INTRODUCTION 1.1 ROLE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Relation to Past Planning Efforts & Policy Decisions 1.2 PLAN DEVELOPMENT Steering Committee Focus Groups Community Forum Plan Commission Public Education Strategy Id 5730645 1.1 ROLE OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The Comprehensive Plan is Deerfield's road map for the future. It is also an official public document that provides a long -range guide for land use, transportation, public facilities and natural resources. It serves as a guide for elected and appointed Village officials by providing a framework that can be used to evaluate development proposals and will direct the Village's growth in the context of a 20 to 25 year planning horizon, addressing: 9 Future community improvements C Public infrastructure and facilities planning i Policy for public and private development e Zoning 0 Goals, objectives and policies Perhaps, most importantly, the Comprehensive Plan allows residents and local decision- makers to identify and respond to changing community needs and desires in a thoughtful, rather than reactive, way. In Illinois, comprehensive plans may consider the municipality and unincorporated areas within 1 -' /2 miles of its corporate limits. In August 2002, the State of Illinois enacted the Local Planning Technical Assistance Act, which has among its purposes, encouraging local governments to engage in planning, regulatory and development approaches that promote and encourage comprehensive planning, and supporting planning efforts that include one or more units of local government working together. Municipalities that adopt plans in accordance with the new guidelines may be eligible for additional preferences in funding under State economic development, transportation, planning, natural resources and agricultural programs. This Plan has been organized around the requirements of the Local Planning Technical Assistance Act, RELATION TO PAST PLANNING EFFORTS & POLICY DECISIONS Deerfield has been concerned with planning and land use within the Village since 1924. Formal planning was initiated in Deerfield in 1955 with the completion of the Village's first Comprehensive Plan. The Village adopted its first Zoning Ordinance in 1924 and Subdivision Regulations in 1957. 11 5730645 The Village Board adopted the current Comprehensive Plan for Deerfield in December 1995. Since that time it has been amended on several occasions to respond to new planning issues and development concerns. The most recent plan amendments were approved in February 2002 and addressed the Pedestrian and Bicycle Ways section of the Plan. Deerfield's articulation of land use preferences and development policies for its Possible Development Areas (PDA) which have historically been central elements of the Comprehensive Plan have allowed Deerfield to tackle difficult land use decisions and provide guidance for future community leaders. Chapter 4 of the Plan will address Deerfield's nine planning subareas that correspond to PDA's and which are areas of the Village considered to be unique because of their location, size or development potential. 1.2 PLAN DEVELOPMENT Public participation is the key to any successful comprehensive planning process and Deerfield has endeavored to involve residents and its boards and commissions in a variety of ways. From the start of the planning process, the public was involved in identifying the major issues that the Plan needed to address. The Comprehensive Plan is the product of a year -long effort that involved dozens of Deerfield residents and other interested parties. The ideas contained in this document were refined and organized to establish a cohesive planning document, which has been supplemented with maps, text and graphics to create a plan that articulates the Deerfield's goals for the future. STEERING COMMITTEE This Comprehensive Plan was developed under the auspices of a Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee that began work in June of 2002. Steering Committee members represented the interests of the Village in such areas as land use, the environment, traffic, cultural resources and education. The committee was responsible for the development of the Vision Statement and also the consideration of land use policy subareas, development and confirmation of land use goals and policies, and development 3 12 5730645 of detailed concept plans for the downtown and other planning areas. COMM UN1T'f INPUT Community y Forum Information from the state of the community report was presented to the community forum that was televised live on the local cable television station. Residents had the opportunity to ask questions and provide input into the planning process via telephone, email and in person. The issues and concerns expressed mirrored those in the focus groups. The community forum was held at Village Hall on November 20, 2002 at 7:30p.m. A letter inviting participation in the community was mailed to every property owner in the Village and all residents were invited to attend. Focus Croups In order to solicit input from a wide range of community stakeholders, six focus group sessions were conducted over a two -week period in August 2002. Focus groups were created to help committee members, consultants and staff with initial issue identification. Each session was approximately 90 minutes in length, with between 8 and 15 participants. The focus groups were organized as follows: • Tax District Representatives • Senior Citizens • Teenagers • Village Center Businesses • Lake Cook /Waukegan Businesses • Village Boards and Commissions These focus groups were used to identify issues that needed to be considered as the planning process moved forward in the development of this Comprehensive Plan. The focus group sessions helped to broaden the range of topics of concern and provided additional insights into the issues identified by the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee. There were several common themes that emerged during these focus group sessions. These are listed below in terms 4 13 5730645 of Deerfield's assets and concerns regarding the Village's future. A high level of community spirit and activism. Good access and transportation to Chicago and other destinations. An established north suburban community with a friendly and accessible feel, A superior school system and an excellent place to raise children. A strong and forward- thinking local government. Diversity of housing stock in terms of price and style. Village Center is a gathering place and is an integral part of Deerfield's identity. 0414ff� 01 1% 4 — -, There is a lack of community facilities for residents. Traffic congestion along Lake Cook and Waukegan Roads is a problem. Rising housing costs raise the issue of affordability, particularly for singles, empty- nesters and young families. Increased service expectations and enrollment can strain the school system. Not immune to problems with crime, drugs and poverty. Rising property taxes and the importance of broadening the tax base. Lack of natural open space and forest preserves. These issues, which reoccurred throughout the various public participation efforts, are addressed in the policies contained within this Comprehensive Plan. PLAN COMMISSION .Deerfield's Plan Commission is a seven - member commission appointed by the Mayor and Trustees to advise and assist the Board of Trustees in its policy decisions. They are responsible for holding public hearings and making recommendations regarding land use matters within the community, the Comprehensive Plan, annexations, special uses, subdivisions, planned unit developments, and other duties as assigned by the Board of Trustees. s"I—' 5730645 Deerfield's Municipal Code requires that the Plan Commission undertake a review of the Comprehensive Plan every two years. The intent of this review is to make sure that the Comprehensive Plan addresses changed conditions and that the objectives, policies and official Future Land Use Plan map remain an effective community planning tool, both mechanically and legally. Deerfield is not a static community. Its plan for the future must provide opportunities for periodic adjustment, as new trends and opportunities emerge, and address new challenges as they arise. Continuing to be proactive in planning for the future will help improve the chances for success in achieving Deerfield's community objectives. PUBLIC EDUCATION STRATEGY Keeping Deerfield's Comprehensive Plan current and ensuring that it maintains a central place in the community's public decision - making process is an ongoing educational process. Involving residents in the development of the Comprehensive Plan is the first step in the public education strategy. Making the Plan available to residents is the second. Teaching the Plan to our children is the third. The Village should work with the School Districts to find ways to use this Plan, not merely as a reference, but as a key document for educating the community about its past, present and future. Good planning, like a good community, is every citizen's responsibility. 2. COMMUNITY CONTEXT 2.1 REGIONAL CONTEXT 2.2 EXISTING LAND USE Village Center 2.3 POPULATION 2.4 LOCAL ECONOMY Income Employment Tax Base 2.5 NATURAL RESOURCES S730645 5730645 2.1 REGIONAL CONTEXT Deerfield is located on the border of Lake and Cook Counties in northeastern Illinois and has a population of 18,420. It is 25 miles north of Chicago and 15 miles from O'Hare International Airport. Most of Deerfield is located in Lake County, including all of its residential neighborhoods, parks and schools. The Cook County portion of Deerfield is located between Lake Cook Road and the Eden's Spur. Deerfield is projected to add more than 2,000 new residents by the year 2020 (see Table 2.1: Population Growth). Because Deerfield has few vacant development sites, few new residents are likely to be added to Deerfield's population. However, even as a fully developed community, Deerfield is still faced with the challenges of managing growth and change. The most significant opportunities for change are those few remaining areas that could be annexed, including the Baxter and Takeda Pharmaceuticals properties. Future development within Village limits will mostly take the form of redevelopment. The Village shares boundaries with Highland Park, Northbrook, Riverwoods and Bannockburn. Deerfield maintains collaborative relationships with its neighbors, and has boundary agreements in place with the Village of Northbrook, and the Village of Riverwoods concerning land .located between these communities. 2.2 EXISTING LAID USE The existing land use pattern must be considered in crafting strategies for public improvements and developing any comprehensive plan. Existing land use establishes the context for its planning jurisdiction in a variety of development issues. Figure 2.1: Existing Land Use Map shows existing land use within the Village and its planning jurisdiction. Today, Deerfield comprises approximately 3,520 acres, or about 5.5 square miles. It is comprised of a predominantly commercial Village Center, a series of single - family neighborhoods, a large office corridor along Lake Cook Road and a large regional shopping center district centered on the Lake Cook and Waukegan Road intersection. a �� EXISTING LAND USE CATEGORIES Snglefam$i Residential - Single- family residential is the largest land use category within the Village, making up 55b% of the total land use.

Another 11.7 percent is dedicated to parks and open space. Approximately 6.1 percent is dedicated to commercial uses, while nearly 11 percent is dedicated to office development. Less than one percent of the Village's land area consists of vacant, developable land. Deerfield is bisected by Waukegan and Deerfield Roads. As result, the community is divided into four "quadrants" that radiate from the Waukegan and Deerfield Road intersection. Although these quadrants are not officially named as such, they provide a sense of orientation and identification for residents and others. Each of Deerfield's four quadrants has their own distinctive character, but also share a common character that consists of mature, high quality and low- density single - family neighborhoods. All four quadrants are made up of mostly single - family neighborhoods. They also contain a number of schools, parks, places of worship, office and commercial uses. VILLAGE CENTER The Village Center serves as the focus of community life in Deerfield. It is within walking or bicycling distance of virtually all of Deerfield's neighborhoods. Keeping the Village Center strong requires coordinated land use and planning. Most of Deerfield's mixed -use development is located in and around the Village Center. This mix includes retail, institutional, multi - family housing, municipal property, open space and offices. 2.3 POPULATION The Village of Deerfield experienced significant population growth between the years of 1950 and 1970, but since 1980 the population has remained steady, with no more than an increase or decrease of 1,000 residents every ten years (see Table 2.1: Population Growth). Iq 10 5730645 As shown in Table 2.2: Age Profile of Residents, the ages of residents is evenly distributed among the age groups, with approximately 75 percent of the population distributed evenly between the ages of 5 and 64 years of age. The demographic profile is indicative of a family- oriented community.

INCOME Income data in Figure 2.2: Deerfield Household Income shows that more than 54% of households have incomes in excess of $100,000 per year. Only 18.1% of Deerfield households have incomes of less than $50,000. According to the 2000 Census, the median household income in Deerfield is $107,194. While this figure is substantially higher than the Lake County average of $67,000, Deerfield ranks below its neighbors, Northbrook, Highland Park and Riverwoods.

Most of these areas, with the exception of the Village Center, are office uses in a campus setting. These areas are accessed primarily by automobile and provide limited connections with the rest of the Village. Deerfield has far more jobs than resident workers who could fill them. Table 2.4: Jobs to Household Ratio contains a ratio of the number of jobs within a municipality divided by the total number of households within that municipality. What this ratio measures is the job- housing balance in the community. Communities with a ratio of less than one (1) are net exporters of workers, while those with a ratio over two (2) are net importers. Deerfield, with a jobs -per- household ratio of 3.0 is a net importer of workers, comparable to Northbrook. While this ratio does not determine whether people who live in a community work within that same community, it is a good indicator of Deerfield's role as an employment center. Table 2.4: Jobs to Household Ratio Source: Illinois Department of Employment Security & U.S. Census Deerfield has more than twice as many jobs as Deerfield residents who are in the work force.

At the present time, there is a distinct disincentive for building commercial or industrial developments in Cook County. However, despite this factor, the Cook County portion of the Lake Cook Road Corridor remains the centerpiece of the Village's economic base, generating significant sales tax and property tax revenues for the Village. As shown in Figure 2.4: Sales Tax Receipts, after remaining flat between 1997 and 2000, sales tax receipts began to increase in 2001. This upward trend is attributable in part to the completion of Deerfield Square and other development in the Village Center.

Quality construction, low average density, and small scale of developments in the residential areas are seen as important factors which should be preserved in older neighborhoods and created in new ones. The average family size has remained virtually the same since 1990. Non - family households in Deerfield, defined by the Census as single individuals living alone or households consisting of unrelated individuals, has decreased slightly. Deerfield clearly remains a Village of families. Table 3.1: Average Household and Family Size Source: U.S. Census 16 2� 99 ;'•, .,r " , 5 : ,.

This includes private open space, athletic clubs, parks and retention areas. Deerfield's public parks are scattered throughout the Village and provide a variety of amenities and activities for residents. Deerfield's natural areas are generally limited to floodplain and floodway areas located along the Middle Fork and the West Fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River, which forms Deerfield's eastern boundary. Much of this land is in private ownership, but is unlikely to be developed because of restrictions on building in flood prone areas. Neither the Cook County nor Lake County Forest Preserve Districts have holdings within the Village Boundaries, although both districts have property just outside the Village. is Z7 5734645 3.

The goals, objectives and policies included in this Chapter establish the guiding principles and priorities that will allow current and future community decision - makers and stakeholders to achieve Deerfield's community vision. DEERFIELD'S VISION Deerfield is a beautiful, friendly, livable and safe community where people know each other and all age groups work collaboratively with Village government. Superlative schools, municipal services and infrastructure attract new families who become long -time residents. Stable residential neighborhoods, intertwined with open space, age gracefully, providing a varied housing stock that meets the needs of an increasingly diverse population. Residential neighborhoods are intertwined with open space and provide a varied housing stock. Deerfield has a strong sense of place with economically vibrant commercial areas and gathering places for residents. The spacious suburban character and the quiet atmosphere of Deerfield's residential neighborhoods are among the community's greatest assets. Deerfield's small town character, with its residential neighborhoods, outstanding schools and mix of compatible commercial and community uses maintains strong property values. Deerfield's community vision was carefully crafted following an extensive public outreach effort and consideration of the issues and chaflenges that the Comprehensive Plan must address. The following vision statement reflects the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee's Village's Comprehensive Plan articulation of the Village's future direction that the goals, objectives and policies are designed to achieve. 20 29 5730645 3.2 FUTURE LAND USE Deerfield's pattern of land use is not expected to change significantly over the next 20 to 25 years. A comparison of Figure 3.1: Future Land Use Plan and Figure 2.1: Existing Land Use Map shows only a few instances where change is anticipated. For the most part, such change involves new development on the few remaining vacant parcels, and accommodating anticipated future expansion of parks and other public uses. FUTURE DEVELOPMENTJPEDEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT It is important to anticipate the future needs of. the Village and its residents. Periodically, the Village should review all long -range projections as well as current trends. Those reviews should be used as the basis for formulating plans for meeting anticipated needs and for reviewing development and redevelopment proposals. There are very few parcels of land within Deerfield or within Deerfield's Planning Jurisdiction that are undeveloped. Most of those parcels have previously received approval from the Village for some type of development but the development has not as yet taken place. In some cases that approved development may not be as desirable as it once was from the Village's or the property owner's viewpoint. Opportunities to consider and evaluate alternative developments for such undeveloped parcels should be undertaken with care. Proposals for the redevelopment of areas of the Village that have reached the stage in their economic lives where their redevelopment is possible should not adversely impact the surrounding areas and the Village as a whole. The Village should be continually seeking to maintain a safe, livable, and beautiful environment. As development and redevelopment proposals are presented to the Village, they should be critically evaluated. 21 �5D N N FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORIES O5nglefamily Residential - Areas that contain or are appropriate io family development Q Two4-amily Residential - Areas intended to accomodate a mac ot single-tamily and two-family development Multi- Fpmily Residential - Areas that contain townhouse developments, condominiums or other large multi -famly buildings.

Carefully consider proposals for Consider approval of development and development or redevelopment of redevelopment plans when the uses and structures development sites. proposed have been planned so that they will be suitable for the area in which they are to be located and they are not a substantial adverse impact to surrounding properties. Consider approval of development or redevelopment proposals when the Village is satisfied that parking demand and the traffic generated by the project will not cause undue burdens to surrounding properties or the Village as a whole. Direct developments and redevelopments to include pedestrian facilities. Ensure that the development or redevelopment can be adequately provided with utilities and other Village services without creating an undue burden on those utilities and services. Require that the impact of any development on the Village's schools, parks, library, fire department and the Village itself has been adequately addressed through land donations. i 23 3z 5733645 Unincorporated Areas within Deerfield's Planning Jurisdiction There are some areas that are outside the Village's corporate boundaries but are within one and one -half miles of the Village and are presently unincorporated. Some of these areas are now vacant, but most are partially developed to some degree. It is the Village's desire that these areas be developed or redeveloped consistent with those uses so designated on Figure 3.1: Future Land Use Plan. The Village of Deerfield and the Village of Northbrook have entered into a boundary agreement in order to provide for responsible and compatible land use planning for certain properties along or near Lake Cook Road and Waukegan Road. This agreement reflects the desire of each community to limit and mitigate the potential adverse impacts of the development or redevelopment of those properties. The Village also has a boundary agreement with the Village of Riverwoods that sets Saunders Road as the boundary between the two communities. There is no unincorporated land between the Village of Deerfield and the City of Highland Park. The locations and identification of these unincorporated areas that are within Deerfield's Planning Jurisdiction and that could be annexed into the Village of Deerfield are shown in Figure 3.2: Annexation Policy Plan, along with the Village's relative interest in future annexation. 24 33 5730645 influence development in those unincorporated areas within one and one -half miles of the Village limits. .:,'c Limit and mitigate the potential Encourage continued residential use of Glenbrook adverse impacts of development or Countryside Estates. redevelopment of unincorporated property within Deerfiield's planning Encourage continued residential use of the Picardy jurisdiction.

Encourage continued single- family residential use, with provision for limited institutional use of the area north of Lake Eleanor and west of Wilmot Road. ANNEXATION The annexation of lands surrounding a municipality is seen as a means to augment the tax base and control the development and use of the land. Wherever possible, the lands annexed to the Village should simultaneously be annexed to the Deerfield Park District. To further the Annexation goal, the Village is stating its desire to annex the following properties and extend the Village boundaries to those shown on Figure 3.2: Annexation Po /icy Plan if the benefits of control and tax revenue are not outweighed by the cost of service to the properties: 25 ' 5 5730645 ® The area north of Lake Eleanor. The properties located in the area bounded by Lake Cook Road, Saunders Road, Deerfield Road, and the Tollway. It is recognized that the owners of these properties may at some time desire annexation to the Village of Deerfield. The Village's interest in these properties is twofold: To control development and continued use of these properties in a manner consistent with the goals of this Plan and to augment the tax base. Seek to annex unincorporated properties only if their annexation is in the best interests of the Village and they can be adequately and conveniently supplied with services without excessive burden in cost or quality of service to the remainder of the Village. 3� iTI Augment the local tax base and Annex properties if the benefits of control and tax control the development and use of revenue are not outweighed by the cost of service land. to the properties.

The condition of the local housing stock has been considered in developing the strategies, programs, and other actions to address Deerfield's housing needs, and provide current and future residents with a range of housing options. AFFORDABLE HOUSING Given the full development of the Village and the derogation of local land use planning and zoning powers provided by the Affordable Housing Planning and Appeal Act, 310 ILCS 67/1, et seq. (the "Act "), it is determined that compliance with the Act is impractical and not in the best interests of the Village; therefore, pursuant to its home rule powers, the Affordable Housing Planning and Appeal Act, 310 ILCS 67/1, et seq., will not apply within the Village of Deerfield and shall be superseded within the Village by the Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan of the Village of Deerfield. The Village recognizes the need for affordable housing within the Village and the region in which the Village is located and will give due consideration to those needs and to the opportunity to accommodate new affordable housing options within the Village when opportunities are presented to develop or redevelop significant parcels for residential uses in the Village of Deerfield. The enforcement of federal and state fair housing laws shall be and remain a priority for the Village. c11 W O rn cui 28 ��> 7 Maintain the variety of the existing housing stock and supplement it in suitable locations with safe, well- constructed housing of a density*, scale* and character compatible with adjacent housing. * - Term defined in the Glossary. 29 5 C:) CT Cil Help maintain the desirability of Village Encourage maintenance of the existing housing neighborhoods. stock.

This effort involves identifying Deerfield's strategic competitive advantage and ways in which the Village can further its economic objectives. COORDINATION OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES Because of its location within the region, proximity to the regional transportation network and strong demographics, Deerfield has not had to actively pursue new business developments. In the future the focus will most likely be on retention of the existing businesses that are based in Deerfield, and enticement of new businesses. The Village works with the Deerfield Bannockburn Riverwoods (DBR) Chamber of Commerce, Lake County Partners and other groups to promote local hotels, community events and other economic development initiatives. The Village has used tax increment financing (TIF), industrial revenue bonds and a i sales tax sharing agreement to support revitalization efforts. VILLAGE CENTER * In certain communities an area exists that is identified by residents and non - residents alike as the "center" of that community. It may or may not be the largest commercial area in the community, but it provides retail and service businesses, and often governmental, recreational, and cultural services as well. Most importantly, however, this area serves a major social function in providing the place and the reasons for bringing people of the community together. It provides the opportunity for participation in a special "community life" independent of the business and private home life of each resident. The Village Center of Deerfield serves as a center of community life in Deerfield, and will greatly enrich the community if it is strengthened as such. Deerf ield's Village Center represents a significant asset of the Village. The economic well being of the Village Center can only be preserved and strengthened by continued maintenance, care, and redevelopment. This will require continuing investments of time, energy, and money. The responsibility for the vitality of the Village Center falls jointly to the business owners, landowners, the Village, and local residents. Through a cooperative partnership of these parties 30 cn -.J W 0 rn u7 in planning, financing and execution, the objectives for the Village Center can best be realized.

We Encourage the removal of blighted and Preserve and strengthen the commercial areas of the Village, deteriorated structures, the rehabilitation of those structures in marginal condition and the conversion of those not used to their highest potential.

Csi J W O CTN r U7 35 q q 3.5 TRANSPORTATION The purpose of this element is to consider all relevant modes of transportation as they affect Deerfield's land use pattern and community mobility. OVERVIEW OF REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION LINKS AND RESOURCES Deerfield is well located with respect to the regional transportation network. Deerfield is located between the Tri- State Tollway and the Eden's Expressway. It is served directly by Metra rail transportation and Pace suburban buses. Both the Chicago Loop and O'Hare International Airport are easily accessed via the regional highway network. TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT As development continues to occur north and west of the Village and within the Village itself, traffic along Lake Cook Road and Waukegan Road will inevitably increase. Traffic is also increasing steadily on Deerfield and Wilmot Roads, which serve Deerfield and nearby communities. It is important for both those traveling within or through Deerfield, that traffic along major thoroughfares moves smoothly and efficiently with a minimum of backup and congestion. It is equally important, however, that access to these roads and traffic through the Village be encouraged, and that movement within the Village Center and between the residential quadrants of the Village not be impeded. The lack of an interconnected street grid is one of the defining characteristics of Deerfield's transportation system. Residents must usually use one of the major arterials to get from quadrant to quadrant in Deerfield or to move between subdivisions in the same quadrant. Figure 3.6: Transportation System Plan sets forth the hierarchy of Deerfield's road network and future improvement projects.

Add left turn bays on Deerfield Road and Waukegan Road, and increase the number and capacity of the turn lanes at the Deerfield and Waukegan Road intersection, if appropriate. Improve the functioning of the Lake Cook Road - Waukegan Road intersection in accordance with good traffic engineering practices. Work with Cook County and other appropriate agencies to implement improvements to Lake Cook Road. Rebuild, when appropriate, all bridges to the design standards set by the Illinois Department of Transportation.

In addition, bicycles are non - polluting and take very little room to park. However, the routes traveled by cyclists are essentially the same as those traveled by automobiles and resulting conflicts are very inconvenient and often dangerous. Walking has increased as a pleasurable activity pursued by an increasing number of Village residents, thereby intensifying the dual use of sidewalks. The Village should encourage the dual use of the Village's sidewalks by pedestrians and cyclists by eliminating dangers and inconveniences as much as possible while protecting the rights and safety of pedestrians. Existing and proposed bicycle paths are shown in Figure 3.7: Bicycle Plan. Encourage and provide a save and convenient environment for the pedestrian and bicyclist.

Continued growth within Deerfield and those areas to the north and the west is expected to cause even greater increases in traffic. The impact for Deerfield will be greatest on Lake Cook, Waukegan, Deerfield and Wilmot Roads. Increased use of public transportation can help to alleviate some of the congestion and will, at the same time, conserve fuel and lessen air pollution. Areas set aside within the Village to accommodate commuter parking are located around the Lake Cook Road and downtown Deerfield Metra stations. The largest amount of commuter parking is located at the Lake Cook Road Station. C.n C.) c:) rn Cll 43 Strongly encourage the use of commuter rail and bus service.

Crl Cil 44 63 3.6 NATURAL RESOURCES This Comprehensive Plan element identifies and defines Deerfield's natural resources and their relationship to the developed portions of the Village. OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION Parks, woods, and other open spaces are not only desirable in terms of satisfying recreational needs, but also assist in beautifying the Village and in maintaining its appearance of spaciousness. The primary responsibility of satisfying the recreational needs and desires of the residents of Deerfield lies with the Deerfield Park District. The role of the Village government is seen as one of support, cooperation, and assistance in those situations in which the public interest is best served by the joint work of all governmental units. As noted in Figure 2.1: Existing Land Use Map, 11.7% of Deerfield's land is dedicated to open space uses. The Deerfield Park District has substantial holdings as shown in Table 3.2: Deerfield Parks. Established in 1951, the District maintains approximately 313 acres of land in 20 parks, an 18 hole golf course, and other community facilities. Figure 3.8: Parks and Open Space Plan sets forth the community's park and open space plan. Most of the proposed expansions will be done under the auspices of the Deerfield Park District. u7 w rn .9— U7 5� PARKS, SCHOOL SITES AND OPEN SPACE 1n John Blumberg Tot Lot 2] Walden School and Park 3o Cumnor Court Park 4o Jewett Park S� lCpGng School 6� Deersprimg Park 71 Trail Tree Park Briarwood ParlJBriarwood Nature Area 9� Shepard Middle School and Park 10 Keller Park 11 Pure Street Park 12 South Park School and Park 13 Wilmot School and Park QMaplewood Park 15 James C.

SUBAREAS This chapter of the Comprehensive Plan provides more detailed land use policies and guidance with respect to the parts of the Village that are most likely to change, where the Village wishes to provide direction for improvements, or where potential change would have the most dramatic impact on Deerfield's character. In Deerfield's previous comprehensive plans, such areas were known as Possible Development Areas (PDA), and generally described vacant sites that could be developed. In this document, they are called subareas, and set forth land use and development policies for improved property that may be redeveloped in the future and recommendations for improvements to the Lake Cook Road and Deerfield Road corridors. 4.1 VILLAGE CENTER SUBAREA The following goals seek to achieve the intent of the Village to maintain the Village Center* as the governmental, recreational, cultural, and visual center of Deerfield. Meet Institutional Needs. 1. Village Hall should be expanded, preferably on its current site, to meet current space needs. The northwest quadrant of the Village Center should remain as the primary institutional quadrant. 2. The Park District is encouraged to acquire residential property along Hazel Avenue in accordance with its current policy. 3. An exterior public gathering space should be developed in a suitable location. Improve Circulation. cn v 4. Ensure adequate and safe access to parking areas in the w o interior of the northeast quadrant. rn 5. Curb cuts on Deerfield and Waukegan Roads should be c.n eliminated where practical. 6. Work with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and adjacent property owners to reconfigure the Hazel, Elder, Waukegan intersections so there is one set 61 of traffic signal instead of two. Any new access road to Jewett Park from Hazel Avenue should be coordinated with plans for reconfiguring this intersection. 7. Establish a pedestrian /bikeway link between Hazel and the institutional facilities in the quadrant. 8. Create landscaped pedestrian access to parking in the Northeast Quadrant. 9. Traffic- calming techniques should be incorporated into the internal access drives serving the various Village Center quadrants. Ensure Adequate Parking. Additional parking is particularly needed in the Northwest Quadrant to meet existing and anticipated future parking demand. 10. Options include expanding the recreation center parking lot. 11. Use a portion of the former Lindemann's property for public parking. 12. Re- stripe Park Avenue for additional on- street parking. 13. No additional retail should be considered for the northwest quadrant. Any future development in the quadrant should be restricted to those uses that can demonstrate that adequate parking will be provided. Enhance Visual Character. An attractive physical environment is an important element of a successful Village Center. 14. Make Deerfield Road more pedestrian friendly by widening sidewalks on the north side of Deerfield Road. W 15. Require the elimination of unnecessary curb cuts in o the Northeast Quadrant as part of future development CTN projects. Cil 16. Existing green space at key corners should be maintained. 17. New green space elements should be developed in appropriate locations. 62 Guide Private Redevelopment, 18. The Village's redevelopment objectives include the enhancement and expansion of active retail frontage on Deerfield and Waukegan Roads and provision of opportunities for commercial /residential mixed use development in the other areas of the Village Center but not in the northwest quadrant. 19. Fagade and site improvements to existing buildings will be encouraged throughout the Village Center. 20. The Village will support efforts to improve the appearance of the SBC building through fagade improvements or redevelopment that incorporates necessary telecommunications functions and presents an attractive street frontage on Deerfield Road. 21. The Waukegan Road frontage south of Longfellow Avenue represents an opportunity for residential redevelopment. 22. The southwest corner of Waukegan Road and Osterman i� Avenue also represents a future redevelopment opportunity. The alley to the north of the cemetery should be abandoned to facilitate consolidation and redevelopment. The development pattern of the Village Center Subarea is shown in Figure 4.1 Existing.Land Use Village Center Subarea. The major guiding principles for the Village Center Subarea are shown in Figure 4.2 Village Center Subarea Plan. c.n J w 0 CrN c.n 63 q& -M V, Joir JI MOO E L77 M IF JIB mml i..U:-.

Access to individual properties and businesses is accommodated through a system of private roads, internal drives and parking lots. Private roads and access drives are likely to remain the primary circulation routes. Because of the importance of Waukegan and Lake Cook Roads to the regional transportation system, it is unlikely that new traffic signals to serve existing or future uses in the Lake Cook Waukegan District will be approved. Consequently, shared traffic signal access will be critical to the long term success of the Lake Cook /Waukegan District as traffic volumes continue to increase. Some of the development in this subarea is relatively new, representing a substantial investment and making a significant contribution to the local property and sales tax base. However, there are two areas where change is likely. Immediately north and west of the Lake Cook /Waukegan Road intersection is a mix of small -scale commercial and industrial uses that are difficult to access given the current level of traffic. The other portion of the subarea with redevelopment potential is the northeast corner of the intersection, which contains a gas station, tire store and the Cadwell's Corners shopping center. The Lake Cook Waukegan District should be encouraged to evolve in accordance with the following objectives and development policies. Un 1. Preferred Uses. Retail, service, commercial and office w uses are the preferred land uses for the Lake o Cook /Waukegan District. Existing limited industrial rn uses should be allowed to remain. cn 2. Circulation System. The Village will work with private property owners to establish a circulation system and signage program to enable shoppers and other visitors to access primary and secondary destinations and to develop shared parking facilities that are oriented to the internal circulation system. 66 3. Traffic Flow. in order to accommodate regional traffic volumes and keep Lake Cook and Waukegan Roads traffic flowing smoothly, the Village will work with Cook County and IDOT to coordinate traffic movements and undertake needed intersection improvements. The Village supports Cook County's plans to widen Lake Cook Road to three traffic lanes in each direction between Pfingsten and Waukegan Roads. 4. Improve Access. Encouraging and /or requiring cross - access easements between individual properties will help to keep unnecessary local traffic off of Lake Cook and Waukegan Roads. 5. Minimize Curb Cuts. Reducing the number of curb cuts along Lake Cook and Waukegan Roads will help to improve safety and traffic flow and should be incorporated into Cook County's improvement plans. This may necessitate consolidation and redevelopment of existing parcels and improving cross - access between existing developments. 6. High Quality Development. Recent office development in the Lake Cook /Waukegan Business District features high quality materials and attractive landscaping. Continuation of this type of development is strongly desired in order to enhance an attractive and positive community image. The Village will encourage reinvestment in or redevelopment of obsolete uses to improve the overall quality and development of the area. The Village will also work with private property owners to improve the image of the area as a regional -J shopping destination and employment center. W 0 7. Sufficient Parking. Because there are no adjacent rn areas suitable for absorbing overflow parking, each cn development proposal will be carefully considered to ensure that sufficient parking is provided. v' 67 4.3 LAKE COOK ROAD CORRIDOR LAKE COOK ROAD CORRIDOR Figure 4.4: Lake Cook Road Corridor Lake Cook Road is a designated Strategic Regional Arterial that links the Edens Expressway (I -94) and I -290 (Route 53). It carries at least two lanes of traffic in each direction through Deerfield and has the highest traffic volumes of any arterial in the Village. Traffic congestion has been identified as one of the major problems along the corridor, and one that has worsened over the past decade. Because of the number of motorists who travel the Lake Cook Road corridor each day, this corridor establishes c.tt Deerfield's identity for many. The Lake Cook /Waukegan --� w intersection, the viaduct under the Metra tracks and office o development south of Lake Cook Road and at the Lake a% Cook /Wilmot Road intersection establish the corridor as a major commercial center, but one with limited direct access U1 to Lake Cook Road. The residential neighborhoods along the corridor are oriented away from Lake Cook Road. The fences that screen these areas form blank walls that say little about Deerfield's image as a community. The land uses along the Lake Cook Road corridor are primarily office and commercial in nature. Most of the parcels along the south side of the corridor are large -scale retail or office developments that serve the region as major employment centers. These developments are set back from Lake Cook Road, allowing substantial landscaping along the Lake Cook Road frontage. 68 The Village's development policy is to reserve land south of Lake Cook Road for non - residential uses. The primary rationale for this policy is to promote a sense of community among residents through the sharing of common school districts and park district facilities. Recommendations for the Lake Cook Road corridor are primarily directed toward improving the visual image of the corridor as viewed from the automobile. Specific improvement objectives include the following: 1. Sidewalks. Work with Cook County and private property owners to ensure that sidewalks are provided along the entire length of Lake Cook Road. A priority area is the north side of Lake Cook Road from Waukegan Road to Carlisle Avenue, where they are lacking. 2. Fences. Encourage property owners to maintain fences along Lake Cook Road. 3. Utilities. Encourage the undergrounding of utilities along Lake Cook Road. 4. Gateways and Streetscape Enhancements. The Village will work with Cook County and private property owners to ensure that the appearance of the Lake Cook Road corridor continues to improve through the construction of gateway features and streetscape enhancements in strategic locations. Priority locations include: Landscaped Village gateway at the northeast corner of Lake Cook and Saunders Road, to be CJ] developed following annexation to the Village. Raised planters on the mountable Lake Cook w C) Road medians over the Toliway. Aesthetic improvements and /or landscape �- enhancement of the length of Lake Cook Road cal including the underpass at the Metra tracks. 5. Traffic Management. Work with surrounding communities, Lake and Cook Counties, the Lake Cook Traffic Management Association (TMA) and regional and state agencies to help control development along Lake Cook Road and prevent undue congestion or excessive traffic generation affecting Deerfield. 6° Encourage private efforts to reduce traffic congestion through the use of staggered work hours and other techniques. 70 Iq cn w O Ul 4.4 DEERFIELD ROAD CORRIDOR DEERFIELD ROAD CORRIDGR - -- :rsn,ue c�•rverenxa m �n ...... C .x.11 I R 41 i Figure 4.4: Deefeld Road Corridor The Deerfield Road Corridor is an integral part .of the Village's circulation system, serving as a major thoroughfare for residents and others traveling to destinations within the Village. However, Deerfield Road does not experience the same traffic volumes as Lake Cook Road, in part because the Metra viaduct creates a major constriction point that reduces traffic to one lane in each direction and cannot accommodate large trucks. Land uses along Deerfield Road vary in type and intensity. They include a mix of residential, institutional, open space and commercial development. Commercial uses found in the Village Center are focused around the Deerfield and Waukegan Road intersection. Deerfield Road is residential in 91 character with houses facing, rather than turning their backs on Deerfield Road. Residential development is found both east and west of the Village Center. Sidewalks are provided on both sides of the street and are an important consideration due to the large amount of housing along the corridor and the adjacent schools and parks. However, because of the traffic volume carried by Deerfield Road, it is not always easy for pedestrians or cars on side streets to cross Deerfield Road. Deerfield Road has also been identified as a major element of Deerfield's bike route plan. Between the Middle Fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River and Chestnut Street, the designated bike route is the 71 south side of Deerfield Road. Between Chestnut Street and the Tri -State Tollway, the bike route is located on the north side of Deerfield Road. The land use pattern along the Deerfield Road Corridor is well established and not expected to change within the time horizon of this plan. The unincorporated area located just west of the Tollway on the south side of Deerfield Road contains single - family houses and a synagogue, and has been identified as a potential future annexation area. Although Deerfield Road carries significant amounts of traffic, the physical character of the corridor is community, rather than regional, in orientation. The Village Center is oriented to local users and is not intended to attract. users from the larger region. The corridor links schools and parks and reinforces Deerfield Road's function as a community connector. Street trees and residential landscaping also help to estab!ish Deerfield's residential image. Development objectives and land use policy specific to the Deerfield Road corridor include the following. 1. Limited Use. The existing development scale and community orientation should be maintained. New commercial development should be limited to locations west of the Tollway and on appropriate sites within the Village Center. 2. Low Traffic Impact. Uses that generate substantial amounts of traffic should be discouraged. 3. Traffic Flow. Review the potential for installing left turn lanes at intersections between Wilmot Road and Chestnut. 4. Pedestrian Crossings. Study potential opportunities for improved pedestrian crossing of Deerfield Road and wider and safer pedestrian access along Deerfield Road including the acquisition of additional right -of- way along Deerfield Road and the Briarwood Country Club. 5. Utilities. Encourage the undergrounding of utilities along Deerfield Road. 72 1� -..! C.) 0 C71 C17 6. Bicycle Paths. The Village will work to install dual function sidewalks, if separate bicycle paths are not possible. 7. Landscape Enhancements. Encourage maintenance of the line of heavy shrubbery and trees along the south side of Deerfield Road from just east of Kipling Place to Brierhill Road, and the north side of Deerfield Road. Encourage landscape and gateway enhancements along Deerfield Road. cn v CA) 0 M Z_ cn 73 �2 4.5 NORTH WAU KEOAN ROAD GATEWAY Figure 4.5: North Waukegan Road Gateway This subarea is the small commercial node located at the northern edge of the Village bounded by Waukegan Road and the railroad right -of -way.

Limited Uses. Commercial, office or industrial use of any portion of this property is not recommended. Residential use of the property is strongly preferred due to the nature of the site, its location among several residential areas and the low impact that residential development would have on Waukegan and Deerfield Roads.

This is particularly true with respect to the lines of trees and shrubbery along Waukegan and Deerfield Roads, which have a high aesthetic value for the entire / 76 community and also effectively buffer the interior areas of this property from the noise, pollution, and visual effects of those roads. 4. Circulation. Access should be provided to both Waukegan Road and Deerfield Road. Efforts should be made to provide as many connections as possible to adjacent residential developments in this quadrant of the Village including pedestrian and bicycle path connections, where appropriate. 5. Sidewalks and Bikeways. The existing sidewalk along the northern boundary of this property is narrow. There is little or no separation for pedestrians from vehicles on one side and the often over -grown bushes on the other. This makes conditions very difficult for bicyclists who are not permitted on Deerfield Road. There is no sidewalk at all along the Waukegan Road frontage. Regardless of whether or not the Briarwood Country Club property is ever redeveloped, the Village should endeavor to secure sufficient additional right - of -way to allow the installation of sidewalks of appropriate widths along Deerfield and Waukegan Roads. 6.

Access to Lake Cook Road and Wilmot Road from individual properties will be prohibited except in those situations where there is no other way to access a particular property. Cll 0 C7� CT1 4.8 SOUTH OF LAKE COOK ROAD TTTUTIONAL Figure 4.8: South of Lake Cook Road The Village has two major concerns regarding the land south of Lake Cook Road. First is the strong desire to control the plan for access to the properties and the volume and time of day that traffic is generated on Lake Cook Road. Second, and equally important, is the desire to have well - landscaped, low- impact development in this area, in order to buffer and protect the residential areas to the north and for its aesthetic value to the entire community. Specifically, the following objectives have been established cn for this area to supplement other applicable v recommendations included in the Comprehensive Plan. W 0 1. Limited Uses. The location of this property between a M regional arterial and an expressway, bounded by a -7 stormwater management facility and the Tollway, Cn limits its development potential to those uses compatible with such physical barriers. These would include the following: Corporate offices Institutional uses ® Professional offices Light industrial uses so 2. Undesirable Uses. The Village strongly desires to contain and strengthen the existing business districts and to prevent strip commercial development from occurring along Lake Cook Road. To protect the residential uses to the north, commercial or retail uses are not recommended. Traditional residential uses are not recommended because of the location of this area between two very heavily traveled routes. In addition, the residents of this area would be effectively isolated from the rest of the Village by Lake Cook Road and by the fact that they would be served by Northbrook schools, the Northbrook park and fire protection districts, and all Cook County agencies. 3. Low Traffic Impact. Traffic projections for Lake Cook Road indicate that it will become one of the most heavily traveled routes in the northern suburbs. By limiting the total number of vehicles going to and from the area and also by regulating the time of day such traffic occurs, the Village will strive to improve conditions within the Village boundaries and beyond. 4. Sufficient Parkinq. Because there are no adjacent areas suitable for absorbing overflow parking, each development proposal will be carefully considered to ensure that sufficient parking is provided. 5. High Quality Development. Existing development in the Village's outlying non - residential areas is characterized by the moderate scale of the buildings, the high quality of the design and the materials used, the large amount of open space, and the generous and attractive landscaping. Maintenance and continuation CIt of this type of development is strongly desired. .� O cn 81 qu 4.9 LASALLE AND SURROUNDING PARCELS t LASALLE AND SURRGIiNDING PARCELS - -_ F'" cuwsw..wcttiwarx nau t,AAt 1::.0) Figure 4.9: LaSalle and Surrounding Parcels Although this property, located immediately south of Lake Cook Road and west of the Tri -State Tollway, has been annexed by Northbrook, its development continues to be of concern to the Village. The Village of Northbrook and the Village of Deerfield adopted a boundary agreement in 1995, which outlines certain development options for this area. The property's location adjacent to the Tollway exist and entrance ramps and the limited access opportunities make it imperative that the development of the area be carefully controlled so as to minimize potentially adverse impacts. cn J This property has been annexed to Northbrook and is being w developed with a three -story extended stay hotel, three o condominium buildings and a restaurant. This development is Q' consistent with the boundary agreement between Deerfield to and Northbrook, as amended. In the event that the property does not fully develop in Northbrook, the Village of Deerfield will make such efforts as may be necessary to ensure that the properties develop in a manner consistent with the following objectives. 1. Planned Unit Development Preferred. Use of the planned development concept as set out in the Deerfield Zoning Ordinance is strongly preferred. 82 2. Preferred Land Uses. The development and /or redevelopment of parcels within this area should be restricted to residential uses, institutional facilities (including nursing homes and senior citizen housing), low density office uses, research facilities, warehousing, hotel and restaurant developments, .as contemplated by the boundary agreement. 3. Preferred Accessory Uses. Any accessory uses permitted should be limited by the following: a. Only those uses that are subordinate and accessory to, and are in common ownership or control with, a principal use. b. Such uses may include without limitation, associated retail and restaurant uses. c. Such uses may not utilize more than ten percent (10 %) of the gross floor area occupied by the principal use. 4. Undesirable Uses. Commercial uses are not recommended because of the area's location on a very heavily traveled road and the Tollway entrance and exit ramps. The volume of traffic and the number of complex traffic problems in the immediate area make it imperative that the properties should not be developed with uses that generate large amounts of traffic. Because traffic volumes are high throughout the day, even those uses which have peak traffic generation times which fall before or after the peak traffic periods on Lake Cook Road must be reviewed carefully. Only those uses which can demonstrate acceptable levels of traffic impacts should be permitted. Because these properties are located adjacent to a residential area, those uses which have large amounts of truck traffic associated with their operation should be avoided. 5. Sufficient Parking. Because there are no adjacent areas available for absorbing overflow parking, any proposal must be reviewed very carefully to ensure the provision of sufficient on -site parking. 6. High Ouality Development. The existing development both within the Village and the area in general is characterized by the high quality of the design and the materials used, the large amount of open space, and the generous and attractive landscaping. Maintenance 83 t.� 0 rn .97- Cil and continuation of developments with these qualities are strongly desired for their high aesthetic value and their compatibility with the residential area adjacent to the properties. 7. Low Impact Development. The development should be of low density. The design and planning of the development should be consistent with the nature of the site and the adjacent residential areas. The development of the properties should be consistent with the most restrictive of the Village of Deerfield Zoning Ordinance provisions and the Village of Northbrook's Zoning Ordinance provisions governing the various aspects of the proposed development. S. Special Access Considerations. Access to the adjacent residential area should be prohibited. Access to the properties should be limited to a single frontage road which would serve all of the properties. If signalization of the access is deemed appropriate, any such signal should be interconnected with the other traffic signals along Lake Cook Road. 9. Utilities. All utilities should be required to be located underground. Any use of well water should be closely monitored. The treatment of sanitary sewage should be in accordance with the same standards applicable to Northbrook and Deerfield. In no event should any system be approved which may fail in the future or cause any adverse impacts, including odors, on the adjacent areas, the Village of Northbrook or the Village of Deerfield. Appropriate storm water control measures should be followed, including during the construction period. Any storm water detention or retention facilities developed on the site should be constructed so that they become an amenity and not an eyesore. 10. Open Space. Areas of permanent, useable open space should be incorporated into any development planned for these properties. This is particularly important since ingress and egress to these properties will be difficult, thereby making open areas available on -site for tenants, residents and employees essential. Attractive landscaped entries should be provided. The generous setback from Lake Cook Road that has been 84 rn w c=) M cn established for other developments should be continued. 11. Signs. From the time that Lake Cook Road established itself as one of the premier development corridors in the six county metropolitan area around Chicago, the Village has been extremely concerned about the quantity and quality of the signs employed by the various developments. No signs should be approved for any development which do not compare favorably with the existing signs on Lake Cook Road in the Village of Deerfield. Extremely tall pylon signs or billboards intended to be visible up and down the Tollway and Lake .Cook Road must not be permitted. Signs must not create traffic hazards, be unduly distracting to motorists or cause any impact on the adjacent residential area. 12. Li hg tina. Because of the proximity of these parcels to. a residential area, any lighting proposed for use in the parking lots or for highlighting the buildings, must be subdued and constructed and operated to ensure no impact on the residential area.

LOCAL PLANNING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ACT In August 2002, the State of Illinois enacted the Local Planning Technical Assistance Act, which has among its purposes, encouraging local governments to engage in planning, regulatory and development approaches that promote and encourage comprehensive planning, and supporting planning efforts that include one or more units of local government working together. Municipalities that have adopted plans in accordance with the new guidelines may be eligible for additional preferences in funding under State economic development, transportation, planning, natural resource and agricultural programs. The following table lists the required plan elements and is provided to serve as a checklist for completion of Deerfield's Comprehensive Plan.
