance be based upon this Comprehensive Plan - which is designed to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare of the Village. Today, there are 18 separate zoning districts. There are multiple districts for single- family residential, multi-family residential and commercial uses. The purposes of the different zoning districts are outlined in the Village of Mount Prospect Zoning Ordinance. Figure 2.24 lists the current composition of the zoning districts within the Village. Annexations Mount Prospect is contiguous to several unincorporated areas. An annexation can only occur when the property is contiguous to a property within Village limits. Annexations can be 1) voluntary or 2) forced if the land is less than 60 acres and wholly surrounded. Recent annexations include: The Briarwood Development located at the intersection of Linneman and Algonquin Road (27.04 acres) 531 Douglas (0.80 acres) Commercial properties located at the intersection of Rand and Camp McDonald Road (7.10 acres) 1205 E.

Goals and objectives provide this specialized guidance, transforming collective community values into implementation strategies. Implementation strategies (Chapter 5) may be action items, coordination items, and/or require further study. Goals and objectives each have a distinct and different purpose in the planning process: Goals: general aims of the community that describes desired end situations toward which planning efforts should be directed. They are broad and long-range. They represent an end to be sought, although they may never actually be fully attained. Objectives: describe more specific purposes which should be sought in order to advance toward the overall goals and ultimately the Vision of the Village. They provide more precise and measurable guidelines for planning action.

It establishes long-term targets for development in the Village, which are consistent with the community's overall goals and objectives. These recommendations seek long term economic sustainability for the community, providing a land use mix which allows the Village to continue to provide quality services. It is specific enough to guide day-to-day development decisions, yet flexible enough to allow modification and continuous refinement. The Land Use Map and descriptions contains five primary components: residential areas; commercial areas; industrial and office research areas; community facilities, parks, and open space; and a transportation thoroughfare plan. Planning recommendations for each of these components are discussed below. Implementation strategies for each area follow in Chapter 5. LAND USE The Village of Mount Prospect covers an area of approximately ten square miles located 22 miles northwest of downtown Chicago. It is bordered on the north by Prospect Heights, on the east by the Cook County Forest Preserve and Des Plaines, on the south by Des Plaines and Elk Grove Village, and on the west by Arlington Heights. The Village is bisected by several major transportation corridors: Northwest Union Pacific Railroad, which runs diagonally through the Village from a southeast to a northwest direction with a station in the downtown; Canadian National Railroad, which runs diagonally through the northeast portion of the Village with a station at our border with Prospect Heights; Northwest Highway (Route 14), which runs parallel to Northwest Union Pacific Railroad; Rand Road (Route 12), which also runs diagonally through the Village from a southeast to a northwest direction in the north half of the Village; Central Road, which runs west and east through the center of the Village; Golf Road (Route 58), Dempster Street, and Oakton Street, which run west and east through the south portion of the Village; and Illinois Route 83 which runs north and south through the center of the Village moving along these different roadways: Busse Road, Oakton Street, Elmhurst Road, Lincoln Avenue, and Main Street. Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan Page 46 CHAPTER 4: LAND USE MAP AND DESC8!fTlONS ~ Mount Prospect is an established, essentially developed community, with a healthy mix of residential, commercial, and industrial development. Since most of the community is already committed in terms of land use, the existing development pattern significantly influences the type and extent of new development which will be possible, and the extent to which redevelopment will be appropriate. This chapter serves as a guide for future land use development decisions within the Village. It identifies which lands should be utilized for residential, commercial, industrial, and public land use activities. The Land Use Map and descriptions also describe interrelationships between various land use areas, and the types of projects and improvements desirable within each area. The Map and descriptions are consistent with the Mount Prospect Vision Statement, goals and objectives (Chapter 3), and provide the overall framework for specific land use recommendations. RESIDENTIAL AREAS Mount Prospect has traditionally been a strong and desirable residential community. Existing residential neighborhoods represent one of the Village's most important assets. The Land Use Map and descriptions attempt to strengthen and reinforce existing residential areas and allow for quality new residential development in select locations. Single- Family Residential Development Single-Family detached residential development should continue to be the predominant land use within the Village. Originally single-family homes were constructed in the central portion of the Village, conforming to the basic grid pattern of streets, at an overall density of five to eight units per net acre. Newer single-family homes were developed on somewhat larger lots in the northern and western portions ofthe Village primarily at densities of three to five units per net acre with neighborhoods characterized by curvilinear street patterns. All existing single-family neighborhoods should be strengthened through a range of community facility and support service improvements, including expanded park and recreational facilities where needed. Transportation improvement projects should help reduce through traffic within certain neighborhoods, as well as improve operational conditions at problem intersections in other neighborhoods. This designation would allow for single family attached dwelling units along arterial roadways and adjacent to non-residential uses, where appropriate. Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan ( --- ---- \ ~L iii iii ,_\' ~J :: D :: ~_., l:: KlI L)- Page 47 CHAPTER 4: LAND USE MAP AND DESCRIPTIONS - Single-Family Residential Development is for areas planned for single family detached and attached dwellings with a maximum density of 10 dwelling units per acre. This single family residential development category is consistent with the R-X, R-A, R-1, and R-2 Zoning Districts of the Village Zoning Ordinance. Multi-Family Residential Development Multi-Family Residential Development is for areas planned primarily for apartment buildings and condominium complexes, with densities greater than 10 dwelling units per acre and typically three stories or higher. The design and development of new multi-family development should be carefully controlled to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses, adequate screening and buffering, and a high-quality living environment. Such multi-family residential development is consistent with the R-3, R-4, R-5, and B-5C Zoning Districts of the Village Zoning Ordinance. COMMERCIAL AREAS The Land Use Map and descriptions strive to strengthen and reinforce the role and function of existing commercial areas in the Village and promote viable new commercial development in selected locations. The Central Road Corridor Plan, Rand Road Corridor Plan, and Downtown TIF District Strategic Plan provide further specific planning recommendations for each commercial area. The Map includes three general types of commercial areas, each with different characteristics and requirements. Neighborhood Commercial Neighborhood Commercial areas contain a range of office, retail, and commercial service establishments. These areas include primarily linear developments on smaller sites. Residential areas often abut the rear of these commercial properties. Planned unit developments, including mixed use projects, should be encouraged to create a variety of uses, and to transition intensities to adjoining neighborhoods. The Neighborhood Commercial category is consistent with the B-1, B-2, B-4 and B-5 Zoning Districts of the Village Zoning Ordinance. Community Commercial Typically located in a high visibility area that offers convenient access and parking, Community Commercial areas contain a wide range of office, retail, and commercial service establishments. These areas include developments on large sites that include large-scale "big box" and "mixed- use" type developments that could include smaller scale "outlot" parcels. The Community Commercial category is consistent with the B-3 Zoning Districts of the Village Zoning Ordinance. Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan 'pPc.~.' '0~UJ tf\ I! I L) ~ Page 48 CHAPTER 4: LAND USE MAP AND DESCRIPTIONS _ Central Commercial The Central Commercial area should contain a dense, intensive land use pattern focusing on an urban style of development and architecture. Pedestrian, bicycle, and transit access should be emphasized to ensure areas are walkable. The Central Commercial areas should contain a mix of land uses ranging from retail, high-density residential, office, and institutional. Typical of a downtown environment - "mixed-use" development should include first-floor retail, dining, and commercial service establishments with above first-floor residential and office. The Central Commercial development category is consistent with the BSC Districts of the Village Zoning District. INDUSTRIAL AND OFFICE RESEARCH AREAS The Land Use Map differentiates between two basic types of industrial uses: Light Industrial and Office Research, which could include a wide range of office, warehousing, and light manufacturing uses; and General Industrial, which would include heavy industrial and manufacturing uses. Light Industrial and Office Research Light Industrial and Office Research areas are intended for uses that typically do not generate the intensity of heavy industrial land uses. It may include professional and business services, light assembly plants, warehousing, research and development facilities, and distributions centers. Industrial and office research development, as characterized by Kensington Business Center, represents a significant land use component within the Village. Several land areas in the southwestern portion of the Village have potential for similar development in the future. If carefully designed and developed, industrial and office research uses could create a strong new identity for the Village. This area is consistent with the 1-1 and O-R Zoning Districts of the Village Zoning Ordinance. General Industry General Industry areas contain intensive land uses with a strong dependence on transportation facilities such as. major roadways, rail or air. This land use typically requires significant amounts of land and can often create conditions that are generally incompatible with residential uses. Heavy manufacturing, truck terminals, construction equipment and material storage are common uses in General Industry areas. This area is consistent with the 1-1 Zoning District of the Village Zoning Ordinance. Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan F' : ""I" I_~. J r-";:;l.. . ' . I 1- , " \ i L. Page 49 .. CHAPTER 4: LAND USE MAP AND DESCRIPTIONS COMMUNITY FACILITIES, PARKS, AND OPEN SPACE Institutional Institutional uses generally include public, quasi-public, and private uses, such as governmental, educational, medical, religious, or university facilities as well as cemeteries. Public and semipublic land areas, including public and private schools, municipal facilities and churches are distributed throughout the Village. Open Space Open Space areas are intended to include all active and passive parklands, public recreation centers and golf courses when not associated with a residential development. Park and recreational areas are also scattered throughout the community. The Open Space system consists of sites, facilities, and programs which perform several important functions. The most basic function is the provision of recreational services to local residents. An effective system can also create opportunities for a wide range of leisure time experiences, help define and delineate neighborhood areas, and be an important visual feature in the community. An effective parks and recreation system is particularly important in a traditionally strong residential community like Mount Prospect. The Village also has several other public land resources. Cook County Forest Preserve land borders the Village on the northeast and is a significant visual and recreational resource available to Village residents. Additionally, there are numerous golf courses in and adjacent to the Village and several others within a short driving distance. In addition to the public recreational resources, private recreational facilities also play a key role in Mount Prospect. The Village contains numerous privately operated swimming pools, tennis courts, club rooms, and playgrounds which help supplement the public system. Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan ~'? .~~~:~,)/ .. " .. " J :: " ~ :: Page 50 -- ~ CHAPTER 4: LAND USE MAP AND DESCRIPTIONS TRANSPORT A nON The transportation system consists of various categories of streets, parking facilities, and public transit services. The overall system provides for access to Mount Prospect from the surrounding area and movement of people and vehicles within and around the Village. The efficiency and convenience of this system significantly affects the quality of life within the community. Thoroughfare Plan The major street system in Mount Prospect is well defined, but little hierarchy is apparent for other streets in the Village. A functional classification of all streets is a necessary step in identifying problem areas and prescribing improvements. Streets and related traffic control devices must all be considered as elements of an inter-related system. This approach requires that the decision to install traffic engineering measures (e.g., street closure, left turn restrictions, traffic signals, etc.) be considered in terms of their impact on adjacent streets, intersections, and neighborhoods. Without a systematic approach to this problem, the result is a mixture of traffic control devices, policies and operational practices which creates confusion, inconvenience, accidents, and a myriad of other secondary problems. The currently accepted approach to "sorting out" the complex inter- relationship between these elements is first to classify each street in the Village according to the function it should perform. Each street should fit into a category or functional classification. Decisions regarding traffic control devices and restrictive measures can then be prescribed in a relatively straightforward manner to assure that the functions are achieved. In addition, this procedure permits the identification of deficiencies in the street system and facilitates the analysis of street system needs. Four separate street classifications are identified below. The titles given to these classifications describe the orientation of traffic expected to use the streets. Major Arterial Streets: A major arterial street is intended to serve vehicle trips oriented beyond the Village boundaries and adjacent communities. The section of the street within the Village should serve a significant portion of trips generated by land uses within the Village. This type of street has regional importance because of its alignment, continuity, capacity, and its connection with other regional traffic carriers. Secondary Arterial Streets: A secondary arterial street is intended to serve vehicle trips generated by land uses within the Village and within adjacent communities. This type of street should not serve long distance trips (Le., greater than five miles) but has community importance in terms of traffic capacity and serving abutting land use. Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan ":'\-,.',r;;J 26~ t I > j/ _i".'-_~~ .';:::J Page 51 - CHAPTER 4: LAND USE MAP AND DESCR!PTIONS Collector Streets: A collector street is intended to provide for traffic movements between arterial and local streets, and direct access to abutting property. A collector street often reflects the character of the neighborhood and can provide access to abutting property while maintaining the desired level of mobility. Local Streets: All other streets within the Village could be classified as local streets. A local street is intended to serve only vehicle trips generated by land use abutting the street. The function of this type of street is providing local access within a neighborhood. One of the primary benefits derived from creating a functionally classified street system is designating"neighborhoods"inside the areas of the network of major and secondary arterial streets.lfthese streets are properly designed with adequate capacity and proper traffic control devices, the traffic in the neighborhood "cells" can be controlled to exclude through traffic. In determining the functional classification of streets within the Village, the following factors were considered: Length which the street extends continuously beyond the Village boundaries. Width of pavement. Type and density of abutting land use. Spacing relative to the prevailing grid network of streets in the surrounding communities. The functional classification of the proposed street system is presented in Figure 5.1. In general, the desired design characteristics for the streets should reflect these classifications. The major arterial streets should have the highest design standards (normally four-lane divided roadways with separate turn lanes at intersections) and should have priority in terms of traffic control over the other streets in the system. The secondary arterial streets also require high design standards and should usually have four lanes for travel. A median may be necessary on some community streets if the volume of traffic is anticipated to be significant because of the intensity of abutting development or the condition of parallel streets. Collector streets will usually provide satisfactory service as two-lane facilities unless they provide primary access to high traffic generating land uses.

Implementation strategies will vary in scope depending on the intended result. For example, an implementation strategy can be very specific, such as "plant trees and undertake other beautification projects to improve the appearance of commercial corridors" or it can be more general, such as "maintain close contact and continue to cooperate and help all local school districts to ensure that the needs of Mount Prospect students continue to be met:' The Implementation Program also prioritizes the strategies and identifies responsibility for achieving them. Type of strategies Implementation Strategies are categorized into four different types: Action: Can be acted upon to produce a result Village Board Action: Reflects a policy which must be adopted by the Village Board Special Study Needs: Additional study to determine best course of action Coordination: Requires ongoing coordination with other parties outside Village Staff Related Goals/Objectives Indicates which goals and objectives from Chapter 3 the strategy originated.
