What is assumed about the future and how accurately it is planned for depends largely on how much has been learned from the past and how astute we are in the present. Unfortun- ately , the most intensive research into the past and present will not reveal the future. The best we can strive for is a reasonable judgement based on existing data. This comprehensive plan is not a final statement for what will always be reasonable . As trends , attitudes and technology change , the comprehensive plan should also change to reflect this constant growth. If the comprehensive plan does change , then the city is alive and the citizens are aware and active . If the plan does not change , then it is either a perfect plan or no one cares . It is our sincere hope that this report is only the first step in a continuing process for the City of Yorkville . 1 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES A community should plan in accordance with a set of goals and objectives established by its citizens . These goals and ob- jectives should be realistic and attainable , as well as showing a determination to control growth . Land use objectives have social and economic implications built into them. Sound land use planning can aid in budgeting for municipal utilities and services , maintain land values and create a sense of community. Land use goals and objectives should include : 1 . Develop within the limitations and capabilities of the land. 2. Provide adequate facilities at both a neighborhood and city scale . 3. Provide a harmonious land arrangement without mixing incompatible uses . 4. Provide a distinct separation between pedestrian and vehicular traffic patterns . 5 . Provide for the reservation and acquisition of public open space . 2 LAND USE PLAN Physical Considerations In developing a Land Use Plan , two ( 2) major problems must be dealt with simultaneously : 1 . Determining what future growth will occur in which areas . 2. Coordinating this growth with existing land patterns . To help in the determination of the plan , the first limiting factor to .consider is the land itself. The two ( 2 ) soil maps ( Limitations for Septic Disposal Fields - page 4 - and Limita- tions for Urbanizing Areas - page 5 ) show areas where develop- ment can occur with minimum limitations and those areas where development must receive special attention . These areas are determined by soil borings taken in the field and analyzed by soil scientists . The composition of a particular soil de- termines its suitability for any given kind of use. Because of the large area involved and the small scale of the maps , they should be used only as indicators of potential prob- lems and not as an official index of absolute conditions . Any area with moderate or severe conditions outlined on the map should be checked again by a soil scientist to determine ex- actly the suitability for the kind of development proposed . 3 Natural physical features , such as topography , tree cover, bodies of water and flood plains , also help to determine what land could be developed and what land should be left alone. Areas that have tree cover , or severe slope , or bodies of water should be left , as much as possible, in their natural state . These landsgenerally provide excellent opportunitites for parks , recreation , and wildlife areas . The Fox River is the most obvious natural resource in the City and is probably the least used. There are no adequate access points to the river and general visibility is limited to crossing at Bridge Street. A minimum amount of effort could turn this resource into a highly desirable and usable asset for the community . The limitations and assets are shown on the Physical Features Map - page 8 . A third consideration is the network of highways and other transportation lines that serve the area . This network will help determine the intensity of use , so that traffic movement into, out of, and within the area can occur smoothly , with minimum conflicts . The highway pattern will largely determine the location of residential , commercial and industrial uses . Coordinating growth with existing land patterns is probably the most difficult part of the plan because of the community pres- sures involved . It would generally be agreed that what exists could , in some way , be improved upon - page 9 - , yet , any indica- 6 INDUSTRY :`�•. � i.i� ..�,, ••`its t: ;t• .•i tt' HIGH DENSITY :.

Coor- dination is , therefore , a delicate balance between keeping some land patterns as they are , and changing others to meet current and future needs . Residential Uses (The Land Use Plan - Page 11 - should be referred to in the following discussion of various land uses . ) Because the bulk of the growth in Yorkville will probably occur in the form of large tract development , the residential areas on the plan are shown in terms of density , rather than specific housing types. This kind of description will provide the Plan Commission and City Council the guidelines and flexibility necessary to effect a quality in development by requiring devel - opers to obtain approval on the total design concept. The areas contiguous to existing single family residences should be kept primarily in single family use since this is the land use classification most sensitive to change . Development with- in the planning jurisdictional area should be kept primarily single family with very careful consideration being given to housing types that yield higher densitites . It is recognized that medium and high density housing are 10 necessary to serve the needs of requirements of many residents . The problem, generally , is integrating these housing types with single family housing. Medium density , which would include two ( 2) family housing , can serve as a density buffer between high intensive use areas and low Density single family residences . High density residential living areas are best served near high intensity areas , such as commercial districts and business dis- tricts , and areas that are served by major traffic arteries . Office Uses At the time this report was being prepared , there was no such thing as an office district , or office complex in Yorkville . An office complex requires location on or near a major highway because of traffic demands during morning and afternoon rush hours . Depending on the type of offices , traffic generation during the day can range from moderate to heavy. Because of the scale and character of an office complex , location next to a residential area need not be undesirable . When properly handled and considered , individual office buildings may be integrated into selected areas of the community. Commercial Uses The primary objective for commercial development in the plan is to avoid " strip commercial " . By using existing commercial areas as a development core , commercial expansion should occur 12 , , 0 C D STREET nn �� lJ STRIP COMMERCIAL STREET CLUSTER COMMERCIAL 13 as a cluster around these cores . Clustering prevents the prob- lems of run-on commercial with its unlimited access to highways , limited parking , and jumbled and generally unsightly advertising . Major commercial expansion is proposed around Countryside Center and Route 34. This area provides maximum vehicular accessabil - ity with minimum intrusion and conflict to residential neigh- borhoods . The policy of clustering , however should not pre- clude carefully selected and properly restricted commercial uses from occurring in other areas . These isolated instances can greatly enhance the quality of a neighborhood . If the trend of strip commercial is allowed to continue developing , then the commercial areas along major highways should be served a sep- arate " frontage" road. Industrial Uses Industrial areas , more than any other use , require location on or near major transportation lines . The volume and general size of the vehicles involved, makes it almost mandatory for some industries to be located on these lines . For the benefit of the community , it is desirable to have as little industrial traffic as possible moving through neighborhoods . Open Space As much as possible , the plan takes advantage of existing nat- ural features and amenities and incorporates them into an Open 14 Space Plan . Waterways , tree cover and slope are features that should be maintained , as much as possible , for public use . Open space buffers should be provided between areas of conflicting use or areas of various intensity and scale . A program of con- tinuous open space should be applied to all major developments coming into the area. An open space program is a means of pro- viding pedestrian access to all parts of the city with minimum vehicular conflict . 15 s E II I 1 I . � I iF Cliff jo /� 14!
