Title
Proposed Action to Update Lake County Future Land Use Map to be Consistent with Central Lake Thruway Unified Vision
Staff Summary
• The County Board adopted a County-wide Future Land Use Map as a part of the Framework Plan in 2004. It provided guidance to all interested parties of the desired land use in the future.
• In November the County Board pass a resolution supporting the new Central Lake Thruway Unified Vision that included future land use along the corridor of the new route of Route 120. The corridor extends from Waukegan to Volo.
• The Lake County Future Land Use Map needs updating to be consistent with the Unified Vision Corridor Plan. In addition, staff recommends that the map along and near the corridor be updated as it relates to Forest Preserve acquisitions, the future land use agreement for the Central Range, and to acknowledge new current land uses within the corridor.
• Staff will provide maps of the corridor to illustrate the discrepancies with the Future Land Use Map at the committee meeting. The Committee is asked to direct Staff to start the update of the Future Land Use map in and around the Central Lake Thruway.
