Home My WebLink About6. NEW BUSINESS 06/05/2007 Village of Mount Prospect Community Development Department Mount Prospect TO: MICHAEL E. JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER ~ MEMORANDUM FROM: DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DATE: JUNE 1, 2007 SUBJECT: PZ-09-07 - CONDITIONAL USE (COMMUNITY CENTER WITH A SCHOO 501 MIDWAY DRIVE NIAGARA EDUCATIONAL SERVICES, INC. - APPLICANT The Planning & Zoning Commission transmits their recommendation to approve Case PZ-09-07, a request to operate a Community Center and school in the B3 District, as described in detail in the attached staff report. The Planning & Zoning Commission heard the request at their April 26, 2007 meeting. The Petitioner obtained a Conditional Use permit in 2004 to operate a Community Center. However, the improvements were not completed and the Conditional Use permit expired. The Petitioner has expanded the scope of the project to include a school in the northern portion of the building, but the Community Center would generally be the same as the proposal approved in 2004, by Ord. 5414. The Community Center contains a hybrid of uses, most of which are typically found in a commercial district. However, the school is a college prep school, offering classes for students in grades Pre-K through Sth grade, and would be located in a commercial zoning district. The Village's Comprehensive Plan classifies the Subject Property as commercial, so the request fails to meet the Conditional Use standards contained in Section 14.203.F.S of the Zoning Ordinance because the use does not comply with the Village's Comprehensive Plan. Therefore, Staff recommended the request be denied. The Planning & Zoning Commission discussed the request and noted that this type of school fits well at this location because the building is set far back from the main street, which is conducive for a designation-type use. There was discussion regarding the parking lot and water detention, and the Petitioner confirmed site and landscaping improvements required per Ord. 5414 would be completed. The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve the Conditional Use permit to operate a Community Center with a school at 501 Midway Drive, Case No. PZ-09-07, subject to the following conditions: · The project shall be completed in general compliance with plans prepared by DLK Civic Design date stamped April 3, 2007; · All work shall be completed within IS months, including site work and landscaping noted in Ord. 5414; · Fire and Building comments regarding the fire lane and egress noted in the Staff Report shall be met; · Enrollment numbers shall be submitted to the Director of Community Development each school year; and PZ-09-07 June 1,2007 Page 2 . The facilities shall be developed in compliance with all Village and State regulations. Please forward this memorandum and attachments to the Village Board for their review and consideration at their June 5,2007 meeting. Staffwill be present to answer any questions related to this matter. W~~1~ William J. ooney, Jr., Iep H:IPLANlPlanning &; Zoning COMM\P&Z 2OO7\MEJ MemosIPZ-09.o7 MEJ MEMO (SOl Midway Dr. CU .

PZ-09-07 Hearing Date: April 26, 2007 PROPERTY ADDRESS: 501 Midway Drive PETITIONER: Niagara Foundation PUBLICATION DATE: April 11, 2007 PIN NUMBERS: 08-23-402-010 REQUEST: Conditional Use - Community Center with a school MEMBERS PRESENT: Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Joseph Donnelly Leo Floros Marlys Haaland Ronald Roberts Richard Rogers ST AFF MEMBERS PRESENT: Judith Connolly, Senior Planner Ellen Divita, Deputy Director of Community Development INTERESTED PARTIES: Serkan Aikan, Stephen Miller Chairperson Arlene Juracek called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. Richard Rogers moved to approve the minutes of the March 22, 2007 and April 12, 2007 meetings and Joseph Donnelly seconded the motion. The minutes were approved 6-0 with Mary McCabe abstaining. After hearing two previous cases, Chairperson Juracek introduced Case PZ-09-07, a request for a Conditional Use at 501 Midway Drive, at 9:23 p.m. She stated this case was heard approximately four years ago, however the project was not completed and the Conditional Use permit expired. Judy Connolly, Senior Planner, stated that the Subject Property is located on Midway Drive, a cul-de-sac street on the west side of Elmhurst Road, between Algonquin Road and Oakton Street. The Subject Property contains an existing one-story office/warehouse building with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned B3 Community Shopping and is bordered to the north and east by the B3 District, and to the south and west by the R4 Multi-Family Residential District. Ms. Connolly said the Petitioner obtained a Conditional Use permit in 2004 to operate a Community Center. However, the improvements were not completed and the Conditional Use permit expired. Since obtaining the Conditional Use permit, the Petitioner has expanded the scope of the project to include a school in the northern portion of the building formerly occupied by db Sound. The Petitioner is required to obtain approval from the Village Board for a new Conditional Use permit for a Community Center and school. Ms. Connolly stated that the Petitioner proposes the Community Center offer the same services and events in the originally approved Conditional Use permit for a Community Center including guest rooms, conference rooms, a gymnasium, a stage, assembly areas, and 3 classrooms. The proposed Community Center would occupy 70% of the building while the proposed school would occupy 30% of the building and include 12 classrooms, 4 labs, and a gym. Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting April 26, 2007 PZ-09-07 Page 2 Ms. Connolly said the existing structure does not meet current setback requirements and the site exceeds 75% lot coverage, which is the maximum amount permitted. The Petitioner does not propose to modify the building footprint and the site will retain its legal non-conforming classification. Ms. Connolly stated that the Petitioner agrees to completing landscaping improvements to the site as previously required by Ordinance 5414. Ms. Connolly said the Petitioner's plan indicates the site will provide a total of 217 parking spaces. She said Section 14.2224 of the Zoning Ordinance lists the minimum number of parking spaces required based on how the space will be used. In this case, calculating each use separately, the Petitioner is required to provide 164 parking spaces for the Community Center and 46 spaces for the school. Staff has concerns that a parking deficiency may occur if the scope of services and school enrollment exceed the levels noted in the Petitioner's application. Therefore, the Petitioner offered to submit enrollment lists to the Director of Community Development to document compliance with the Village's parking regulations. Ms. Connolly stated that the Petitioner proposes to make minor modifications to the exterior of the building. Improvements include adding additional exits as required by Village Codes, installing a new canopy over the front entrance, and installing new windows. The Petitioner is required to improve the interior of the building as required by Building and Fire Codes. A complete egress, building, and fire code review would be required at time of permit. Ms. Connolly said the Fire Department reviewed the project and requires one side of Midway Drive as well as the bulb of the cul-de-sac be designated as 'No Parking Fire Lane' and striped per Village Code regulations. In addition, the northern drive will also be a Fire Lane as shown on the attached exhibit. She said Public Works reviewed the project and noted that the previously required site improvements (sanitary service, paving, etc.) were still required. Ms. Connolly stated that the Building and Fire Codes specifically state that in determining design occupant load and means of egress requirements, the number of occupants for whom the means of egress in the facilities must be established is by the largest number computed in accordance with maximum floor area allowance per occupant as outlined by building code. This evaluation of the petition is not a complete building and fire plan compliance review as it relates to egress, occupant load, travel distance, fire-rating, separation or non-separation of mixed uses, common path of travel, accessibility, type of construction required, and allowed areas of construction. She said according to the Building Code, where a building contains two or more occupancies and where they share portions of the same means of egress system, those egress components shall meet the more stringent requirements of all occupancies that are shared. This petition review of use does not release the applicant, petitioner, design professionals, or contractors from specifying, designing, and constructing the project to adhere to all applicable building and fire codes that applicable at the local, state, and federal level. These comments and minor review do not constitute a complete review of the drawings and they are not approved at this time. A complete egress, Building, and Fire code review will be required for compliance with the Village's adopted Codes. Ms. Connolly said the standards for Conditional Uses are listed in the Zoning Ordinance and include seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Conditional Use. She summarized these findings as: . . The Conditional Use will not have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare; . The Conditional Use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other properties in the vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties; . Adequate provision of utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on Village streets; and . Compliance of the Conditional Use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and other Village Ordinances. Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting April 26, 2007 PZ-09-07 Page 3 Ms. Connolly stated that the Subject Property is zoned for commercial use; however, the Zoning Ordinance lists Community Centers as a Conditional Use in the B3 District. The Petitioner is not changing the footprint of the building and proposes minor exterior improvements. Ms. Connolly said the proposed Community Center contains a hybrid of uses, most of which are typically found in a commercial district: performance area, offices, guest rooms/hotel, and exercise facilities. However, the proposed school is a college prep school, offering classes for students in grades Pre-K through 8th grade. The school would operate from 7:30am to 6:30pm, which includes after/before school care. Ms. Connolly stated that the Petitioner submitted infonnation that reflects a quality school, however it would be located in a commercial zoning district. The Village Code pennits schools in limited circumstances in almost all residential zoning districts. In addition, the Village's Comprehensive Plan classifies the Subject Property as commercial. Ms. Connolly said the proposed Community Center with a school fails to meet the Conditional Use standards contained in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Zoning Ordinance because the use does not comply with the Village's Comprehensive Plan. She said based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission deny the following recommendation: "To approve a Conditional Use permit that would allow a 42,614 square foot Community Center and a 18,454 square foot school to operate as noted in the Petitioner's application for the property at 501 Midway Drive, Case Number PZ-09-07." Ms. Connolly stated that the Village Board's decision is final for this case. Chairperson Juracek asked if the Petitioner acquired the additional 18,000 square feet since the original Community Center request was heard; Ms. Connolly confinned that is correct. Richard Rogers stated that the Staff report indicates the improvements were not completed and the permit expired for the Community Center. He asked for clarification on that issue. Ms. Connolly stated that the Village Code requires work for the Conditional Use Pennit to be completed within 18 months and the scope of those improvements was not completed. Mr. Rogers asked if the landscaping was completed. Ms. Connolly stated that the landscaping was not completed, and it was required as part of the Conditional Use. Leo Floros asked if the space was being used for offices. Ms. Connolly stated that she believes there is currently limited office use at the location. Chairperson Juracek swore in Serkan Aikan, Vice-President of the Niagara Foundation, and Stephen Miller of DLK Civic Design. Mr. Aikan stated that the project was approved 4 years ago, but funds were not available to complete the project. He stated that the Foundation now has the funding to complete the project and that is why they have brought the Case back to the Commission. He also said the Foundation has a school in Chicago and many of the students reside in the Northwest Suburbs, so there is a demand for them to construct the school in the suburban area. He stated that the Foundation owns the building and is asking the Village for the opportunity to open their school in Mount Prospect. He said they would meet whatever requirements are necessary to open the school as an accessory use. Chairperson Juracek asked if the Foundation is now applying for the entire project including the office space, the Community Center, and the school. Mr. Aikan stated that is correct. Chairperson Juracek asked if absent this Conditional Use, the Foundation would not be able to move forward with the project. Ms. Connolly stated that the office space would be a pennitted use, but the Community Center and the school would not be allowed. Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting April 26, 2007 PZ-09-07 Page 4 Chairperson Juracek pointed out that the school is the new addition to the request, which Mr. Aikan confirmed. There was general discussion regarding the original request including the office space and Community Center and that the new request now includes the school as an accessory use. Chairperson Juracek stated that this application is for approval of the entire project. Ronald Roberts stated that the packets did not contain any information regarding allowing the Community Center, not the school as an accessory use. Ms. Connolly stated that the Petitioner may not have realized the Conditional Use for the Community Center expired and only included information for the school as an Accessory Use. Mr. Rogers asked why the Petitioner never completed the landscaping. Mr. Aikan stated that there was no specific reason the landscaping was not completed, just that entire project was not completed and they want to finish the project all together. Mr. Rogers asked what the time frame is for completing the entire project. Mr. Aikan said I Y2 to 2 years. Chairperson Juracek asked if they have the funding to complete the project. Mr. Aikan confirmed the Foundation has the funds to complete the project. Mr. Rogers stated that the Conditional Use would expire in 18 months and the Petitioner would need to have the work completed. Chairperson Juracek pointed out that the school does not have to be open and in session in 18 months, but that the work on the project would need to be completed. The Petitioner stated that it should not be a problem to complete the work in that time frame. Ronald Roberts asked if they are essentially moving the existing school operations from the city of Chicago to the Mount Prospect location. Mr. Aikan confirmed that is true. Mr. Roberts asked how many students they anticipate at the Mount Prospect location. Mr. Aikan said there are approximately 75 students in Chicago and they would like to have 120-130 students. Mr. Roberts asked if the not-for-profit Foundation raises their money from tuition and how much that tuition is. Mr. Aikan stated that the tuition is currently $5500 per year and if they had 120 students enrolled, the school would fund itself. He stated that the Community Center is funded by their members. Mr. Roberts asked ifthe school runs year-round; Mr. Aikan confirmed the school does run all year. Mr. Miller stated that there were Staff concerns with the available parking. He said the parking will be sufficient because the school use and the Community Center would not be holding events concurrently. Mr. Rogers asked what the ages of the students are. Mr. Aikan said the school is for Kindergarten through 8th grade. Mr. Rogers pointed out that not many cars would be left at the site during the day. Mr. Miller said the parking requirements are to meet the code. There was general discussion regarding transporting the students. Chairperson Juracek stated that this type of school fits well at this location because the building is set far back from the main street, which is conducive for a designation-type use. Mr. Floros asked if there is a playground for the students. Mr. Aikan stated there is not a playground, but there are several areas inside the school for recreation. There was general discussion regarding the offerings ofthe school. Mr. Aikan highlighted some of the awards the school has earned. Chairperson Juracek said this would be an asset to the Village and Mr. Roberts concurred. Marlys Haaland stated she was concerned with the traffic counts on Route 83. She asked if there was going to be any lights added to the intersection. Mr. Miller said there is a dedicated turn lane off of Route 83 onto Midway Drive. Mr. Miller pointed out that the building is set back in the cul-de-sac and the students would not be near the traffic, even while waiting for their rides. Mr. Roberts stated he supports this type of project in the commercial area. He asked if they have planned for traffic flows for student drop-off and pick-up. Mr. Miller said this is a very safe area and the required fire lane Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting April 26, 2007 PZ-09-07 Page 5 provides easy access to both sides of the parking lots. There was general discussion regarding parking. Mr. Roberts asked if there had been any consideration to adding a playground. Mr. Miller said they may not be able to give up the parking spaces, but as much green-space as possible has been maintained in the project. There was additional discussion regarding the parking lots and water detention. Mr. Rogers stated that his only concern is the Petitioner getting the project completed within 18 months. Mr. Miller stated that the construction itself would not take longer than 18 months, but he said at this point the design is not complete and that requires additional time. Chairperson Juracek asked if the project needs to be complete, or substantially underway in 18 months. Ms. Connolly stated that the project has to be substantially underway within 12 months and completed within 18 months. Mr. Miller asked if there is a way to have a Conditional Use that goes beyond the 18 months. Ms. Connolly stated that a previous case was extended with a Variation, asking for relief from that Code requirement. Mr. Miller said they can work within the 18 month requirement. Mr. Aikan said the project is currently ready to move forward, unlike the last time, and he will work with the 18 month time range. Mr. Rogers pointed out that the time constraint begins at the time of Village Board approval. Mr. Roberts stated that in the past, the Commission has given the OK for a project to move forward and then come back to present the final plans. Ms. Connolly stated that the Petitioner is seeking final approval and the Commission needs to make a recommendation to the Village Board. Mr. Roberts said there are items missing from the packet that would need to be reviewed for the project. Chairperson Juracek stated that many of these items are not for Planning and Zoning consideration and would be reviewed at the time of permit. Mr. Rogers stated that the site is running out of room and may be over-parked. He said if the Petitioner decides to add a playground, they would lose additional parking spaces. Ms. Connolly said the proposed use includes two significant gymnasiums, an auditorium, and over-night guest rooms. All of these uses have specific parking requirements and the code needs to account for maximum usage. Chairperson Juracek stated that the Commission should leave it up to the Petitioner whether or not to provide an outdoor play area. There was general discussion regarding playground and parking usage. Mr. Roberts stated that the site is over 75% lot coverage and that adding a playground or green-space would get them closer to that 75% lot coverage. Chairperson Juracek pointed out that the lot coverage is an existing condition and the Petitioner is not obligated to reduce the lot coverage. There were no additional questions and Chairperson Juracek closed the public hearing at 9:58 p.m. Leo Floros made a motion to approve Case Number PZ-09-07; a Conditional Use request to operate a Community Center including a school at 501 Midway Drive. Ms. Connolly stated that if the Commission moves forward with this recommendation, Staff suggests adding the following conditions for approval: . The project be completed in general compliance with all submitted plans; . All work be completed within 18 months, including sitework and landscaping; . Fire and Building comments regarding the fire lane and egress shall be met; . Enrollment numbers are submitted to the Director of Community Development each school year; and . Developed in compliance with all Village and State regulations. Chairperson Juracek stated that these conditions are fairly standard. Ms. Connolly said one primary concern is the egress. Leo Floros asked if they can approve a time line greater than 18 months. Chairperson Juracek stated it may be redundant to include the 18 month time limit, since it appears in the Village Code. Ms. Connolly said at a minimum the site work and landscaping would be required to be completed with the rest of the project. Mr. Rogers said the landscape and site work requirement should be a condition of approval. Mr. Floros amended his motion for approval to include the conditions of approval. Marlys Haaland seconded the amended motion. Arlene Juracek, Chairperson Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting April 26, 2007 PZ-09-07 Page 6 UPON ROLL CALL: A YES: Donnelly, Floros, Haaland, Roberts, Rogers, McCabe, Juracek NAYS: None Motion was approved 7-0. After hearing two additional cases and discussing the Zoning Ordinance update, Richard Rogers made a motion to adjourn at 10:48 p.m., seconded by Joseph Donnelly.

BACKGROUND A public hearing has been scheduled for the April 26, 2007 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting to review the application by Niagara Educational Services, Inc. (the "Petitioner") regarding the property located at 501 Midway Drive (the "Subject Property"). The Petitioner is seeking Conditional Use approval for a Community Center and school. The P&Z hearing was properly noticed in the April 11, 2007 edition of the Journal Topics Newspaper. In addition, Staff has completed the required written notice to property owners within 250-feet and posted a Public Hearing sign on the Subject Property. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION The Subject Property is located on Midway Drive, a cul-de-sac street on the west side of Elmhurst Road, between Algonquin Road and Oakton Street. The Subject Property contains an existing one-story office/warehouse building with related improvements. The Subject Property is zoned B3 Community Shopping and is bordered to the north and east by the B3 District, and to the south and west by the R4 Multi-Family Residential District. SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL The Petitioner obtained a Conditional Use permit in 2004 to operate a Community Center. However, the improvements were not completed and the Conditional Use permit expired. Since obtaining the Conditional Use permit, the Petitioner has expanded the scope of the project to include a school in the northern portion of the building formerly occupied by db Sound. The Petitioner is required to obtain approval from the Village Board for a new Conditional Use permit for a Community Center and school. The Petitioner proposes the Community Center offer the same services and events in the originally approved Conditional Use permit for a Community Center: guest rooms, conference rooms, a gymnasium, a stage, assembly areas, and 3 classrooms. The proposed Community Center would occupy 70% ofthe building while the proposed school would occupy 30% of the building and include 12 classrooms, 4 labs, and a gym. PZ-09-07 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting April 26, 2007 Page 3 GENERAL ZONING COMPLIANCE The existing structure does not meet current setback requirements and the site exceeds 75% lot coverage, which is the maximum amount permitted. The Petitioner does not propose to modify the building footprint and the site will retain its legal non-conforming classification. Landscaping - The Petitioner continues to agree to improve the site as previously required by Ord. 5414. Parking - The Petitioner's plan indicates the site will provide a total of 217 parking spaces. Sec. 14.2224 of the Zoning Ordinance lists the minimum number of parking spaces required based on how the space will be used. In this case, calculating each use separately, the Petitioner is required to provide 164 parking spaces for the Community Center and 46 spaces for the school (see attached chart). Staff has concerns that a parking deficiency may occur if the scope of services and school enrollment exceed the levels noted in the Petitioner's application. Therefore, the Petitioner offered to submit enrollment lists to the Director of Community Development to document compliance with the Village's parking regulations. Existing Building - The Petitioner proposes to make minor modifications to the exterior of the building. Improvements include adding additional exits as required by Village Codes, installing a new canopy over the front entrance, and installing new windows. The Petitioner is required to improve the interior of the building as required by Building and Fire Codes. A complete egress, building, and fire code review would be required at time of permit. ADDITIONAL STAFF COMMENTS · The Fire Department reviewed the project and requires one side of Midway Drive as well as the bulb of the cul-de-sac be designated as 'No Parking Fire Lane' and striped per Village Code regulations. In addition, the northern drive will also be a Fire Lane as shown on the attached exhibit. · Public Works reviewed the project and noted that the previously required site improvements (sanitary service, paving, etc.) were still required. · Building and Fire Codes specifically state that in determining design occupant load and means of egress requirements, the number of occupants for whom the means of egress in the facilities must be established is by the largest number computed in accordance with maximum floor area allowance per occupant as outlined by building code. This evaluation of the petition is not a complete building and fire plan compliance review as it relates to egress, occupant load, travel distance, fire-rating, separation or non-separation of mixed uses, common path of travel, accessibility, type of construction required, and allowed areas of construction. According to the Building Code, where a building contains two or more occupancies and where they share portions of the same means of egress system, those egress components shall meet the more stringent requirements of all occupancies that are shared. This petition review of use does not release the applicant, petitioner, design professionals, or contractors from specifying, designing, and constructing the project to adhere to all applicable building and fire codes that applicable at the local, state, and federal level. These comments and minor review do not constitute a complete review of the drawings and they are not approved at this time. A complete egress, Building, and Fire code review will be required for compliance with the Village's adopted Codes. CONDITIONAL USE STANDARDS The standards for Conditional Uses are listed in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Village Zoning Ordinance and include seven specific findings that must be made in order to approve a Conditional Use. The following list is a summary of these findings: PZ-09-07 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting April 26, 2007 Page 4 · The Conditional Use will not have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare; · The Conditional Use will not be injurious to the use, enjoyment, or value of other properties in the vicinity or impede the orderly development of those properties; · Adequate provision of utilities, drainage, and design of access and egress to minimize congestion on Village streets; and · Compliance of the Conditional Use with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Code, and other Village Ordinances. The Subject Property is zoned for commercial use; however, the Zoning Ordinance lists Community Centers as a Conditional Use in the B3 District. The Petitioner is not changing the footprint of the building and proposes minor exterior improvements. The proposed Community Center contains a hybrid of uses, most of which are typically found in a commercial district: performance area, offices, guest rooms/hotel, and exercise facilities. However, the proposed school is a college prep school, offering classes for students in grades Pre-K through 8th grade. The school would operate from 7:30am to 6:30pm, which includes after/before school care. The Petitioner submitted information that reflects a quality school, however it would be located in a commercial zoning district. The Village Code permits schools in limited circumstances in almost all residential zoning districts. In addition, the Village's Comprehensive Plan classifies the Subject Property as commercial. RECOMMENDATION The proposed Community Center with a school fails to meet the Conditional Use standards contained in Section 14.203.F.8 of the Zoning Ordinance because the use does not comply with the Village's Comprehensive Plan. Based on these findings, Staff recommends that the Planning & Zoning Commission deny the following recommendation: "To approve a Conditional Use permit that would allow a 42,614 sq. ft. Community Center and a 18,454 sq. ft. school to operate as noted in the Petitioner's application for the property at 501 Midway Drive, PZ-09-07." The Village Board's decision is final for this case.

CU - community cultural ctr with school).doc Dear Judy, In our school we will have elementary and high school. In the changed plan the kitchen has moved to the first floor of existing building as we indicated on the plan and assembly area will host 225 people total for some programs. We will have dinner and small conference programs in the assemble area as it indicated on the plan. Students' lunch will be either catered from the kitchen of cultural center or brought by students from their home and they will have their lunch in the gym area. Tables will be set up to the gym area for the lunch and will be removed after lunch time for the class. Weare expecting to have around 150 students in the new school. I also wanted to give you some brief information about our school and what we will have in the new school when we moved to the planned building. We will continue same education when we move to the planned building. Science Academy of Chicago (SAC) Science Academy of Chicago is a Pre K - 8 college preparatory elementary school. {The school will extend its grades to high school levels gradually.) SAC was established and designed to stimulate interest in mathematics, science and technology by providing instruction from an exceptional faculty in a small and nurturing environment. Our goal at SAC is to fully prepare students to carry the torch of knowledge from generation to generation. SAC offers small class sizes, and a I: I 0 teacher-student ratio which enables us to provide the kind of attention and support that we believe is vital for learning in the classroom. This size aids in creating a family-like atmosphere in which teachers, student and parents can come together with a consistency and commitment that is beneficial to the child's educational and personal development. Parents also have the advantage of monitoring the progress oftheir child via the internet. On our database parents have access to their child's records, daily homework assignments, grades, and faculty e-mails. We know that beyond a great school, families also need to consider the cost. This is why at SAC we offer affordable tuition that includes so much. In an effort to support working families and busy lives we offer both before and after school care. In addition, students also engage in after school clubs and activities, study teams, sports teams, field trips, science fairs and competitions. In the primary grades (Pre K-2) students have a homeroom teacher who works hard to instill the love of learning in their students. These teachers work with diligence, skill and creativeness in order to provide the most nurturing and mentally stimulating environments possible. Beginning in the third grade students' progress into a new area of development in which more responsibilities are required. Students change teachers/classrooms throughout the day. These teachers possess a mastery of their subjects and use innovative methods and tools in order to cultivate and inspire the minds of our students. In addition to our distinctive curriculum we also offer advanced study teams which engage selected student in a deeper exploration of mathematics and science. Such students participate in competitions on the state, national and intemationallevels. Beyond the awards and recognition gained from competing, these events also generate an excitement and passion towards the pursuit of wisdom. Guided and supported by faculty members and steeped in the knowledge oftheir subjects, our students are becoming well renowned for their academic achievements. SAC stresses that students who want to go to the best colleges need extra exposure to academics and teamwork. As part of the preparation for the coming math and science competitions, the students in our 6th and 8th grade Advanced Study Teams attended Math and Science Camp for one week at SAC during the winter break.

This is a significant event that our students look forward to throughout the year. SAC students are required to participate in the fair and neighboring private middle schools are invited to attend. Judges for the fair come to us from many universities and professions. Here are some of their comments: "The students were uniformly excited by their projects and delighted with their educational experience at SAC." Mel Shochet- Professor of Physics, Enrico Fermi Institute, University of Chicago "Also, the students are 'real' kids -they are excited about what they are doing, but have not been pushed into a stereotypical 'nerd' mindset -so these should be excellent citizens, whether or not they eventually pursue science as a career." Paul Nolan - Professor of Physics, Northeastern University "I think that you have one of the best science oriented schools I have seen. I really enjoyed the experience and wished that my daughter could have gone to your school." Sui Huang, MD.PhD. - Asst. Professor, Dpt. of Cell and Molecular Biology, Northwestern University Medical School ACHIEVMENTS In the 2004-2005, SAC competed in the Illinois Mathematics League Competition at 6th Grade level, Science Academy of Chicago placed 4th school among 212 schools participated in Illinois.

Every classroom is equipped with a personal computer for a teacher, where teachers have access to the internet and our online grading system. Classrooms are equipped with overhead projectors and digital LCD projectors for maximum efficiency in class instruction. Teachers take their students to the computer lab during regular class hours. Every grade level has 1 hour of Computer Math (C-Math) classes in the computer lab, where students are solving questions on computers using different websites provided by the teacher (for more details refer to Math curriculum page). All other subjects do also use computer laboratory for different activities. Computer Laboratory SAC has a state of art computer laboratory with the latest Pentium 4 computers. We have enough computers so that every computer is used by 1 student only. We have a Windows server in the lab and every student has his/her own account, through only which he/she can access computers in the lab. Students are also able to access any computer in the whole school using their own account. We have also "NetSupport School Pro" software installed, which enables us to monitor & control student computers and block unwanted software and websites. Our high speed DSL Internet connection provides students with fast Internet access to do all their work. To filter internet we use We-Blocker software, that is filtering and blocking inappropriate websites automatically. SAC-Tech club This is a club which is open to all students of SAC who have passion for computers and technology. 4-8 grade students are accepted. Students learn advanced topics in computers.

Please clarify what steps you/your organization have in place to ensure the building will not exceed the limit noted in the application. We would like to list couple statements: - We will limit the enrollment number to maximum 168 students. - We will submit enrolment list to the Village of Mount Prospect every school year for him t confirm the number of students and teachers. - We would provide a narrative documentation to your attention that states no more than the number of students that the Village code requires will attend the school. Comment 2 It is in the attachment. Comment 3 We are aware of the situation. Whenever you needed detailed plans we will make it ready for your attention. Comment 4 Thanks for informing us.

JANONIS, VILLAGE MANAGER DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FROM: DATE: JUNE 1ST, 2007 SUBJECT: 2007 COMPREHENSNE PLAN UPDATE After a comprehensive planning process with public input, the Planning & Zoning Commission transmitted their recommendation for the Village Board to approve the attached Update to the Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map. The Planning & Zoning Commission considered the document at an April 12, 2007 Public Hearing. The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 7-0 to recommend that the Village Board adopt the update of the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Map. Staff presented an overview of the Update at the May 8, 2007 Committee of the Whole Meeting, which included a summary of the following chapters of the Plan and Map. Key changes from the previous plan which were summarized include: 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. 2007 Comprehensive Plan Update June 5th, 2007 Village Board Meeting Page 2 · 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. Single Family residential includes both detached and attached single family housing with the densities defined by the zoning ordinance in the R-X, R-A, R-l, and R-2 districts. Early drafts of the revised plan listed this category as 10 or less units per acre. Pending a zoning code revision in 2007, an exact density number is removed and language now simply refers to the bulk regulations of these districts as found in the zoning ordinance. 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 Randhurst 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 category was created for the Downtown, named "Central Commercial." 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 depth sufficient for outlots, or adjacent to such. Finally, it is noted that the Transportation section of the Plan will need to be updated upon completion of work already underway by the Village Public Works Department. The Village Thoroughfare Plan including classification of arterial, secondary arterial and collector streets is currently under review by the Public Works Department. The list currently on page 53, represents the Plan's recommendation of how the street system in the Village should be classified, which includes 1) streets that are currently classified by the Village Code, and 2) Staffs recommendations for the classification of additional streets, resulting from the neighborhood traffic studies that have already been completed. When all neighborhood traffic studies are completed, Staff will bring forward an overall update to the Plan's street classification list and Land Use Map (pg. 54). 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. 2007 Comprehensive Plan Update June 5th, 2007 Village Board Meeting Page 3 Appendix In the appendix additional demographic information that was found in the tables of Chapter 2 are further compared with the Village's neighbors. Large scale maps of the Land Use, community facilities, and public transportation maps will also be included 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. RECOMMENDATION 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 June 5, 2007 Village Board Meeting. Staffwill be present to answer any questions related to this matter. ~tl Village of Mount Prospect COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Housing and Residential Areas Economic Development ifransportation and nfrastructure Community Facilities, Parks, and Open Space Adopted June 5, 2007 (Ordinance No. XXXX) Published Month XX, 2007 Prepared by the Community Development Department Village of Mount Prospect 50 South Emerson Street Mount Prospect, IL 60056 847 -392-6000 www.mountprospect.org ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Community Development Department would like to extend a special thanks to the School Districts, Park Districts, Townships, Mount Prospect Library, Economic Development Commission, Chamber of Commerce, Mount Prospect Downtown Merchant's Association, key business and commercial property owners, and residents who participated in the 2007 Update Process.

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:' '\.w VUlage 01 Ma,,' "a'peel Camp,ehe",;ve Plao Page 5 ..'- ".'f.. . CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 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 i~_ 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: Housing and Residential Areas Economic Development ransportation and Infrastructure Community Facilities, Parks, and Open Space It is the Village's intention to comply with the elements identified in the recently approved Illinois Local Planning Technical Assistance Act (Public Act 92-0768, See. 5) through these four areas. 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. \'f/ Vnlage of Moo" "a'pect Comp'ehe"'"e Plac 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. Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan . -.. :.. ..1. . ~-_.._- --~f:-. . ~ " , _.- . ::.::::--~...- ~~ aa:::.::z: ~~1 i,~ 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 "_. '.?

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 3006 SNAPSH~~ 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. The Village 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 townhomes, 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. Foreign-born people are those who indicated they were either a U.s. citizen by naturalization or they were not a citizen of the United States.

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 of these 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).

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.

Table H-36 Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan Page 17 CHAPTER 2: MOUNT PROSPECT - A 2006 SNAPSHOT ..... The number of rental units available in Cook County has also been diminishing due to the escalating costs to operate them and increased condominium conversions. 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. \'f/ Vllloge 01 MO""I Pm,peel Comp,ehem;,e Ploe Page 18 CHAPTER 2: MOUNT PROSPECT - A-2006 SNAPSH~~ Construction The Building Division tracks building permits as the permits are released.

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.

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. WffiI * VUlage af Maeo' Pm'peel Camp..heo,'"e Pia" Page 22 CHAPTER 2: MOUNT PROSPECT - A 2006 SNAPSH~ 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.

Office of the County Cieri< Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan Page 23 CHAPTER 2: MOUNT PROSPECT - A 2006 SNAPSHOT ";"_ Village of Mount Prospect Sales Tax and Revenue Sources In recent years, the Village Board has made a conscious effort to diversify the Village's revenue base as a means of reducing its reliance on property taxes to finance Village services. 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 for the 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.

"o'pee! Comp,ehe",;.e Plan Page 25 CHAPTER 2: MOUNT PROSPECT - A 2Q,06 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 connectto 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. I I I I I 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. Village of Mount Prospect Comprehensive Plan Page 30 CHAPTER 2: MOUNT PROSPECT - A 2006 SNAPSH_ Telecommunications The Telecommunications Act of 1996 changed the way municipalities and states deal with the provision of telecommunications. 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 57 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 Prospect there are eight neighborhood elementary schools, three middle schools, one high school, and one early childhood center that opened for the 2006-2007 school year. ~ 'fiJ Vnlage af Ma"of Pm'pecf Comp'ehe"l"e Plao Page 31 CHAPTER 2: MOUNT PROSPECT - A 20.06 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 RiverTrails Park District Des Plaines Park District Prospect Heights Park District Arlington Heights Park District Throughout the 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.

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. WfjJ ~ V;Uage of Maoo' ',mpect Camp'ehe,,;'e Plae Page 46 - CHAPTER 4: LAND USE MAP AND DESCRIPTlONS_ 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 of the 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. YfiI Vmage of Moon! "a,peel Camp,"he",l,e Plan , . 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 appropriate densities that are defined by the zoning ordinance for single-family districts. 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 appropriate densities that are defined by the zoning ordinance for multi-family districts, and are 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 8-5 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 .-.-----;~ 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. ~iiif VUlage 0' Mo""' Pm,pect Comp,ehe,,'.e Ploo ~~ r-;;c::-c- -- l~!'

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.

I ~ -~_.::.~ 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 Page 51 CHAPTER 4: LAND USE MAP AND DES~RIPTIONS .. 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. If these 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. ~ -m VII'ogo 01 Moonl P'o'poel Complehon,;.o Plan Page 52 CHAPTER 4: LAND USE MAP AND I2ESCRIPTlONS ~ Figure 5.1: Functional Classification of Area Streets Classification Major Arterial: Street Algonquin Road Central Road Des Plaines/River Road Elmhurst Road/Main Street Euclid Avenue Golf Road Northwest Highway Oakton Street Rand Road Wolf Road Secondary Arterial: Busse Road Camp McDonald Road Dempster Street Kensington Road Mount Prospect Road Collector: Burning Bush lane (from Seminole lane to Kensington Road) Business Center Drive Busse Avenue (from Main Street to Owen Street) Cardinal lane (from Eric Avenue to Westgate Road) Council Trail Elmhurst Avenue (from Central Road to Kensington Road) (from Prospect Avenue to Lincoln Street) Emerson Street (from Golf Road to Central Road) Fairview Avenue Feehanville Drive Gregory Street Highland Street Huntington Commons Drive (from Elmhurst Road to Linneman Road) Lincoln Street (from Meier Road to Elmhurst Avenue) Linneman Road lonnquist Boulevard (west of Emerson) Meier Road (from Golf Road to Lincoln Street) Owen Street Prospect Avenue (from Central Road to Mount Prospect Road) Shoen beck Road (from Rand Road to Camp McDonald Road) See-Gwun Avenue (from Golf Road to Lincoln Street) Seminole lane We-Go Trail (from Lincoln Street to Central Road) Westgate Road Wheeling Road William Street (from Golf Road to Prospect Avenue) Willow lane "f.
