Introduction

DRAFT For Review

Source: Google Earth Pro The Village of Buffalo Grove is a thriving community in the Chicagoland region. Its nationally-recognized school system and a wide variety of amenities elevate the quality of life of families and professionals living in Buffalo Grove. This is partly due to the Village’s undertaking multiple planning efforts in the past to explore its challenges and create solutions to capitalize on its opportunities. To further enhance its success and coordinate the recommendations from past plans, the Village has embarked on a 18-month process to update its 2009 Comprehensive Plan. The Village’s character ranges from residential neighborhoods to regional-serving commercial and industrial districts. The Village is also within proximity to forest preserves and other recreational amenities. Pockets of unincorporated Lake County properties present opportunities for annexation. This report details the Village’s existing conditions and provides a foundation for future recommendations.

The Purpose of the Existing Conditions Report The Existing Conditions Report for the Village of Buffalo Grove Comprehensive Plan compiles data and information gathered during the first phase of the comprehensive planning process. The consultant team has conducted a series of outreach events to understand the Village’s dynamics. This report reflects the many perspectives and opinions of Buffalo Grove residents, business owners, leaders, and other stakeholders on the issues and opportunities in the Village. The data and input inform future policy recommendations on land use, housing, transportation, community facilities, parks, natural resources, economic development, corridor development, and urban design.

Community Profile

DRAFT For Review

Community History Since the 1840s, Buffalo Grove was a dairy farming community, supplying fresh dairy products to the Chicago area. Many of the early settlers, mainly Roman Catholics, donated money and/or land to build the Saint Mary church in 1852. Although arsonists destoryed the church a few years after the it was constructed, the church was rebuilt in 1899. Saint Mary church remains an important landmark in the community and help define Buffalo Grove’s skyline. In the early 1900s, the railroad lines connecting Chicago and Buffalo Grove were already established. Many farmers at that time either took their milk to the J.B. Weidner’s cheese factory or the train station at Prairie View or Wheeling to transport their milk to Chicago. These train stations eventually became the present-day Metra stations on Metra’s North Central Service (NCS) line, transporting commuters between the Chicago, Buffalo Grove, and the Chicagoland region. In the early 1950s, Buffalo Grove experienced significant growth as many farmers sold their land to developers who built residential subdivisions. Young families who moved in were returning from World War II and relied on Veterans Affairs loans to secure housing. This rapid growth and need for governance of shared utilities and other services led to Buffalo Grove’s incorporation in 1958. Buffalo Grove continued to experience significant growth through the second half of the 20th Century. Buffalo Grove’s demographics and market landscape have changed dramatically over the last 10 years. Looking forward, it will be important to respond to resident needs for community amenities and housing to enable aging-in-place and to accommodate diverse individuals and families. In addition to residential growth, Buffalo Growth also experienced strong growth in its business community and industrial areas. The Buffalo Grove Commerce Center was developed in 1981 with approximately 50 acres of land at Lake-Cook Road and the Soo Line railroad tracks. This area continued to expand east, west, and north throughout the mid-1980s and 1990s. With a strong concentration of research/light industrial establishments, it is critical to ensure older building stock can remain to adapt to the changing markets and business needs. A success story is the renovation of the J.B. Weidner’s cheese factory into a contemporary office building.

As Buffalo Grove continues to grow, it has expanded its business environment to accommodate research and light industrial uses. The Village now have a substantial research, innovation, and advanced manufacturing hub with major enterprises present, including Siemens and Flex LTD. The Village also has been proactive in streamlining its application processes to become a more business-friendly community. Over the past ten years, the Village has seen a substantial increase in Asian population, making the Village a more diverse community. The strong diversity and talents present in Buffalo Grove also contributed to the Village having a well-regarded parks and school system, making the Village a safe place to live and a great place to own a business and raise a family.

Proximity to Transit

Diverse Population

The Buffalo Grove and Prairie View Metra stations serve the Village of Buffalo Grove and provide community residents alternative means to travel to the City of Chicago and other parts of the Chicagoland region via Metra’s North Central Service (NCS) line. Buffalo Grove is the busiest station and Prairie View is the second busiest station, in terms of boarding, of all stations on the NCS line. Although a considerable amount of land surrounding the Prairie View Metra Station is currently unincorporated, the Village has proactively planned a longterm development vision for transit-oriented development in this area. Multi-story mixed-use development is planned within proximity to the Prairie View Metra Station and is complemented by townhomes and closely spaced single-family detached homes. The vision also includes residential development on the Stancliff Property including empty lots southwest of Half Day Rd and Prairie Rd. Both feature generous green space for stormwater mitigation and provide space for recreation.

The Buffalo Grove community is an ethnically diverse community. The first residents of Buffalo Grove were German settlers. In the 1970s, there was a large influx of Jewish families that moved into the Village. The Jewish community helped construct six synagogues in the Village by the early 1990s and is comprised 30% of the Village’s population by 2000. Asians and Asian-Americans began moving into Buffalo Grove after the 2000s. The Asian population currently makes up approximately 20% of the Village’s population. This is significantly higher than that in other suburban communities in the Chicagoland region. The Village is also experiencing an increase in the Hispanic/Latino population. These trends are projected to continue.

The Buffalo Grove Metra Station is conveniently located between residential neighborhoods and the Village’s research/light industrial hub. It has ample capacity for park-and-ride facilities for commuters and the adjacent employment base.

Education Buffalo Grove’s population is generally well-educated. More than half of its population have attained a college (Bachelor’s) degree or higher. The share of college-educated adults is more than twice the national, state, and CMAP Region’s (Cook, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, and Will County) averages but is consistent with that of other affluent suburban communities in the northern Chicagoland region. This trend is beneficial to the Village because college-graduates tend to have a higher level of employment and associated salaries. Additionally, many of the Village’s largest industries, such as educational and professional services, and finance and insurance, typically require college-level degrees as a prerequisite of its employees.

Race/Ethnicity Although the majority of Buffalo Groveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents are white, the Village has a comparatively large Asian population (approximately 7%) it is projected to increase by 2024. This trend is different than in Lake County, where Asians comprise approximately 7% of its total population. This suggests that a greater proportion of Asians have chosen to live in Buffalo Grove than in other Lake County communities. Given current and projected trends, it is likely that the share of White population in Buffalo Grove will continue to decline, while the share of Black and other ethnicities are projected to remain stable. Additionally, the share of the Hispanic/Latino population has increased from 4.9% in 2000 to 5.5% in 2019 and ESRI projects this will increase to 6.9% by 2024. It should be noted that this percentage is significantly lower than the share of Hispanics/ Latinos in Lake County, which is at approximately 21% in 2017. Overall, Buffalo Groveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population is considered to be ethnically diverse and will continue to be so.

Age Buffalo Groveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population is aging and has a higher median age than that of Cook, Lake County and the nation. The age cohort chart illustrates that the Village is projected to have a relatively large population of senior citizens in about 20-30 years, given that the highest proportion of Buffalo Grove residents are currently aged between 30 and 44 years old. This can also be seen in Buffalo Groveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s increasing share of senior citizens (65+ years old) since 2010, which is higher than in Cook County, Lake County, and the nation. Enabling residents to successfully age-in-place should be a goal of the comprehensive.

Housing Most of Buffalo Grove’s housing stock is single family detached. Generally, Buffalo Grove has a lower percentage of multi-family buildings than the regional average. Only buildings with 20 or more units exceed regional, state and national averages. However, there are a relatively low number of total units of this type in the Village. In 2018, there were 2,500 permits issued for residential and commercial development. This is below average for the region. A significant portion of Buffalo Grove’s housing stock was built between 1970 and 1999. After 2000, new housing construction in Buffalo Grove significantly declined. While Buffalo Grove, to some degree, offers a variety of housing types, most of these units were built about twenty years ago. These housing types may no longer reflect demands from prospective homeowners and younger professionals and may require additional renovations or maintenance for their preservation. It should be noted that in recent years there have been more contemporary residential developments coming into the Village that positively contribute to the Village’s housing diversity. One of them is Links Crossing, which accommodates about 200 units of modern homes and townhomes. Lastly, Buffalo Grove has significantly lower vacant residential properties than the CMAP Region, state, and national averages. This suggests that the Village remains an attractive place for families and professionals to live and work.

Almost half of Buffalo Groveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing stock is listed between $300,000 and $499,999. This has the potential to create barriers for segments of the population that have less than average household incomes or fixed incomes and for seniors who have desire to stay in Buffalo Grove and downsize their living space. Younger professionals who wish to move to Buffalo Grove may be challenged to find affordable housing as well. The high share of relatively unattainable housing stock creates more competition for affordable housing and may deter younger professionals moving into Buffalo Grove because of limited choice.

Regional Position Population Growth While Buffalo Groveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population growth fails to keep pace with the growth of the US, it is comparable to the State of Illinois and several other mature suburbs north of Chicago. Suburbs such as Vernon Hills and Deerfield have sufficient land to sustain continued residential growth; Buffalo Grove will likely need to increase its density to accommodate population growth.

Housing Affordability When the housing affordability ratio rises above 3.0, housing becomes increasingly difficult to afford. Based on the ratio of median home values to median household incomes, Buffalo Groveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing stock is affordable for those living in Buffalo Grove but not necessarily affordable for those living in other communities. Other suburbs with affordability ratios exceeding 4.0, such as Lincolnshire, Highland Park and Northbrook, are beginning to see affordability challenges.

Past Plans & Reports The Village of Buffalo has a number of adopted policies and plans that provide the framework and strategic guidance for the development in the Village. The Village’s policies and plans have been reviewed and assessed to understand critical goals, recommendations, and regulations that should be considered in the development of the Comprehensive Plan. The following are summaries of previous plans and studies the consultant team has reviewed:

Village of Buffalo Grove Bike Plan (2014)

Economic Development Strategic Plan (2016)

Key Findings

•• Provided an overview of different types of on- and off-road bicycle facilities to strengthen the Village’s bicycle network.

•• This Plan was created to define strengths, weaknesses, and ideas for the future. These recommendations were intended to provide policy direction to the Village related to fiscally responsible decision making. These elements were organized into the Plan’s major themes of economic growth, land use and development, and quality of life.

•• Created recommendations for the Village’s bicycle network, including recommendations to fill sidewalk gaps, expand existing trails right-of-way, improve crosswalks, install trail signage, and wayfinding signage for the network.

•• The key goals of the Plan included: ◦◦ Maintain and grow Buffalo Grove’s businesses and employment base.

•• Suggested changes to the Village’s road standards and development ordinances to encourage future development prioritizing bikeways.

◦◦ Sustain and grow the Village’s economic base through new, redeveloped, and improved commercial development.

•• Provided a list of resources to Village for investment in education, enforcement, and to encourage increased cycling in the Village.

◦◦ Maintain and enhance services and amenities including housing and accessibility.

Successes •• This plan provided a framework for the location and types of bicycle improvements that are desired. The Village has had some success in implementing the Plan’s recommendations, especially with the creation of additional on- and off-road bicycle facilities. Implementation continues as annexation and redevelopment occur.

•• The Plan identified specific action items and a timeframe to complete each of the goals as identified in the implementation matrix.

Successes •• The Village has implemented many of this Plan’s recommendations and maintains its reputation as a business-friendly community in the Chicagoland region.

Annexation Strategy and Plan (2016)

Buffalo Grove 2018-2023 Strategic Plan (2017)

Key Findings

•• The Village of Buffalo Grove has several hundred acres of unincorporated land distributed throughout the Village. This report identified opportunities and methods of annexation as well as recommendations for future development.

•• The Village of Buffalo Grove updated its 2013-18 Strategic Plan with the 2018-2023 Strategic Plan to help the Village be more effective and adapt to the changing internal environment of the organization. Five strategic planning priorities were developed to guide the future actions of the Village. These priorities include:

•• 14 distinct areas were identified and analyzed in detail to better understand the appropriate annexation method. These recommendations were incorporated in the report.

◦◦ Service optimization. Enhance internal and external processes. ◦◦ Financial stability. Maintain a positive financial position with a long-term, comprehensive strategy.

Successes •• This planning document has enabled the Village to have a clear vision for potential future land uses and development for the identified areas, should they be annexed into the Village.

◦◦ Collaboration. Engage and empower community stakeholders and Village staff. ◦◦ Economic development. Enhance the quality of life in the community and create a positive business environment. ◦◦ Infrastructure sustainability. Plan for future infrastructure needs in the community •• Goals and objectives for each priority were developed along with the identification of responsible departments, budgets, and the timeline for implementation. •• This plan recommended that the Village develop a set of new planning documents, such as new visions for the Village’s subareas, and update of existing plans, which included the Village’s Comprehensive Plan.

Lake-Cook Road Corridor Market Study and Plan (2018)

Prairie View Metra Station Area Plan (2019)

Key Findings

•• The Plan created a future-focused vision for the LakeCook Road Corridor, which is an important revenue generator for the Village, but faces the challenge of changing resident need and market demands.

•• This plan provided a long-term vision for annexation and redevelopment in unincorporated Lake County parcels, including the 40-acre Stancliff Property, around the Prairie View Metra Station. If these properties were to be annexed, they would be within Buffalo Grove’s jurisdiction per a boundary agreement between Buffalo Grove and Lincolnshire.

•• This vision identified three areas for development, redevelopment, reinvestment, and inclusion of a mix of land uses. The three areas were: the Chase Plaza and Office Area, Central Corridor, and Town Center and Grove Shopping Center Area. Each area has its own unique character and a specific set of recommended land uses and intensity. The recommended land uses are based on the Plan’s analysis of the Village’s changing demographics and market demands. One of the recommendations’ intent is to increase the variety of housing types along the Corridor.

•• The vision is organized into three subareas: North, Central, and South Subareas. Each consists of a rendered site plan, future land use plan, and perspectives to demonstrate the Village’s desired and expected character for the Prairie View Metra Station Area. •• The plan also conducted an architectural typology analysis to study the Village’s architectural style, which informed the vision’s built form.

•• The Plan also recommended creating a system of internal roadway networks within these areas to promote a safer and more efficient circulation, as well as improve pedestrian access and safety. The Plan also provided guidance on these roadways’ character. •• The Plan provided a series of implementation strategies. One of which was to ensure the Village’s Comprehensive Plan accounted for the Lake-Cook Road Corridor Plan’s recommendations.

•• Each subarea also include improvements and expansion of the existing roadway network, contributing to a transit- and pedestrian-friendly environment to complement the Prairie View Metra Station.

Successes •• The plan and its planning process has generated interests among developers to implement the plan’s vision.

Successes •• The Plan was adopted in 2018 and provides an important guide for the Village to begin takings steps toward implementation. •• The Plan’s recommendations ensure the Village’s developmental and building standards can facilitate the desired development the Plan envisioned. This is being reinforced through updating of the Comprehensive Plan. An update of the zoning ordinance should follow to ensure Lake-Cook Road is able to fulfill its potential.

Land Use & Development

DRAFT For Review

Land use patterns play a significant role in shaping the physical character of Buffalo Grove. The Village is guided by its policy documents, such as the 2009 Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. The Planning and Zoning Commission and the Village Board enforce and interpret these policies. This chapter will examine the existing land use patterns, how the current Zoning Ordinance impacts land use, and the issues and opportunities they present. They will form the basis of the Comprehensive Planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations.

Multi-Family

Existing Land Uses

General commercial uses include general retail, dining, and services that can be tailored to either the local or regional customer base. These uses can be situated within smaller and individual buildings, shopping malls, strip malls, and big-box retail developments.

Existing land uses in Buffalo Grove were documented using the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (CMAP) 2013 Land Use Inventory data. Spot-checks, involving comparing the data and Google Earth imagery, were conducted to update the data where needed. The accompanying map identifies existing land use for every parcel within the Village. Every parcel has been categorized into one of the 15 land use designations that follow.

Single-Family Detached This consists of single-family detached homes. This is currently the predominant land use within the Village of Buffalo Grove. Lot sizes and housing characteristics/ typologies vary across different neighborhoods and subdivisions.

Single-Family Attached This land use consists of townhomes and duplexes. The units are horizontally connected but have separate entrances from the public right-of-way and sidewalks. This land use is mostly concentrated in subdivisions throughout the Village.

Multi-family residential areas include apartment buildings where units share a common entrance or hallway. Similar to single-family attached uses, multi-family uses in Buffalo Grove are typically concentrated in subdivisions, and are generally located along Dundee Road, near the Town Center development, and north of Chevy Chase Country Club.

Commercial

Office Office uses typically include professional services, employment, offices, and medical offices. They can accommodate accessory commercial uses, such as restaurant, service, or other convenience services that are geared toward serving the office tenants. In Buffalo Grove, they mostly consist of standalone office and medical office buildings.

Research/Light Industrial Research/light industrial land uses cover a wide range of functions. They include storage, warehouse, research, light processing or assembly, and manufacturing. These land uses are typically located in the industrial-like building that is characterized by one.

Buffalo Grove Comprehensive Plan Land Use & Development

Civic Institutions

Utilities/Transportation

This land use includes a broad range of public and semi-private facilities. These facilities are considered community amenities that define and contribute to Buffalo Grove’s quality of life and shared service delivery. These amenities can include government buildings/facilities, religious institutions, and museums. These facilities can be integrated into other land use categories as they are generally small in scale and both serve their surrounding neighborhoods and Village as a whole.

This land use designation includes public transportation and utility facilities. They vary in physical scale and scale of operations. Utilities and transportation are necessary public infrastructure in the Village and are critical to its function. Examples of utilities/transportation uses include overhead utility lines, railroad rights-of-way, Buffalo Grove and Prairie View Metra Stations, and the Lake County Water Treatment Plant. These uses serve the Village as a whole.

Schools

Vacant

This land use consists of public and private educational institutions in Buffalo Grove. Buffalo Grove’s school system is nationally recognized and attracts many families moving into the Village.

This land use designation includes currently vacant buildings and/or lots within Buffalo Grove. They present opportunities for infill development. The Land and Lakes Wheeling landfill has recently been annexed into the Village of Buffalo Grove. According to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (ILEPA), this landfill has been filled to capacity, closed and covered, and is being stabilized under a post-closure care plan.

Parks/Open Space This land use category consists of public parks and open space. They accommodate both active and passive recreation and, like civic institutions, contribute to Buffalo Grove’s quality of life and serve the Village as a whole. Similar to schools, Buffalo Grove’s park system is wellrecognized and is one of the favorite amenities among Buffalo Grove’s residents. These spaces also include multi-use trails, athletic fields, golf courses, playgrounds, neighborhood parks, as well as the Cook and Lake County Forest Preserves.

Potential Areas for Annexation The Village’s 2016 Annexation Strategy and Plan identified a number of area that can be potentially annexed into Buffalo Grove. The existing land use map in the following page show existing land use patterns in these areas. Future annexation and redevelopment occuring in these areas should be sensitive to these areas’ current character.

Commerical Nodes The Village of Buffalo Grove’s physical characteristics can be organized into a series of neighborhood nodes. These nodes are centered on the Village’s existing clusters of commercial activity. These clusters include: •• Town Center Development •• Dundee Rd & Buffalo Grove Rd •• Dundee Rd & Arlington Heights Rd •• Prairie View Metra Station Area •• Mike Rylko Community Park Campus

Each node is surrounded by residential neighborhoods that have been established over time. Buffalo Grove’s land use patterns have remained relatively similar, with very few changes, since 2009. The Comprehensive Plan will examine the issues and opportunities of those nodes to form a basis for recommendations that strengthen their commercial or mixed-use functions and adds an amenity to the surrounding residential neighborhoods to become ‘complete neighborhoods.’ It is envisioned that residents have convenient multi-modal access and the nodes would accommodate driving, transit, walking, and biking to areas that provide a wide variety of dining options and services. The neighborhood nodes are organized into primary and secondary functions. The Village should prioritize the future improvement of the primary nodes.

Town Center Development The Town Center development is one of Buffalo Groveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community nodes. It is within proximity to many residential neighborhoods, that include multifamily apartments, townhomes, single-family homes. The Villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2018 Lake-Cook Corridor Plan envisioned additional multi-family and single-family attached developments within and around the Town Center Development, potentially increasing the residential customer base near the Town Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s businesses.

This node is home to several important anchors including Aldi and the Buffalo Grove High School. The underutilized parking lots at the existing shopping center present opportunities for infill development, which can accommodate a mix of residential, office, and commercial uses. Underutilized properties along Dundee Road and near Bison Park present partnership opportunities between the Village, Buffalo Grove Park District, and the School District 214 to reconfigure the area to accommodate new uses such as non-teaching spaces for Buffalo Grove High School students.

Prairie View Metra Station Area As one of the busiest Metra Station on the NCS line, there is significant potential for continued transit-oriented development around the Prairie View Metra Station. The Village adopted the Prairie View Metra Station Area Plan in 2019, which provides long-term vision and guidance for this area. The unincorporated area around the Metra station is controlled by a Boundary Agreement with the Village of Lincolnshire. Annexation of designated properties to Buffalo Grove will be a part of the overall development of the Station Area.

Mike Rylko Community Park Campus This campus is a civic and recreational node that consists of multiple important recreational facilities. These facilities include the Village’s Fitness Center, Buffalo Skate Park, and the golf dome. Most of the Village’s trail converge in this area, providing residents easy access between this campus and nearby park space, including Willow Stream Park, Green Lake Park, and Cherbourg Park, and other parts of the Village.

Neighborhood Nodes Secondary nodes consist of commercial nodes in the Village that provide convenient access to dining and services to Village residents from adjacent neighborhoods. Although the Village should prioritize its investment and improvements to the primary nodes, opportunities exist through future improvements and development to improve pedestrian access between the secondary nodes and surrounding neighborhoods. Non-traditional uses also have the potential to infill vacant tenant spaces and contribute the secondary nodes’ role of being convenient and neighborhood-oriented service hubs. The secondary nodes include: •• Woodland Commons •• Chase Plaza Shopping and Office Area •• McHenry Rd & Arlington Heights Rd •• Deerfield Pkwy & Weiland Rd •• Buffalo Grove Rd and Aptakisic Rd

Regional Commercial Node The Deerfield Pkwy & Milwaukee Rd is an important regional commercial node for the Village. It has a concentration of retail, dining, shopping, and service options and is within proximity to the Village’s innovation, research, and advanced manufacturing hub. Woodman’s is a prominent shopping center and is located within this node. Given this node’s location, it will play an important role in guiding future developments along the Milwaukee Road Corridor and function as a gateway for travelers entering Buffalo Grove from the east trhough Deerfield Road.

Issues & Opportunities Industrial Park Buffalo Grove’s research/industrial park is successful in generating revenue for the Village and attracting new enterprises locating in Buffalo Grove. The research/ light industrial uses within Buffalo Grove generally consist of non-polluting and high-tech enterprises. From conversations with existing industrial tenants, it was noted that new and emerging manufacturers and light industrial users require high ceilings in buildings that can accommodate multiple tenants. This type of building is more versatile and is better able to meet various tenants’ needs. For Buffalo Grove to remain competitive in the region and attract additional tenants, this building type should be accommodated. (Re)development opportunities remain within the Village’s research/light industrial land use area to promote this type of development. Two specific redevelopment areas of interest are:

•• Flanagan Parcel (1195 Milwaukee Avenue): This approximately 30-acre landfill is another opportunity site for additional research/light industrial uses. This parcel is currently unincorporated and presents an annexation opportunity for the Village to ensure the district identity and utilization is maintained.

•• Land & Lakes Landfill: This approximately 58acre landfill is a redevelopment opportunity for commercial and research/light industrial uses. Ideally, the Milwaukee Avenue streetwall would be used for commercial development with cross-access to Parkway Dr to the north. Research/light industrial uses will ideally be situated on the west side of the site and provide access to Barclay Blvd. The separation of uses and access will need to account for the 30’ grade change east to west on the site.

Transit-Oriented Development

Civic Partnership Opportunities

The Buffalo Grove and Prairie View Metra stations are one of the Village’s strongest assets. Both stations are among the most well-utilized stations on the NCS line. There are significant opportunities to promote a diversity of commercial, office, and residential uses around each of the Metra stations.

District 214 is one of three school districts in Buffalo Grove that provides primary education to Buffalo Grove’s students. Buffalo High School in District 214 is nationally recognized and, according to US News, is ranked #20 among the best high schools in Illinois. District 214 has experienced student growth and the need for facilities expansion to accommodate additional academic and non-academic programming. They have expressed the need for additional non-teaching spaces, which include athletic fields and theater space, among others. This need presents opportunities for District 214 to partner with the Village and the Buffalo Grove Park District to explore ways to repurpose underutilized properties in the Village to accommodate such spaces.

Prairie View Metra Station The Village adopted the Prairie View Metra Station Area Plan in 2019 to provide long-term vision to guide and promote transit-oriented development in the current Lake County unincorporated area, including the Stancliff Property, around the Prairie View Metra Station. This plan supersedes the vision provided in the 2007 Buffalo Grove Transit Station Area Study (this study was not adopted by the Village). The Village has a Boundary Agreement with the Village of Lincolnshire that included the unincorporated portions Prairie View Metra Station area to be annexed into Buffalo Grove.

Buffalo Grove Metra Station The 2007 Buffalo Grove Transit Station Area Study provides a framework for future development around the Buffalo Grove Metra Station Area. However, the zoning districts around the station are inconsistent with the recommendations. There are conflicts where some developments have been planned or constructed that did not align with the 2007 study’s vision but were permitted by-right of the Village’s zoning ordinance. There is an opportunity to consider a district zoning overlay around the Buffalo Grove and Prairie View Metra Stations to promote the desired and envisioned development.

•• Rohrman Property: This is a series of underutilized properties at the southeast corner of Dundee Rd and Old Arlington Heights Rd. There is an opportunity for District 214 to partner with the Village and the property owners to assemble parcels and either reuse or redevelop the lots to accommodate additional non-teaching space that could be shared by the community as part of a larger commercial/residential development. Additionally, Buffalo Grove Park District’s senior operations at the Alcott Community Center could be potentially relocated to this area which would create synergies between the variety of uses on the site. This would allow the existing Community Center at Alcott Park to be programmed for other uses that Village residents could use.

Buffalo Grove Comprehensive Plan Land Use & Development

•• Bison Park: This park presents an opportunity for partnership between District 214 and the Buffalo Grove Park District to repurpose Bison Park to host additional non-teaching space for District 214. The partnership could involve alternative uses or shared costs to create the needed spaces which would be open to both students and residents. Alternatively, the Buffalo Grove Park District may consider a sale of Bison Park to District 214, who would then redevelop Bison Park to fulfill their programming needs. •• Arboretum Club: The food, beverage, and land lease are set to expire in the coming years. The facility is currently owned and managed by the Village. This presents an opportunity for the Village to determine whether this facility should remain a golf course or repurpose it to accommodate other uses in the Village. There is an opportunity for District 214 to partner with Stevenson High School and the Village to repurpose the Arboretum Club to host additional non-teaching spaces that would be shared with the community.

Community Solar Project Solar energy has experienced significant growth throughout the nation over the several past years. There are opportunities for Buffalo Grove to capitalize on this trend and fulfill the tenants of its sustainability plan. There are opportunities for the Village to work with the Buffalo Grove Park District to inventory its vacant lands and open space to determine optimal locations for solar installations or implementation of other sustainable strategies such as nature plantings. In addition, the Village currently owns a number of dry detention ponds throughout the Village that could be made into productive environments with the installation of solar equipment. The amount of land available for this type of project can help determine the proportion of renewable energy the Village can generate for itself. The Village may consider partnering with locallybased high-tech enterprises, such as Siemens, in the implementation of solar technologies.

Greenway and Trail Connections The Village of Buffalo Grove features a robust network of trails, parks, and open spaces. It is also bordered by forest preserves, which are considered regional destinations. The existing network of greenways and parks provides the potential for a north-south connection through the Village while the forest preserves present opportunities for east-west connections. Future trail installations and improvements should prioritize these connections and be focused on greenways, future subdivisions, and roadways in coordination with infrastructure upgrades.

Current Zoning Considerations Regulatory controls are municipal ordinances that dictate the use and appearance of properties within the municipal limits. The Village’s Zoning Ordinance codifies these controls. It is intended to ensure the safety, health, and welfare of the public by reducing land use incompatibilities, reducing hazards, mitigating nuisances, protecting natural resources and features, and promoting a visually attractive environment and positive experience within the Village. When used effectively, it can be an instrument to attract new investment and growth. The following sections describe the issues and opportunities regarding the Village’s regulatory framework.

I – Industrial Zoning District Creating an Identity for Buffalo Grove’s Research/Light Industrial Park Buffalo Grove’s research/light industrial park is one of the Village’s most important assets. It is home to research/ light industrial establishments at varying scales, including Siemens and Flex LTD. It is critical for this area to have an identity so it can continue to attract businesses and the best talent in the region. Current trends in the research/ light industrial sector is showing greater demand for larger-scale buildings that can accommodate multiple tenants. This presents opportunities for the Village to revisit its I-Industrial Zoning District and ensure it promotes research/light industrial buildings that better meet industry demands.

Non-Traditional Uses Require Special Use Permits The Village’s research/light industrial park is currently zoned as I Industrial District. Non-traditional uses, such as daycare, tutoring space, and indoor sports complexes in research/light buildings would require a special use permit under the Village’s current zoning code. This creates additional permitting processing and time and deters these uses to locate in this land use. Some aging and smaller research/light industrial buildings have difficulty attracting and retaining typical industrial uses and tenants, however, there are opportunities for the Village to revisit the Industrial Zoning District’s uses to increase the type of tenant uses that are permitted by-right and do not need special use permits. This should be carefully balanced with the ability of the Village to attract largescale tenants, should demand continue. Alternatively, non-traditional uses may be considered on a case by case basis to ensure the safety and business mix in the industrial areas is maintained.

Zoning at Landfills The Land & Lakes Landfill is currently zoned as B3 Planned Business Center District. There is a strong demand for research/light industrial use in the Village and an opportunity for Land & Lakes Landfill to accommodate both commercial and research/light industrial uses. Commercial uses can front Milwaukee Ave while the industrial uses can be located at the rear. Fulfilling this vision may require subdividing this lot to accommodate B3 and I zoning districts. The Flanagan Parcel is another opportunity site for both commercial and research/light industrial uses. It is currently unincorporated. Should this parcel is annexed into Buffalo Grove, the Village should consider rezoning this parcel to either B3 or I zoning districts.

Commercial Uses Site Design

Potential Zoning Overlay District

The majority of commercial developments in Buffalo Grove are auto-oriented. This is characterized by building setbacks that accommodate large parking lots, which front the main roadway. As the Village explores way to improve the experience of its commercial nodes, there are opportunities to ensure commercial zoning districts’ bulk, yard, site design standards promote a more urban and pedestrian oriented character.

There are opportunities to implement a zoning overlay district on the Dundee Road Corridor. This Corridor is home to two important neighborhood nodes (Dundee Rd and Arlington Heights Rd and Dundee Rd and Buffalo Grove Rd). The issue is the Village’s existing zoning districts, including the versatile B3 – Planned Business Center District, for non-residential properties on Dundee Rd has resulted in a number of variances. This is because B3 and other commercial zoning districts have front yard buffer requirements that make it economically unfeasible for a development and property owner to fully conform to the zoning districts’ regulation when developing along Dundee Rd. Having a zoning overlay district creates an opportunity for the Village to adjust or revise its front yard buffer requirements and create a uniform set of standards and requirements for future developments on the Dundee Road Corridor. This, in turn, provides a clear set of expectations for developers and property owners.

Design Standards A significant number of buildings in the Village were built in the 1970s and 1980s. The design and character of these buildings no longer conforms to the Village’s vision for its neighborhoods and household size of residents. This presents opportunities for the Village to create design standards to clearly communicate the Village’s expectations for building character and design to developers and property owners. The design standards may apply to the entire Village or to specific areas or corridors.

Housing & Neighborhoods

DRAFT For Review

Source: Google Earth Pro Residential land uses occupy the majority of the land within the Village of Buffalo Grove. The Village’s housing stock is primarily comprised of single-family detached homes (~53%), apartments with two or more units (~30.7%) and single-family attached (16.4%). This chapter will examine the architectural typologies of Buffalo Grove’s residential developments and explore issues and opportunities related to the Village’s housing stock.

Issues & Opportunities Aging-In-Place Empty-Nesters Most of the Village’s housing units were built in the 1970s and 1980s. Although they were considered modern at the time, issues with effectively meeting the needs of current and future trends are present. Based on the Village’s demographic analysis, it is projected that the population of aging adults will grow in the coming years. This group of people is considered ‘empty-nesters’. So it was expressed during focus groups that some would prefer to down-size and move to smaller homes with lower price points in the Village. A considerable share of Buffalo Grove’s homes is priced between $200,000 and $500,000 (Source: American Community Survey 2013-2017 5-Year Estimates & ESRI Business Analyst 2019 Estimates). This presents opportunities for the Village to explore ways to diversify its housing stock, in terms of building style, density, and price points. Promoting infill development for residential uses, in the form of townhomes and multi-family apartments, is a potential strategy the Village can use to retain empty-nesters.

Buffalo Grove Comprehensive Plan Housing & Neighborhoods

Senior Housing Facilities

Multi-Generational Living

Based on current and projected trends, there is demand for more senior housing facilities in the Village of Buffalo Grove. There are various types of senior housing, and opportunities for the Village to promote greater senior living facilities that cater to the active senior demographic. The Dundee Rd and Lake-Cook Rd Corridors have great potential to accommodate this type of development. They can also be located near the established neighborhood and commercial nodes to produce synergies between residential and commercial uses. Stakeholders have noted that new senior housing facilities have been constructed in adjacent communities, and it is critical that the Village should engage with senior housing providers to better understand what main factors impact their decisions to locate their facilities.

The US Census showed that 18.1% of the U.S. population (57 million Americans) lived in multi-generational households in 2012. This is double the number of such households in 1980. This growth spiked during the Great Recession of 2007-2009 and continued to grow, albeit at a slower pace, during the post-recession period. Racial and ethnic minorities are more likely to live in a multigenerational family, which has been increasing since the 1970s. The Pew Research Center founded that Asians are most likely of all minority groups to live in multigenerational arrangements. In 2016, the Asian population made up 21%of the total population in the Village of Buffalo Grove.

Existing Conditions Report Housing & Neighborhoods

There are various reasons for this phenomenon. Young adults are marrying later in life and staying in school longer. This contributes to an increasing share of young adults living with their parents. Declining employment and wages may also undermine adultsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to live independently. Many existing residential units in the Village of Buffalo Grove are designed for single-generation living. There are opportunities to promote new housing types that are conducive to multi-generational living. The following are design and housing examples that promote this concept.

DRAFT For Review

Source: Google Earth Pro •• Universal Design / Open Access: This works in tandem with flexible spaces to create an environment that all persons can use. Examples of universal design include wide-enough hallways to accommodate a wheelchair and zero-entry threshold to accommodate people with physical disabilities.

Design Features of Multi-Generational Housing •• Multiple Masters: Multi-generational homes may require a second master bedroom, preferably on the first floor, to provide better access and privacy for older parents. This also gives them a sense of privacy in a shared home. •• Suite Addition: One of the best ways to make multigenerational housing work is to construct an in-law suite/apartment with a separate kitchenette and entrance. The feasibility of this feature will depend on zoning restrictions. •• Versatile Living Room: Multi-generational housing can either feature a separated living room or a large space with appropriate amenities to enable different generations to coexist. An example is to install shelving/storage units in the living room to help keep the space free from toys and clutter, which can pose a safety issue to seniors. •• Flex Space: Rooms should be designed to be adaptable for various uses. For example, an underutilized living room can be repurposed into a home office, then an in-law suite, then a space for a young adult who decided to move home, and then an entertainment space.

In-law Units (Granny Flats) In-law units are apartments that are an accessory to a primary residence. They have their own entrance, kitchen, bedroom, and living area. In-law units are typically located above the garage of the primary residence or as a separate structure in the primary residence’s rear lawn. The unit is generally occupied by the primary residence’s guest or relative. In-law units could provide benefits to the community, homeowners, families, and the elderly alike. Having in-law units increases the number of persons per household in existing residential neighborhoods. This reduces the need for municipalities to extend utilities and services. This option helps municipalities increase their diversity of housing options at moderate pricing points without requiring local funding. In-law units enable the elderly population to maintain their independence in the community and to have continued to access to nearby community amenities.

Buffalo Grove Comprehensive Plan Housing & Neighborhoods

Currently, municipalities may have regulations pertaining to what certain relatives and guests can live there and whether rents may be charged. The Village of Buffalo Grove’s Zoning Ordinance currently does not permit residential uses on accessory dwelling units (see 17.12.005 - Accessory building or structure in the Village’s Municipal Code). This presents an opportunity for the Village to evaluate its permitting and regulatory process to understand how the Village can accommodate in-law units in a way that would contribute to a neighborhood’s sense of place.

Attracting Young Professionals and Teachers Diversifying Buffalo Grove’s housing stock includes promoting housing typologies that young professionals would be attracted to. Based on current trends, multifamily apartments with amenities are attractive to young professionals, including teachers. Buffalo Grove faces the challenge with providing housing for those that work in the Village but who cannot afford housing there. Teachers are one affected group. They commute to the Village and are unable to participate in the schools’ after-school programs. Creating this housing type and ensuring rental units are available near schools and Metra stations are opportunities for the Village to better attract and retain teachers.

Rehabilitation and Teardown of Older Housing Stock A significant portion of the Village’s older housing stock, which was built between the 1960s and 1970s, are concentrated in the southern portion of the Village. As time progresses, these homes will be in need of rehabilitation to adapt to modern standards and changing needs. Alternatively, these homes may be torn down and redeveloped into either a newer housing or converted to other land use, depending on the site’s location. This presents opportunities for the Village to work with property owners and developers to promote best practices in housing rehabilitation and responsive housing options to the Village’s changing demographics and resident demands. The Village could also examine the number and where teardowns are occurring to understand which neighborhoods are experiencing changes.

Increasing Housing Diversity and Affordability The Village faces challenges in diversifying its housing stock and price points. A significant portion of housing units are larger-sized single-family detached homes priced at least $200,000. Through infill development and rehabilitation of existing homes, there are opportunities for the Village to work with developers and property owners and utilize its economic development tools to promote housing typologies that vary in terms of size, density, location, and price points.

Housing Typologies Buffalo Grove’s housing developments significantly contribute to the overall perception of the Village. The homes’ site design and architectural style is important to establishing a uniform community identity. The Village’s housing developments (single-family and -attached) were examined and organized into seven primary typologies. These typologies present a cohesive and comprehensive cross-section of Post-War suburban residential development in the Midwestern United States. •• The American Foursquare (Early 1900s) •• The Post-War Building Boom (1940s - 1970s) •• The Late 20th Century Single Family Home (1980s-2000s) •• The 21st Century Paired Home (1990s-2000s) •• The New Urbanist Townhome (2010s) •• Contemporary Multi-Family •• Pre-2000s Multi-Family

Typology #1: The American Foursquare Uses: Residential, Commercial

Features The American Foursquare is one of the most dominant styles of home from the early 20th century. These homes feature a compact, square plan, are two-and-a-half stories in height, and topped with a simple roof accentuated by a central dormer. These houses developed in reaction to the overly ornate Victorian homes of the late 1800s and escew excess detail in favor of handcrafted â&#x20AC;&#x153;craftsmanâ&#x20AC;? woodwork. Years Constructed: circa 1890 - 1930 Construction Type: Wood Framed or Brick Exterior Materials: Wood Siding, Brick or Stucco Use: Single Family Residential, later Commercial Height: Two and a half Stories Parking: One-Two Cars, Detached, in rear (potentially added later)

Typology #2: Post-war Building Boom Uses: Residential

Features The suburban building boom following World War II established the ranch-style house, and its variants the Raised Ranch and Split-Level as the dominant housing styles of the latter half of the 20th century. Its long, low profile reflected American desires for wideopen spaces, with an open layout that embraces a more informal living style. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;model homeâ&#x20AC;? design method allowed for rapid construction to suit soaring demand. Years Constructed: circa 1940s - 1970s

Typology #3: Late 20th Century Single Family Home Uses: Residential

Features

Parking: Two-Three Cars, Attached, Front or Side

Towards the end of the 20st century and into the 21st century, residential construction turned toward a contemporary version of American Revivalism known as Neo-Eclecticism. These homes combine a wide array of decorative techniques from an assortment of traditional styles, resulting in a more complex aesthetic than the simple post-war residence.

Special Features: Complex Rooflines, Dormers, Prominent Entrance

Much of the revivalist elements are exclusively decorative, while the informal, casual interiors and construction methods of the American Ranch remain. Highly pitched, complex roofs often combine a variety of styles and features including gables, hips, dormers, and special accents.

Features

This model features the densest form of residential uses. This model caters to empty-nesters and young professionals who looking to live in relatively smaller living spaces than in townhomes or houses. This also includes contemporary senior housing facilities, which includes living spaces and a wide variety of amenities. Parking is typically heated and is located at the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basement.

Pre-2000 multi-family apartments are usually situated within subdivisions of similar-looking apartments.

DUNDEE

ROAD

Overview Dundee Road Corridor was at one time Buffalo Grove’s original commercial street, serving as a major retail center for the Village. According to the Encyclopedia of Chicago, “In the 1930s Dundee Road became the first state concrete road in northern Illinois”. Ranch Mart Shopping Center, currently The Plaza at the Buffalo Grove intersection, opened in 1964.

Arlington Heights Road Intersection

The corridor has been significantly built up for decades, with minimal vacant land for new development. Aerial views from 1994 (below) show that very little has changed in this corridor in the last few decades. Today, Dundee Road (IL 68) is a major east-west corridor in northern Cook County and serves Buffalo Grove and the neighboring communities of Arlington Heights and Wheeling. Designated as a Major Arterial by IDOT, the road carries an average traffic of 22,700-26,400 daily. The two major commercial nodes today are at the Arlington Heights Road and Buffalo Grove Road intersections.

Major Strengths

uses, or a residential street with major commercial nodes?

• Buffalo Grove High School is a major anchor and a strong asset for the corridor as well as the Village.

• A car-oriented arterial with minimal pedestrian appeal.

• The corridor already has a mix of uses, with significant multifamily housing interspersed with commercial uses. • A variety of affordable multifamily housing choices are available. • Residents feel safe and crime is not a major concern. • There are ample public parks within walking distance from most homes. • Pace bus service is also available within walking distance from most homes.

• Unattractive street in need of streetscaping and more greenery. • Aging buildings, dated architecture and outdated retail centers. • No sense of a “center or a place”or a major activity hub on the corridor. • No outdoor place or plaza for gathering, outdoor seating or events. • Empty commercial properties and lack of recent new developments. • Unattractive car-oriented intersections that are not safe for pedestrians and bicyclists. • Dated retail centers with surface parking along the streets. • Lack of bus shelters and amenities for Pace riders. • Lack of signage for trails and missing connections to the Village-wide trail network. • Existing parks do not cater to the needs of seniors and young adults.

• Challenges of the disparity between economic perceptions and realities for Cook County versus Lake County.

Transportation Pedestrian and Bicycle Mobility • Existing intersections are designed for auto-traffic and need to be upgraded to be safe and attractive for pedestrians and bicyclists. Wider intersections require further improvements to increase pedestrian comfort levels. The reconstruction of the medians with decorative paving or landscaping, extensions of the medians through the crosswalks to create a refuge island, expansion and upgrades of the corner islands, and wider and decorative crosswalk patterns are options to consider. Pedestrian safety upgrades (pedestrian signals, countdown timers, high-visibility crosswalks, ADA-compliant curb ramps, etc.) are also needed at signalized intersections. • There is already a mult-use path along the north side of Dundee Road. Many residents seem to think this is just a wider sidewalk and are unaware that this is also a trail. Signage and pavement markings are needed to make the role of the multi-use path clear to all users.

• There is a lack of trail connections to destinations in and other public opens paces in other parts of the Village. • The existing unprotected crosswalk on Arlington Heights Road next to Buffalo Grove High School is a significant safety concern. A relocation of the crossing to the high school’s north driveway, combined with enhancements to the roadway median and potential signalization of the intersection would partially allay Roadway Arlington Heights Road Buffalo Grove Road Weidner Road

the concern. The possibility of signalizing the Arlington Heights Road intersection with the north driveway would further enhance pedestrian crossing safety.

Program includes the following: • Dundee Road (IL 68) – Resurfacing and ADA improvements; 4.26 miles from east of Kennicott Avenue in Arlington Heights through Buffalo Grove to First Street in Wheeling.

• Relocating the existing mid-block signalized entry to the High School to align with Old Arlington Heights Road would create a clean intersection and provide safer crossings for pedestrians and bicyclists.

• Old Arlington Heights Road – Resurfacing and ADA improvements; 0.45 miles from Dundee Road to Arlington Heights Road.

• Existing gaps in the multi-use path (trail) and sidewalks need to be filled in to create a connected system.

Pace • Most of the multifamily and apartment complexes in the corridor are within a ¼-mile walking distance of a Pace bus route.

Street R.O.W. • Dundee a major arterial owned and maintained by IDOT. It is a 5 lane road with a curbed center median. The median is landscaped on a few blocks. Overall appearance is unattractive with no cohesive streetscaping style.

• Bus stops do not offer passenger waiting amenities (i.e., weather-protected shelters, benches, lighting, real-time bus tracker information, bus route maps/ schedules, concrete waiting pads).

• There are an excessive number of curb cuts and vehicular conflict points along Dundee Road, especially near the Old Arlington Heights Road and Buffalo Grove Road intersections. Consolidation of curb cuts throughout the corridor would create more continuous sidewalks and trails and reduce traffic issues related to frequent turn movements.

• The bus stop on westbound Dundee Road between Grove Drive/Fireside Terrace Apartments and Strathmore Square Shopping Center receives significant ridership but lacks a bus shelter.

Bison Park: A Key Opportunity

• A second connection to the park can be created from the south by continuing the bike path on the east side of Old Arlington Heights Road from Miller Road north to Dundee Road and by extending a new easterly path within a private easement near the south property line of the former automobile dealership sites.

Bison Park is an underutilized public open space with an irregular shape and limited visibility from Dundee Road. Pedestrian and bike connections to the park are not safe or convenient today. The Old Arlington Heights Road intersection west of the park is not signalized. The existing signal to the High School creates a mid-block connection further west.

More amenities and programming. Students and staff from the high school strongly support the idea of improving the park significantly into a “place” they can use all year. Ideas from students and other stakeholders for park programming include:

Following are key opportunities to transform Bison Park into a catalytic public open space that can help attract new development as desired by the community:

• Nature Garden

Reshaping the park. A more visible and regular shaped park can be created as part of the redevelopment of the Rohrman’s site. Existing detention can be incorporated into the park design.

• Community Garden • Music /Small Performance Space • Skating Park • Lacrosse Field

Safer connections across Dundee Road. Relocating the signalized entrance to the High school to align with Old Arlington Heights Road would create a clean signalized intersection that can offer safe pedestrian and bike crossing across Dundee Road. Other options to consider include:

• More Trails • Safe connections to school • Sensory Park • Outdoor Pubic Art • Soccer/Football, tennis, baseball

• The sidewalk on the south side of Dundee Road between the signalized crossings at the high school access drive and Weidner Road can be widened.

• Photo Op for School Events • Plaza for outdoor seating

Summary of Opportunities Creating a green multi-modal street 1.

4. Install user friendly maps, signage and trail heads for easy and clear access to the Bike network.

Add Landscaped Medians along the full length of the corridor to add greenery and shade to the street.

5. Consider bold pavement signage and color to make it clear that the multi-use path along the north side of Dundee Road is for bikes and pedestrians.

2. Completely upgrade car-oriented intersections to be more attractive and safe for pedestrians, bicyclists and other modes of travel. Consider adding decorative paving or landscaping, extensions of the medians through the crosswalks, and expansion and upgrades of the corner islands.

6. Add bus shelters for all stops along the corridor. 7.

Require dedicated parking spaces for no-emission vehicles, electric vehicle charging stations and bicycle racks for all development. Encourage carsharing services to reduce individual auto use and parking needs.

intersections. • Require buildings to be placed along the street with parking to the rear of buildings.

1. Create a new “Dundee District” Zoning and Comprehensive Plan designation that creates a cohesive identity, better responds to changing market trends and supports community desired mix of uses including:

• Require cross access easements between adjoining properties. • Consolidate detention areas where possible. Design detention areas as open space amenities with native landscaping.

• New walkable mixed-use developments • New restaurants, coffee shops, breweries / pubs, fewer chain and fast food restaurants

• Establish clear design standards for building facades facing Dundee Road.

• More health-related stores and medical uses • Entertainment uses including small venues for live music and a theater

3. Establish a TIF District to help fund investments in infrastructure and new development. Aim to have the new Zoning and TIF district boundaries coincide as much as possible.

• New multifamily development and apartments especially to serve empty-nesters and seniors. • New rowhouses (rear loaded attached multifamily homes)

Redevelopment Opportunities

2. Establish clear design guidelines to support Pedestrian Oriented Development that can require the following key elements:

Area A Arlington Hts Rd Intersection This area is the western gateway to the Dundee Road Corridor and the Village from IL 53. Only three corners of this key intersection are in the Village, with the fourth and southeast corner in the Village of Arlington Heights. Currently, typical car-oriented retail centers occupy both A1 and A2 sites with outlots in the front and larger anchors in the back. Parcels are approx. 400 to 600 feet deep and large enough to accommodate long-term redevelopment with commercial uses in the front and multifamily uses in the back. There is a great opportunity to create a plaza with outdoor seating to serve students and staff from the High School as well as residents in the area, and create an attractive gateway to Buffalo Grove from the west.

Area B Bison Park Block This is a major redevelopment opportunity area for the Village today. The large vacant Rohrman site and the underutilized Bison Park together create a redevelopment site of approx. 20 acres. This is an opportunity to create a catalytic new development that can create development interest in the rest of the corridor and can include the following: • Reshape Bison Park to create a more visible and easily accessible public open space. Consolidate with existing detention area and add amenities and programming. • Attract new restaurants along the street with parking and new multifamily development to the rear.

These mid-corridor parcels have a variety of commercial uses today that are potentially at risk for long-term survival, given the changing trends in the regional retail market.

• SIZE:1.88 Acres • OWNERSHIP: Private

C1 is an L-shaped dated strip retail center surrounded with residential uses on both sides. The size and depth of this parcel are well suited for long-term redevelopment into rowhouses or multifamily uses. C2 is a large parcel approx. 200 feet deep and has great potential for long-term redevelopment into commercial uses along the front with new multifamily in the back. This can potentially connect to the adjacent mixed-use development in Arlington Heights to the west and help to attract restaurants to the area.

Area C Mid-corridor blocks Parcels C3 and C4 together offer approx. 6 acres of redevelopment opportunity to long-term create an attractive corner at Golfview Terrace. Given the mid-corridor location, these sites are well suited for new rowhouse or multifamily developments and fit in with adjacent residential uses. Parcels in C5 have 10 detached single family homes on Dundee Parkway, a dead-end public frontage road parallel to Dundee Road. Assembling these sites and removal of the Frontage Road would lead to redevelopment parcels well-suited for new rowhouses and multifamily development.

Corridor Overview Milwaukee Avenue defines the eastern edge of Buffalo Grove, with majority of the street frontage shared with neighboring communities of Riverwoods, Wheeling and Lincolnshire. Historically it is one of the Chicago region’s iconic scenic streets that extended significant growth from the City borders to northern Lake County. Downtowns and Main Streets grew along Milwaukee Avenue in communities like Glenview, Northbrook, Libertyville and Vernon Hills. This part of the Avenue, from Lake Cook Road to Aptakisic Road, is an edge and not a “center” for the communities along the road. Designated as a Major Arterial by IDOT, the six-lane road carries 32,700 to 33,900 vehicles daily, and is perceived as primarily a car-oriented corridor.

• The south end of the corridor is anchored by a major office complex with two 20-story towers and two parking structures. The complex overlooks the Des Plaines River and creates a strong focal point at the Lake Cook ramp. The other major new anchor is Woodman’s Food Market retail center that has added a 240,000sf grocery and other outlots at the Deerfield Road intersection. Remaining uses generally include dated strip retail centers and other smaller commercial and office uses.

Transportation Roadways

Future Plans

Milwaukee is owned and maintained by IDOT. It is designated as a Major Arterial which carries 32,700 to 33,900 vehicles daily, and is perceived as primarily a car-oriented corridor. This volume of traffic is adequately accommodated by the six-lane cross section between Lake Cook Road and Prague Avenue.

IDOT Strategic Regional Arterial Studies

• The transition to a five-lane cross-section north of Prague Avenue results in traffic delays and congestion during the peak periods. IDOT’s ultimate plan for Milwaukee Avenue would continue the six-lane cross section through the Village, which would reduce the congestion along the roadway. • Traffic signal control may be warranted in the future at Milwaukee Avenue/Johnson Drive/N. Riverwalk Drive extension. • There are excessive number of curb cuts and vehicular conflict points at Milwaukee Avenue (Riverwalk Drive-Johnson Drive). Curb cuts could be consolidated and moved further from the intersection at Milwaukee Avenue/Riverwalk Drive/Columbus Parkway.

• Proposed configuration has yet to be built and consists of the widening of the roadway through Buffalo Grove to three through lanes in each direction with a 30-foot wide raised median and sidewalk along both sides of the road built within a 150-foot right-ofway. The only segment currently with three lanes in each direction is between Lake Cook Road and Prague Avenue. The improvements would also require the reconstruction of the bridge over Aptakisic Creek. Lake County Division of Transportation FY 2019-2024 Proposed Highway Improvement Program • Roadway reconstruction and widening of Deerfield Road: new non-motorized accommodations through Riverwoods from Milwaukee Avenue to Saunders Road. Programmed for 2022 through 2023 and intersection work is planned for 2022-2024. Lake County’s 2040 Transportation Plan

• There are opportunities for better median and street landscaping to add more greenery to the street.

Pace • The corridor is well served by Pace service, with connections to the Transportation Center and mall in Schaumburg and other local and regional destinations. • The southbound service at Columbus Parkway/ Riverwalk Drive receives significant ridership but lacks bus shelter and passenger amenities, however some bus shelters are currently being planned.

• Roadway widening of Milwaukee Avenue: 7.25 miles from Lake Cook Road to IL 60. • Lake Cook Road Deviating Bus Service: Northgate Parkway to Sheridan Road in Highland Park via Lake Cook Road. • Lake Cook Road Bikeway: Northgate Parkway to Sheridan Road in Highland Park via Lake Cook Road. • Deerfield Road Bikeway: Milwaukee Avenue to Portwine Road in Riverwoods.

Trucks • Milwaukee Avenue (US 45/IL21) is designated as an IDOT Class II Truck Route carrying an Annual Average Truck Traffic of 1,975-2,300 trucks.

Trails & Pedestrian Connections Des Plaines River Trail connections

Intersections

Milwaukee Avenue runs parallel to the Des Plaines River Trail system that offers 56 miles of regional trails through Lake and Cook County. This is an incredible asset for Buffalo Grove that needs to be celebrated and utilized more strongly.

• Signalized intersections at Deerfield Road and Busch Parkway can be significantly improved for pedestrian and bike safety including pedestrian signals, countdown timers, high-visibility crosswalks, ADAcompliant curb ramps, etc.

Residents have a perception of a lack of trails in the Village and a lack of connections to the Des Plaines River Trail and other major destinations in the Village, which may be a result of a lack of bicycle way-finding signage.

• Wider intersections require further improvements to increase pedestrian comfort levels, potentially including the reconstruction of the medians with decorative pavers or landscaping, extensions of the medians through the crosswalks to create a refuge island, and expansion and upgrades of the corner islands.

The Des Plaines River Trail today has only one access point in Buffalo Grove at Riverwalk Drive and is not the most visible entry point to this great regional asset. Community feedback indicates residents tend to use access points on Aptakisic Road in Lincolnshire and Deerfield Road in Riverwoods. This is a great opportunity to create more bold trailhead entranceways at the heart of Milwaukee Avenue and firmly establish Buffalo Grove as a Des Plaines River community.

• Grade-separated crossings currently exist on Lake Cook Road east of Gap Milwaukee Avenue. Bicycle System Location

Development Opportunities Following key assets of the corridor can be leveraged to attract new development to the corridor: • Strong address as a commercial corridor. High traffic volumes support new commercial development which would serve the entire region. • The new Woodman’s Grocery is a strong economic anchor serving residents from Buffalo Grove and the neighboring communities as well as being a regional destination. • Exiting large office complex at the Lake Cook interchange is a strong anchor and gateway to the corridor. • There are a few large vacant sites that offer opportunities for attracting more job producing and revenue generating uses. • Existing industrial uses have created a strong industrial base in the Village. Major issues to address include: • Multiple municipal jurisdictions create lack of a cohesive identity. • A car-oriented street with minimal multi-modal appeal. • Traffic and circulation issues. • Lack of clear connections to the Des Plaines River Trail.

From top: Woodman’s Grocery, Office Complex at Lake Cook Road and smaller commercial uses

• Too many zoning designations and a lack of clear direction on future land uses, especially where multifamily uses are appropriate.

Major opportunities include: • Attract a major job producing and revenue generating anchor, including retail, medical, office and industrial uses. While the site is large enough for a major retail anchor, the market trends do not appear to support a big-box type development in the near-term. • Build on the existing “City Park” Lincolnshire’s mixed-use development, to the north, which has tried to create a place for dining, shopping, entertainment and work. The project offers boutique stores, a 20-theatre Regal Cinema and IMAX, glow-in-the-dark miniature golf, ceramic painting, outdoor summer concerts, a variety of restaurants and new higher end apartment developments.

Transportation

DRAFT For Review

Source: Google Earth Pro The Village of Buffalo Grove is located at the convergence of five State routes and six County highways, which leads to high volumes of through traffic, auto-centric commuting patterns, and significant barriers to pedestrian and bicycle travel. Over the years, the Village has worked towards broadening its transportation infrastructure into a more multimodal system by establishing service on the Metra North Central Service Line, supporting Pace feeder bus service to Metra and Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) terminals, and building a bicycle trail and pedestrian system that extends to all corners of the Village. These investments have brought economic development to the Village and have enhanced the quality of life for its residents. In planning for the Villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next 20 years, the Village will want to capitalize on opportunities to address remaining deficiencies in the transportation system, and better integrate the various modal components of the system, in an effort to support its commercial and residential base and achieve its environmental goals for sustainability.

108

The Comprehensive Plan will focus on strategic improvements to the transportation system that capitalize on reducing congestion in the Villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commercial corridors, enhancing its public transit assets to increase ridership and expand services, incorporate sustainable options and new technologies, close remaining gaps in the bicycle and pedestrian network, and improve pedestrian safety at the major roadway crossings. The plan that will be built from this assessment of existing transportation conditions will consider input received during the community outreach process. The plan will also incorporate regional improvements planned or programmed by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways, Lake County Division of Transportation, CMAP, Metra, and Pace, as well as the local plans of the Village of Buffalo Grove. The plan will also align with the existing and planned transportation infrastructure in the Villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighboring communities of Arlington Heights, Lincolnshire, Long Grove, Riverwoods, Vernon Hills, and Wheeling.

Summary of Key Transportation Findings, Issues & Opportunities

•• The Canadian National Railway creates a significant barrier to east-west travel in the Village, which is only penetrated by Buffalo Grove Road, IL 22, Deerfield Parkway, and Lake Cook Road.

The following summarizes the key findings from the existing transportation system assessment, along with significant issues and potential opportunities for improvement. The findings have been organized into five categories including traffic circulation, sustainable vehicles, public transit, freight rail, and bicycle and pedestrian mobility. This summary is based on field reconnaissance, visual assessments, and a review of the past plans and studies. Moving forward in the planning process, these findings will help to shape and inform the community’s vision, goals and objectives, and ultimate recommendations of the transportation component of the Comprehensive Plan.

Traffic Circulation •• The Village benefits from proximate access to the regional freeway system via two interchanges with IL 53 (Lake Cook Road, Dundee Road) ¾-mile to 1½-mile west of the Village and three interchanges with the TriState Tollway (IL 22, Deerfield Road, Lake Cook Road) 2 to 3 miles east of the Village. •• The arterial roadways in the Village are all governed by IDOT, Cook County, or Lake County which requires regular intergovernmental cooperation with the Village. •• Four of the arterial roadways are designated by IDOT as Strategic Regional Arterials (SRA) and correspondingly carry high volumes of traffic (Lake Cook Road, Milwaukee Avenue, Half Day Road, McHenry Road). SRA’s have more stringent access control and traffic signal spacing requirements. •• Buffalo Grove’s arterial and collector roadway network generally provides good continuity through the Village, seamless connections with the adjoining communities, efficient linkages between local neighborhoods and commercial corridors, and direct access to the regional freeway system to the east and west.

110

•• The Buffalo Grove Golf Course constrains east-west and north-south travel through the center of the community. •• The private street that extends through the Buffalo Grove Town Center constrains the continuity of Old Checker Road between Buffalo Grove Road and McHenry Road. •• There are two notable road misalignments in the Village; one at the north end where Weiland Road and Prairie Road are offset by ½-mile at Aptakisic Road and the other at the south end where Weiland Road is offset from a skewed alignment of Aptakisic Road at McHenry Road. •• There are a few local streets that are presently stubbed but are either planned to be extended or have the potential to be extended. Olive Hill Drive and Hoffman Drive will be extended as part of the Link Crossing development. Jordan Terrace and Margate Drive have the potential to be extended when adjoining property develops. N. Riverwalk Drive has the potential to be extended to Milwaukee Avenue opposite Johnson Drive if adjoining property were to redevelop. •• Traffic signal control may be warranted in the future at Deerfield Parkway/Barclay Boulevard, Buffalo Grove Road/Brandywyn Lane, Prairie Road/Brandywyn Lane, Weiland Road/Thompson Boulevard (berm to be installed in 2020), Milwaukee Avenue/Johnson Drive/N. Riverwalk Drive extension, McHenry Road/ Bank Drive/Old Checker Road extension, and the north driveway to Buffalo Grove High School. Traffic signal control will be installed at the Weiland Road/ Thompson Boulevard intersection by the Lake County DOT in 2020. •• There are a few segments of the Village’s arterial roadways with an excess number of curb cuts and vehicular conflict points, including Dundee Road (Arlington Heights Road-Old Arlington Heights Road; Buffalo Grove Road-Old Buffalo Grove Road), and Milwaukee Avenue (Riverwalk Drive-Johnson Drive).

DRAFT For Review

Buffalo Grove Comprehensive Plan Transportation

•• There are also a few major intersections where curb cuts could be consolidated and moved further from the intersection, including Dundee Road/Arlington Heights Road, Lake Cook Road/McHenry Road, McHenry Road/Buffalo Grove Road, Milwaukee Avenue/Riverwalk Drive/Columbus Parkway, and Half Day Road/Prairie Road/Main Street.

Sustainable Vehicles •• There are currently no car-sharing services (ZipCar, etc.) operating in the Village, which contributes to increased auto use and parking needs, higher household automobile ownership rates, and more household income devoted to transportation costs. •• There are a few locations in the Village that provide dedicated parking spaces for no-emission vehicles and electric vehicle charging stations, including Woodman’s Market, Buffalo Grove High School, The Arbors of Buffalo Grove, Arboretum Club, and the various Walgreens in Buffalo Grove.

•• There are landscaping opportunities on the medians along Dundee Road, Buffalo Grove Road, McHenry Road, Milwaukee Avenue, Aptakisic Road, Prairie Road, and Lake-Cook Road •• Lake Cook Road and a few segments of some of the Village’s other arterial roadways are congested during peak periods as they carry traffic volumes that exceed or are approaching the roadway’s efficient operating capacity. There are opportunities for road widening on Lake Cook Road (in progress between Arlington Heights Road and Hastings Lane), McHenry Road (north of IL 53), Milwaukee Avenue (north of Prague Avenue), Aptakisic Road (being planned at west of Buffalo Grove Road), IL 53 (west of Old McHenry Road), and Weiland Road (Aptakisic Road-Armstrong Drive).

Public Transit

•• Cook and Lake County’s programmed roadway improvements will address the road capacity needs along congested segments of Lake Cook Road, Aptakisic Road, Weiland Road, Buffalo Grove Road, and McHenry Road (state route).

•• Metra commuter rail, Pace suburban bus, Vernon Township, and Wheeling Township provide public transportation services in the Village. •• The public transit services are only available on weekdays with the exception of two of the Pace bus routes, which offer Saturday service. •• The minimal Metra weekday service in the reversepeak direction, and the absence of weekend service makes it challenging for Village businesses to attract employees and customers residing in the City of Chicago. •• The Lake County Transportation Alliance is forming a North Central Service Working Group to further explore three service improvement scenarios identified through a recent RTA study.

•• IDOT’s programmed roadway improvements will improve surface quality and ADA compliance along segments of McHenry Road, Dundee Road and Old Arlington Heights Road. Longer-range plans will address road capacity needs on Milwaukee Avenue.

•• The lack of Metra inbound service (towards Chicago) on weekdays between 7:27 AM and 9:42 AM makes it difficult for residents to coordinate Metra travel with student drop-offs as the school start times generally range from 7:45-9:00 AM.

•• Village of Buffalo Grove’s programmed roadway improvements will improve surface quality and ADA compliance along Thompson Boulevard, Brandywyn Lane, Bernard Drive, Checker Road, Old Checker Road, and many other local roads.

•• Approximately 5.8% of Buffalo Grove’s 22,528 working residents utilize public transit to commute to work. •• The Metra North Central Service (NCS) Line extends through the Village and serves most of the Village residents at the Buffalo Grove and Prairie View Metra stations.

Existing Conditions Report Transportation

DRAFT For Review

111

•• Only 8% of Buffalo Grove’s working residents live within ½-mile walk of the two Metra stations but less than 7% of them commute to work by public transportation. •• Approximately 25% of the jobs within the Village are within ½-mile of the two Metra stations. •• Approximately 75-85% of Metra riders using the two stations arrive by car while 15-20% walk or bike to the station. A minimal number of riders arrive by Pace bus. •• Ridership levels at both Prairie View and Buffalo Grove Metra stations are at all-time highs. Further, the two stations are the highest ridership stations along the NCS line. •• There is a significant surplus of parking at the Buffalo Grove Metra station as daily parking utilization only reaches 35% of capacity. •• The parking utilization at the Prairie View Metra station is high at approximately 83% of capacity, however, Vernon Township uses approximately 25% of the lot as permit parking for Stevenson High School students. •• There are 5 Pace bus routes that circulate through the Village (234, 272, 604, 626, 634). Ridership levels are high on routes 272 and 626, moderate on routes 234 and 604, and low on Route 634. •• Most of the Village’s single-family and townhome residential neighborhoods are not within a convenient ¼-mile walking distance of a Pace bus route with the exception of the Columbian Gardens, Cambridge Countryside, Covington Manor, Le Parc, and Mill Creek subdivisions.

112

•• Most of the Village’s apartment complexes, however, are within a ¼-mile walking distance of a Pace bus route, including those along Dundee Road, Milwaukee Avenue, and Deerfield Parkway. Those not within a convenient walking distance are located in the Town Center area off of Lake Cook Road, Buffalo Grove Road, McHenry Road, and Checker Road. •• The Pace routes provide feeder service to the Metra system (North Central Service Line-Buffalo Grove Station and Wheeling Station; Milwaukee District North Line-Lake Cook Road Station; Union Pacific Northwest Line-Des Plaines Station), the CTA rapid transit system (Dempster-Skokie Yellow Line Station), and the Pace Northwest Transportation Center in Schaumburg. •• There are several bus shelters within the Village along the various Pace routes, including on Dundee Road, Deerfield Parkway, Buffalo Grove Road, Busch Parkway, Barclay Boulevard, and at the Buffalo Grove Metra Station, but a majority of the bus stops do not offer passenger waiting amenities (i.e., weatherprotected shelters, benches, lighting, real-time bus tracker information, bus route maps/schedules, concrete waiting pads). •• Many of the bus stops are not ADA accessible as they either lack connections to the sidewalk system or do not have paved connections between the sidewalk and bus stop/curb.

DRAFT For Review

Buffalo Grove Comprehensive Plan Transportation

Freight Rail Service •• The Canadian National (CN) Railway passes through the Village on the same tracks used by Metra’s North Central Service Line. •• There are two rail spurs within the Village, providing freight service to Nemera Corporation (600 Deerfield Parkway) and Flextronics International, Ltd. (700 Corporate Grove Drive). •• There are 4 railroad grade crossings in the Village located at Deerfield Parkway, Aptakisic Road, Half Day Road, and Buffalo Grove Road. All crossings are enhanced with vehicular safety features (automatic flashing light signals and gates, warning signs and pavement markings). •• All of the grade crossings are part of a Federal Railroad Administration-approved Quiet Zone which minimizes train horn noise through the Village.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Mobility •• The Village has an extensive bicycle system consisting of off-street bike trails and side paths located along all of the arterial and collector roadways, through public parks and open space, within the ComEd right-of-way. •• The bicycle system is also well-connected to the two regional trails in the area (Buffalo Creek Forest Preserve Trail, Des Plaines River Trail). •• Residents have a perception of a lack of trails in the Village and a lack of connections to the Des Plaines River Trail and other major destinations in the Village, which may be a result of a lack of bicycle wayfinding signage. •• A few of these trails extend through lowlands or wetland areas and tend to flood or ice over after rain/ snow events making them impassible. •• There are gaps in the bicycle system that remain to be closed along almost every arterial and collector road in the Village with the exception of Dundee Road, Deerfield Parkway and Old Checker Road.

Existing Conditions Report Transportation

•• A few of the schools and public parks lack bicycle paths or have paths that are not connected to the Village’s bicycle system, including Emmerich Park, Emmerich East Park, Bison Park, Raupp Memorial Museum & Park, Community Arts Center, Ivy Hall Elementary School, Willow Grove Early Learning Center, Earl Pritchett Elementary School, Kilmer Elementary School, and Cooper Middle School. •• The utilization of Bison Park can be enhanced by improving the bicycle/pedestrian connections to Buffalo Grove High School via Dundee Road, Old Arlington Heights Road, and the signalized crossings at the high school driveway and Weidner Road. •• There is a limited amount of bicycle parking within the Village. Bicycle racks are located at most of the municipal facilities, schools, Metra stations, and at some of the larger commercial centers and business park facilities. Racks are not provided in most of the public parks, the Community Arts Center, the Buffalo Creek Forest Preserve, and many of the religious institutions, shopping centers and employment centers. •• The Village’s Bicycle Plan includes several side paths, shared lanes, bike lanes, bike routes, combined bike/parking lanes, and widened sidewalks that will close many of the gaps in the bicycle system. The programmed County road improvement projects will close several additional gaps and will provide a connection to the Des Plaines River Trail from Deerfield Road. •• Lake Cook Road is a major barrier to bicycle and pedestrian travel between the Cook County and Lake County sides of Village which will become more of a barrier after the roadway is widened. The Lake Cook Corridor Plan includes a bicycle/pedestrian bridge over Lake Cook Road in the vicinity of Buffalo Creek to span this barrier.

DRAFT For Review

113

•• Pedestrians make use of the side paths and trails as well as the sidewalks which are generally located along one side or both sides of most roadways. Significant pedestrian system gaps are located along sections of IL 22, IL 53, Aptakisic Road, Old Checker Road, Weidner Road, Prairie Road, Main Street, Weiland Road, Barclay Boulevard, Fremont Way, Brandywyn Lane, Busch Parkway, and Pauline Avenue. Several other local roads are also missing pedestrian system linkages on one or both sides of the road. •• Pedestrian safety upgrades (pedestrian signals, countdown timers, high-visibility crosswalks, ADAcompliant curb ramps, etc.) are needed at several of the Village’s signalized intersections. •• Wider intersections require further improvements to increase pedestrian comfort levels, potentially including the reconstruction of the medians with decorative pavers or landscaping, extensions of the medians through the crosswalks to create a refuge island, and expansion and upgrades of the corner islands.

This section describes the existing transportation system in the Village of Buffalo Grove, including its roadway network, public transit services, freight rail carriers, and bicycle and pedestrian accommodations. The information was obtained from various sources, including the Village of Buffalo Grove, Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways (CCDTH), Lake County Division of Transportation (LCDOT), Regional Transportation Authority (RTA), Metra, Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), Pace, and Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), as well as previous studies conducted for the Village of Buffalo Grove and its neighboring communities, visual assessments and field reviews.

Roadway Network

•• The existing unprotected crosswalk on Arlington Heights Road next to Buffalo Grove High School is a significant safety concern. A relocation of the crossing to the high school’s north driveway, combined with enhancements to the roadway median and potential signalization of the intersection would partially allay the concern. •• The Village of Buffalo Grove has recently adopted a Complete Streets policy consistent with the policies previously adopted by IDOT, Cook County and Lake County.

Technical Assessment of Existing Transportation Conditions

Jurisdiction Most of the arterial roadways serving the Village of Buffalo Grove are under County or State jurisdiction, which limits the ability of the Village to unilaterally make improvements, control access or unify street character. The Cook County Department of Transportation and Highways (CCDTH) controls and maintains Lake Cook Road, as well as Arlington Heights Road, Buffalo Grove Road, and Weiland Road to the south of Lake Cook Road. The Lake County Division of Transportation controls and maintains Deerfield Parkway, Aptakisic Road, and Prairie Road, as well as Arlington Heights Road, Buffalo Grove Road and Weiland Road to the north of Lake Cook Road. McHenry Road (IL 83), Dundee Road (IL 68), Half Day Road (IL 22), Hicks Road (IL 53), and Milwaukee Avenue (US 45, IL 21) are controlled and maintained by the Illinois Department of Transportation. The collector roads and local roads are under the jurisdiction of the Village of Buffalo Grove. The Village will need to maintain close coordination with IDOT and the two Counties in order to accomplish the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan that will result in a well-balanced transportation system.

Functional Classification

Major Arterials

Roadways have two basic functions: to provide mobility and to provide land access. For planning and design purposes, roadways are classified in a hierarchical structure by function to define their role in the transportation system and their eligibility for certain types of federal transportation funds. Four general functional classifications are typically used, including freeways, arterials, collectors and local roads. Arterials and collectors are commonly subdivided into major and minor designations based on location, service function and design features (i.e., right-of-way, road capacity, continuity within system, speed limits, parking controls, traffic signal spacing, etc.). Each roadway classification serves as a collecting/distributing facility for the next higher classification in the system. The following summarizes the roadway functional classification system serving the Village of Buffalo Grove and describes these thoroughfares based on their context and design features.

Major arterials provide a high degree of mobility and function as the primary travel routes through urban areas. These roadways are continuous and serve the broader region, connecting the freeway system with the local system of minor arterials and collector roads, as well as the major activity centers within a community. Major arterials are higher capacity facilities that carry high volumes of traffic and require more stringent access controls and traffic signal spacing.

Freeways Freeways provide the highest degree of mobility, with access limited to grade-separated interchanges to preserve capacity for high volumes of traffic and high travel speeds. The nearest freeways to the Village of Buffalo Grove are Interstate 94/294 (Tri-State Tollway) and Illinois Route 53. Interstate 94 is accessed from Half Day Road (IL 22), Deerfield Parkway, and Lake Cook Road approximately two to three miles east of the Village. IL 53 is accessed from Lake Cook Road and Dundee Road approximately one to 1Â˝-miles west of the Village. The TriState Tollway is under the jurisdiction of the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority. IL 53 is under the jurisdiction of the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Existing Conditions Report Transportation

In the Chicago metropolitan area, IDOT has established a 1,500-mile network of the most important major arterials into the Strategic Regional Arterial (SRA) system. This system is intended to supplement the freeway system by accommodating a significant portion of the long-distance, high volume automobile and commercial vehicle traffic in the region. In Buffalo Grove there are five major arterials, including Dundee Road (IL 68), Half Day Road (IL 22), Lake Cook Road, McHenry Road (IL 83), and Milwaukee Avenue (US 45/IL 21). Half Day Road, Lake Cook Road, and Milwaukee Avenue are part of the SRA system as is McHenry Road south of Lake Cook Road. The major arterials in the Village are generally four-lane roadways with a center median accommodating leftturn movements at intersections although the eastern segment of Lake Cook Road and the southern segment of Milwaukee Avenue are six-lane roadways. All major arterials are controlled by IDOT with the exception of Lake Cook Road which is controlled by Cook County. The major arterials carry traffic volumes ranging from 15,200 to 45,800 vehicles per day (vpd). Parking is not permitted on the major arterials.

115

Minor Arterials

Collectors

Minor arterials augment the major arterials by accommodating somewhat shorter trips to and from residential neighborhoods, commercial areas, employment centers and recreational activity areas at the community level. As such, operating speeds and road capacity may be less than that of the major arterials, with less stringent controls on property access. Minor arterials in Buffalo Grove include Aptakisic Road, Arlington Heights Road (south of IL 83), Buffalo Grove Road, Deerfield Parkway, Hicks Road (IL 53), Prairie Road, and Weiland Road.

The collector system is designed to support the arterial network. Collector roads consist of medium-capacity, medium volume roads that have limited continuity and serve to distribute traffic between the higher-level arterials and the lower-level local roads. Collectors typical operate with lower speeds than arterials and provide some direct land access but to a more limited degree than local roads.

The minor arterials in the Village are generally four-lane roadways with a center median accommodating left-turn movements at intersections. Prairie Road, the western segments of Aptakisic Road and Hicks Road, and the northern segments of Weiland Road are two- to threelanes wide. The minor arterials are generally controlled by IDOT, Cook County or Lake County with the exception of Prairie Road north of Half Day Road which is under Village control. The minor arterials carry traffic volumes ranging from 6,400 to 23,700 vpd and parking is not permitted on the roadways.

Major collectors in Buffalo Grove include Arlington Heights Road (north of IL 83), Barclay Boulevard, Checker Road, Old Checker Road, and Thompson Boulevard (west of Buffalo Grove Road). Minor collectors include Bernard Drive, Brandywyn Lane, Busch Parkway, Golfview Terrace (south of Raupp Boulevard), Highland Grove Drive, Main Street, Pauline Avenue, Raupp Boulevard, Thompson Boulevard (east of Buffalo Grove Road), and Weidner Road. All are under Village control. The Village-controlled collectors are generally two-lane roadways built within an 80-foot right-of-way with parking permitted on one or both sides of the roadway. The major collectors carry traffic volumes ranging from 1,900 to 13,700 vehicles per day. The minor collectors generally carry less than 3,000 vehicles per day.

Local Roads Local roads provide direct access to private property and are accessed from arterial and collector roads. Trip lengths on local roads are typically short and volumes and speeds are typically low. All remaining roadways in Buffalo Grove not mentioned above are classified as local roads and are generally two-lane roadways built within a right-of-way ranging from 60 feet for residential roadways to 80 feet for industrial/business park roadways. Parking is typically permitted on one or both sides of the local roads.

Truck Routes Truck routes are typically roadways that provide continuous regional travel and/or are designed to support heavy commercial traffic while avoiding residential areas. IDOT has established a Designated State Truck Route System that consists of three classifications of roadways (Class I, II and III), each with specific design standards and maximum legal vehicle dimensions and loaded weights. The Village of Buffalo Grove also has a local truck route system that is concentrated in the innovation, research, and advanced manufacturing hub along Busch Parkway and Barclay Boulevard and connects private industry with the State truck route system.

Roadway Network Continuity The arterial and collector roadways in the Village are spaced at efficient intervals ranging from Â˝-mile to one mile and generally provide good continuity through the Village and into the adjoining communities. The Canadian National Railway creates a significant barrier to eastwest travel in the Village which is only penetrated by the arterial roadways (Buffalo Grove Road, IL 22, Deerfield Parkway, Lake Cook Road). The Buffalo Grove Golf Course also constrains east-west and north-south road continuity towards the center of the community.

Existing Conditions Report Transportation

The continuity of Weiland Road is hampered at McHenry Road by the skewed alignment of Aptakisic Road. There are two north-south arterial pathways through the center of the Village, one along Buffalo Grove Road and the other along Weiland Road/Prairie Road/Main Street. The Buffalo Grove Road path is continuous throughout the community. The Weiland Road/Prairie Road path is not currently aligned at Aptakisic Road and is offset by 1/3mile. The continuity of Old Checker Road between Buffalo Grove Road and McHenry Road is constrained by the private street that extends through the Buffalo Grove Town Center. There are a few local streets that are presently stubbed but are either planned to be extended or have the potential to be extended in the future. Olive Hill Drive and Hoffman Drive will be extended as part of the Link Crossing development. Jordan Terrace and Margate Drive have the potential to be extended when adjoining property develops. N. Riverwalk Drive has the potential to be extended to Milwaukee Avenue opposite Johnson Drive if the adjoining property were to redevelop.

Roadway Network Capacity The Village’s arterial roadways convey the highest volumes of traffic through the community and provide connections to the freeway system, Metra stations, and the commercial and industrial areas of the Village. The adequacy of the current road capacity of each of the arterial roadways is discussed below. The collector streets and local streets are all two-lane roadways which provide adequate capacity to efficiently accommodate the current traffic volumes (less than 3,500 vehicles per day). Lake Cook Road – The current five-lane road capacity of Lake Cook Road is inadequate to effectively accommodate the current volume of traffic in the corridor (36,000-45,800 vpd). When combined with the short spacing between the signalized intersections at Buffalo Grove Road, McHenry Road and Weiland Road, substantial congestion occurs through the center of the community. Cook County’s Lake Cook Road improvement project will address this issue to the east of Raupp Boulevard. McHenry Road (IL 83) – This roadway carries approximately 15,200 vehicles per day between Arlington Heights Road and Lake Cook Road which is adequately accommodated by the current five-lane cross section. The five-lane road capacity to the north of IL 53, however, is inadequate to accommodate the current volume of traffic (45,300 vpd). Half Day Road (IL 22) – The traffic volume along Half Day Road currently ranges from 22,000 to 25,000 vehicles per day. The current five-lane cross section provides sufficient capacity to efficiently accommodate this level of traffic, except during peak commuting hours. Dundee Road (IL 68) – The traffic volume along Dundee Road currently ranges from 22,700 to 26,400 vehicles per day. The current five-lane cross section provides sufficient capacity to efficiently accommodate this level of traffic, except during peak commuting hours.

120

Milwaukee Avenue (IL 21) - The traffic volume along Milwaukee Avenue currently ranges from 32,700 to 33,900 vehicles per day. This volume of traffic is adequately accommodated by the six-lane cross section between Lake Cook Road and Prague Avenue, however, the transition to a five-lane cross-section north of Prague Avenue results in traffic delays and congestion during the peak periods. IDOT’s ultimate plan for Milwaukee Avenue would continue the six-lane cross section through the Village, which would reduce the congestion along the roadway. Buffalo Grove Road – This roadway carries approximately 11,400 vehicles per day through the corridor. The current five-lane cross section provides sufficient capacity to efficiently accommodate this level of traffic. Arlington Heights Road – This roadway carries approximately 23,100 vehicles per day through the corridor. The current five-lane cross section provides sufficient capacity to efficiently accommodate this level of traffic. Traffic delays at the Lake Cook Road intersection occur during peak periods due to the traffic signal phasing plan that favors Lake Cook Road. Aptakisic Road – The traffic volume along Aptakisic Road currently ranges from 6,400 to 18,400 vehicles per day. The current five-lane cross section east of Buffalo Grove Road provides sufficient capacity to accommodate this level of traffic but the existing three-lane cross section to the west of Buffalo Grove Road is near capacity and is unable to accommodate future traffic demands from additional development and lack of alternate routes. The Lake County Division of Transportation has plans to widen section of Aptakisic Road which will address the road capacity issues.

DRAFT For Review

Buffalo Grove Comprehensive Plan Transportation

Deerfield Parkway – The traffic volume along Deerfield Parkway currently ranges from 11,900 to 16,600 vehicles per day. The current five-lane cross section provides sufficient capacity to efficiently accommodate this level of traffic. Hicks Road (IL 53) - This roadway carries approximately 23,700 vehicles per day along the segment of Hicks Road adjacent to the Village that is within the Village. While the current five-lane cross section between IL 83 and Old McHenry Road is adequate to accommodate this volume, Hicks Road transitions to a two-lane roadway to the west of Old McHenry Road, which results in congestion during peak periods. Prairie Road – The traffic volume along Prairie Road currently ranges from 6,450 to 11,800 vehicles per day. The current three-lane cross section provides sufficient capacity to efficiently accommodate this level of traffic. Weiland Road – The traffic volume along Weiland Road currently ranges from 10,400 to 13,700 vehicles per day. This level of traffic is adequately accommodated by the current five-lane cross section between Lake Cook Road and Armstrong Drive but is nearing the capacity of the three-lane roadway to the north of Armstrong Drive. The Lake County Division of Transportation is currently underway with a road widening project that will extend the five-lane cross section north to Aptakisic Road.

Traffic Controls There are 52 traffic signal-controlled intersections in the Village, all located along arterial or major collector roadways under IDOT, Cook County or Lake County control. The remaining intersections in the Village are generally under stop or yield control. Many of the traffic signals along the arterial corridors in Buffalo Grove are interconnected into a signal system maintained by IDOT, Cook County or Lake County to provide traffic progression and traffic flow efficiency. Further, all of the traffic signals in Lake County, and some along Lake Cook Road, are tied into LCDOT’s Passage system (Program for Arterial Signal Synchronization and Travel Guidance) through a fiber optic network. PASSAGE is an Intelligent Transportation System designed to make real-time signal timing adjustments and provide immediate motorist information due to crashes and construction events. The following intersections may warrant traffic signal control in the future with traffic volume growth from planned or potential development/redevelopment projects. •• •• •• •• ••

Sustainable Vehicles

Public Transit

There are currently no car-sharing services (ZipCar, etc.) operating in the Village, which contributes to increased auto use and parking needs, higher household automobile ownership rates, and more household income devoted to transportation costs. Electric vehicle charging stations are located at Woodmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market, Buffalo Grove High School, The Arbors of Buffalo Grove, Arboretum Club, and Walgreens (15 N Buffalo Grove Rd). The Village should pursue these services to provide more travel options to residents and a healthier living environment.

Public transportation service in the Village of Buffalo Grove is provided by Metra commuter rail, Pace suburban bus, Vernon Township, and Wheeling Township. These services provide convenient transportation alternatives for Village residents, employees and visitors that travel between the Village, the City of Chicago, and the greater Chicago region.

Air Transportation

Freight Rail

The nearest regularly scheduled airline passenger services to the Village of Buffalo Grove is located in Chicago at Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hare International Airport approximately 10 miles south of the Village. The nearest public facility providing general aviation services is located in Wheeling at Chicago Executive Airport approximately three miles southeast of the Village.

There is one freight-moving railroad that traverses Buffalo Grove. The Canadian National (CN) Railway carries approximately 14 to 22 freight trains per day along the double-track railroad (triple-track south of Deerfield Parkway) that extends in a northwest-southeast direction from north of Buffalo Grove Road to south of Lake Cook Road. The railway passes beneath Lake Cook Road and crosses Deerfield Parkway, Aptakisic Road, Half Day Road, and Buffalo Grove Road at-grade. The grade crossings are enhanced with vehicular safety features (automatic flashing light signals and gates, warning signs and pavement markings). Pedestrian gates are only located at the Deerfield Parkway crossing. All of the grade crossings are part of a Federal Railroad Administration-approved Quiet Zone which minimizes train horn noise through the Village. There are two rail spurs off of the railway which provide freight service to Nemera Corporation at 600 Deerfield Parkway and Flextronics International, Ltd. (Flex, Ltd.) at 700 Corporate Grove Drive. The CN Railway is also used by Metraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North Central Service Line.

Intercity Passenger Train Service The nearest Amtrak intercity passenger train service is located approximately 9 miles southeast of the Village of Buffalo Grove in downtown Glenview for routes to Milwaukee and destinations to the Northeast and approximately 25 miles southeast of the Village in downtown Chicago (Union Station) for destinations to other parts of the United States.

Intercity Bus Service The nearest intercity bus service to Buffalo Grove is provided by Greyhound Lines and Burlington Trailways in downtown Chicago approximately 25 miles southeast of the Village.

Buffalo Grove Comprehensive Plan Transportation

Bicycle and Pedestrian System Communities strive to develop a comprehensive bicycle and pedestrian system to promote mobility by non-auto means and to encourage an active, healthy lifestyle. The bicycle and pedestrian systems in Buffalo Grove are extensive and extend to all corners of the Village. The system consists of a network of bicycle trails, side paths, and sidewalks along one or both sides of most roadways. There are gaps in the system that remain to be filled to complete the network within the community and connect with the networks in the adjoining communities.

Regional Trails There are two regional bicycle trails in near Buffalo Grove. The Des Plaines River Trail is a 31.4-mile gravel trail that follows the riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge and extends nearly the entire length of Lake County from Russell Road in Wadsworth south to Lake Cook Road in Wheeling where it continues south another 22.1 miles through Cook County to River Grove. The trail winds through 12 Lake County forest preserves and can be accessed from Half Day Road, Marriott Drive, Riverside Road and Aptakisic Road in Lincolnshire, Deerfield Road in Riverwoods, and Riverwalk Drive in Buffalo Grove.

Buffalo Grove Bicycle Network The Village has a network of trails that extend through the public parks, ComEd utility corridor, and many of the residential neighborhoods. A few of these trails extend through lowlands or wetland areas and tend to flood or ice over after rain/snow events making them impassible. In addition, all of the arterial roadways and major collector roadways in the Village have side paths along various segments of the roadways. There are, however, several gaps in the bicycle system that remain to be filled. In addition, Lake Cook Road is barrier to bicycle travel between the Lake County and Cook County sides of the Village and the discomfort-level in crossing the roadway at-grade will increase in the future when the road is widened by Cook County, although the level of discomfort may be eased a bit by the introduction of pedestrian signals at the signal-controlled intersections.. Grade-separated crossings currently exist on Lake Cook Road east of Milwaukee Avenue, McHenry Road west of Buffalo Grove Road, and Arlington Heights Road south of Checker Road. The Lake Cook Corridor Plan includes a bicycle bridge over Lake Cook Road in the vicinity of the Buffalo Creek crossing. The forest preserves and most of the Village’s schools and public parks have bicycle paths but a few do not have paths or have paths that do not connect with the greater bicycle system in the Village. Notable facilities include: •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• •• ••

A second connection to the park can also be created from the south by continuing the bike path on the east side of Old Arlington Heights Road from Miller Road north to Dundee Road and by extending a new easterly path within a private easement near the south property line of the former automobile dealership sites.

Bison Park may be underutilized but has the potential to supplement the athletic/recreational fields at Buffalo Grove High School. The bicycle and pedestrian connection between the high school and park can be enhanced by

Bicycle Network in Adjoining Communities The surrounding communities of Arlington Heights, Lincolnshire, Long Grove, Riverwoods, Vernon Hills, and Wheeling all have their own bicycle networks and plans for future facilities. The bicycle facilities in many of these communities extend to the Buffalo Grove municipal limits and have the potential to connect with the Villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bicycle system.

Bicycle Parking

Bicycle racks are not provided in most of the public parks, the Community Arts Center, the Buffalo Creek Forest Preserve, and many of the religious institutions and employment centers.

Pedestrian System Gaps All of the arterial and collector roadways in the Village have sidewalk or a bike path on one or both sides of the road. A few of these roadways have sidewalk gaps that remain to be filled.

There is a limited amount of bicycle parking provided within the Village. Most of the municipal facilities feature wave-style or schoolyard-style bicycle racks, including Village Hall, Public Service Center, Police headquarters, and Post Office. Racks are also located at all of the public and private schools and in several of the larger commercial centers (Buffalo Grove Town Center, The Grove) and business parks (Buffalo Grove Business Park).

Pedestrian Crossings Other than the grade-separated crossings noted above, the signalized intersections along the Village’s arterial and collector roadways are the safest locations for pedestrians and bicyclists to cross the street. Most of the signalized intersections in the Village have crosswalks and pedestrian signals but many are missing these safety elements on some of the approaches. Further, many of the crosswalks at these intersections are worn or of the standard parallel line style that is less visible to motorists. Most of the pedestrian signals in the Village feature countdown displays with the exception of those along Lake Cook Road. Many of the pedestrian crossings also have curb ramps that are not compliant with ADA standards. Despite these safety features, the physical width of some of the major crossings causes discomfort for many residents, such as at the intersections of Dundee Road/Arlington Heights Road or Dundee Road/Buffalo Grove Road. Potential improvements to be pursued with IDOT and the County DOT’s include the reconstruction of the medians with decorative pavers or landscaping, extensions of the medians through the crosswalks, and expansion and upgrades of the corner islands. The existing unprotected crosswalk on Arlington Heights Road next to Buffalo Grove High School is a significant safety concern. A relocation of the crossing to the high school’s north driveway, combined with enhancements to the roadway median, would partially allay the concern. The possibility of signalizing the Arlington Heights Road intersection with the north driveway would further enhance pedestrian crossing safety. Source: Google Earth Pro

Complete Streets A “complete street” is a roadway that is designed to be safe for all users of the transportation network, including motorists, transit riders, bicyclists and pedestrians. IDOT adopted design policy changes in response to the 2007 Complete Streets state law, which requires the agency to construct bicycle and pedestrian ways when an urban roadway is constructed, reconstructed, or widened. Cook County and Lake County adopted complete streets policies in 2011 for application on the County highway system. The Village of Buffalo Grove has followed suit through the recent (October 2019) adoption of its own Complete Streets policy, which will be used as a guide for application on the Village-controlled roadways in the future.

Travel Patterns and Behavior Tracking travel patterns of Buffalo Grove’s working residents and those employed in the Village conveys awareness of the number of people traveling into and out of the community each day for work, the primary communities in which Buffalo Grove residents work, and the primary communities in which Buffalo Grove workers reside. Tracking travel behavior of Buffalo Grove’s working residents also provides insights into how the community moves around town and how much Buffalo Grove’s households spend on transportation. It also provides a benchmark for comparison with the travel patterns of all Lake County and Cook County communities combined and the greater Chicago region as a whole.

Mode of Travel

Travel Time

A high proportion (79.5%) of Buffalo Grove residents drive alone to work due in part to the limited public transportation services available in the Village and in part to the many suburban locations where Village residents are employed. A much smaller proportion of residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; carpool to work, commute by public transportation, walk or bike to work, or work at home. The table below shows the commuter travel modes by Buffalo Groveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working residents in comparison to the travel modes of residents of Cook County, Lake County and the Chicago region as a whole. As shown, the travel patterns of Buffalo Grove residents are most comparable to those of other residents of Lake County.

The location of Buffalo Grove at the border between Lake and Cook counties contributes to auto commuting times that are similar to other suburban communities in Cook County. Approximately 73.2% of residents are able to drive to their jobs in less than 45 minutes. However, the limited public transit service in the Village contributes to longer commuter travel times by transit (only 26.6% of trips are under one hour) when compared to the average transit commuting times for Cook and Lake counties and the Chicago region as a whole.

Spending on Transportation

Approximately 82.8% of Buffalo Grove households have two or more vehicles available, again very comparable to the average household in Lake County. The average annual vehicle miles traveled (VMT) per household in Buffalo Grove is also comparable to the aggregate of Lake County but higher than the aggregate of Cook County and the Chicago region as a whole, which is partially attributed to the number of vehicles per household.

140

Affordability of a community can be measured in terms of the average percentage of household income devoted to housing and transportation costs, with a threshold of 45% or less being representative of an affordable community. A typical household in Buffalo Grove making the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s median income ($61,828) would spend 63% of their household income on the combined costs of housing and transportation, making Buffalo Grove comparable to the aggregate of communities in Lake County but less affordable than the aggregate other communities in Cook County and the Chicago region.

The Northwest Municipal Conference (NWMC) 2010 Bicycle Plan, December 2010, identifies 16 bicycle corridors grouped into a three-tier system of prioritization. There are six Tier One corridors, five Tier Two corridors and five Tier Three corridors. Tier One corridors have the greatest regional impact, extend through the most communities, and have good connectivity to major destinations and transit facilities. Tier Two and Tier Three corridors serve multiple communities on a more localized scale and have good-to-fair connectivity to major destinations and transit facilities but may have barriers to overcome. The NWMC plan also includes ancillary improvements such as regional destination signage, bicycle parking facilities, and the implementation of Complete Streets policies.

Water

Sanitary

The Village currently receives Lake Michigan water via the Northwest Water Commission. The water goes to our four pumping stations and reservoirs throughout the Village. All water delivered to the Village of Buffalo Grove by the Northwest Water Commission is water pumped from Lake Michigan. The City of Evanston is the sole supplier of finished, treated water to the Commission. The City of Evanston pumps and treats the lake water at their treatment plant. This plant provides conventional treatment (i.e. mixing, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration) of the raw water from the lake to provide a finished high-quality water product.

The Village straddles the Lake-Cook County boundary. The 7.2 square miles of the Village north of the county boundary is served by approximately 145 miles of sanitary sewers. This area is part of the Lake County Southeast Sanitary Sewer Service Area. The 2.1 square miles south of the county boundary is served by approximately 15 miles of sanitary sewers and drains to the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) sanitary sewer system. All sanitary sewers within the Village range in size from 6 to 42-inches in diameter. The Village sewer fee is $1.25 per 1,000 gallons of water used. Within Lake County, there is also a $4.08 sanitary sewer pass-through fee.

The Commission purchases the finished water at the Evanston water plant and then transports it through a 60-inch water transmission main to a 25-million-gallon reservoir at the main pumping station. The Commission’s main pumping station, in turn, pumps the finished water out into the Commission’s distribution system to the Village of Buffalo Grove’s four receiving reservoirs.

Storm/Floodplain/Drainage

The chlorine level of the finished water is monitored at each of the four receiving stations and, if necessary, additional chlorine is added to protect against microbial contaminants before it is pumped into our distribution system. Finally, the water reaches customers via 181 miles of water main. Buffalo Grove owns and maintains the water mains that distribute water throughout the Village. Buffalo Grove also owns the meter that reads the water usage. The Village charges $5.12 per 1,000 gallons of water. No violations have been reported on the Village water system in the last 5 years.

The general drainage pattern of the watersheds is from west to east, ultimately to the Des Plaines River. The Village’s internal drainage consists of primarily a closed system consisting of storm sewer with curb and gutter, totally over 260 miles of storm sewer mains. There are 152 stormwater outfall points that are maintained by various entities, including the Village, IDOT, Lake County and Private owners. Milwaukee Avenue is owned and maintained by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and Lake-Cook Road is owned and maintained by Cook County. All drainage structures within the right-ofway limits area are under the jurisdiction of the respective agencies.

Floodplain There are six distinct named watercourses in the Village limits: Buffalo Creek, Farrington Ditch, Aspen Ditch, White Pine Ditch, Aptakisic Creek, and a Tributary to Aptakisic Creek, in addition to other unnamed tributaries. There are no waterway crossings associated with any of the creeks along the Milwaukee Avenue corridor; however, the main stem of Buffalo Creek flows from north to south under Lake-Cook Road just west of Buffalo Grove Road. At this location, there is Zone AE regulatory floodplain, which are considered as 100-year floodplain, and floodway within the right-of-way.

152

Street Lighting and Overhead Utilities Generally, the major roadways within the Village have street lighting and overhead utilities. Residential neighborhoods generally have underground power lines and also have street lighting.

National Wetlands Inventory A field wetland assessment was not completed; however, based on the review of the National Wetlands Inventory, there are 162 acres of wetlands throughout the Village.

Buffalo Grove Comprehensive Plan Infrastructure

Open Space and Parks The Village benefits from a wide range of environmental resources including rivers, lakes, wetlands, and ponds within the Village limits, many of which are protected by local, county, state and federal regulations. Approximately 14% of the Village of Buffalo Grove is parks and open space. The largest open parcel is home to the Buffalo Grove Golf Club, which is located in the regulatory FEMA floodplain and floodway of Buffalo Creek and Farrington Ditch. The Village’s 2018 Lake-Cook Corridor Market Study and Plan identified this area with the potential to remain, become repurposed into other open space and civic uses, and/or reconfigured into feature open space as well as development.

Existing Conditions Report Infrastructure

The Village’s parks and open space system is wellregarded by residents and is one of the Village’s critical assets. Generally, the Village’s park and open space is well connected with each other with a robust network of trails. Some gaps in trail connection remain though, and they present opportunities for the Village to fill in these gaps. The Village should prioritize filling in gaps in areas within the primary neighborhood nodes, as discussed in Chapter 3: Land Use & Development.

Planning Next Steps The Existing Conditions Report identifies the challenges and opportunities in the Village that will be developed in detail in the next deliverable, the Key Recommendations. The Key Recommendations will include a community vision and accompanying goals and objectives that support the implementation of the recommendations. In the Existing Conditions Report, there were several opportunities throughout the Village and specifically, in the corridors, that will be investigated for their development opportunities and near-term implementation. These opportunities are as follows:

Community Infrastructure Improvements The Village has set aside $170 million over five years for the improvement of public infrastructure and roads with its Infrastructure Modernization Program. With this reinvestment in neighborhoods, the Village intends to prioritize aging neighborhoods in the south part of the Village to ensure property values and desirability is preserved. In coordination with IDOT, the focus for these engineering improvements will be Weiland Road, LakeCook Road, Aptikisic Road, and Buffalo Grove Road. IDOT has also identified Arlington Heights Road, Dundee Road, and Route 83 for long-range improvements. Focusing on funding and other public investment in these key areas will concentrate improvements in the Village and provide infrastructure for private investment to follow.

Prioritize Walkability and Connectivity

development in the Village. Land use and buffering requirements along major corridors will be investigated for design consistency and safety. Five nodes have been identified for priority investment. These nodes are: •• Buffalo Grove Town Center (Lake-Cook Road and Route 83) •• Plaza at Buffalo Grove (Dundee Road and Buffalo Grove Road) •• Buffalo Grove High School. (Dundee Road and Arlington Heights Road) •• Prairie View Station Area •• Rylko Park Civic Center (Route 83 and Buffalo Grove Road)

Housing Diversity As discussed in the existing conditions report, housing choice in the Village is limited. In 2018, there were 2,500 permits issued for residential and commercial development. For the Village to remain competitive in the region, attract new residents, and accommodate existing residents throughout all phases of life, consideration for more housing diversity should be considered. The annexation of areas in the Village that may be suitable for residential development in addition to the redevelopment of existing sites is near-term implementation goals. New housing should consider mobility concerns with seniors, affordability for young adults, and expansion for young families. Infill development in existing neighborhoods and higher density, mixed-use housing around transit stations will be prioritized for incentives and synergy with other public investment projects.

As mentioned and analyzed in the existing conditions report, the sidewalk and trail systems are generally contiguous and connect throughout the Village. However, gaps in the pedestrian and bike system should be completed to ensure the centers of activity and pubic investment are leveraged. In the future, a growing number of seniors will drive a market for housing variety. This active group also enjoys being near to daily amenities. Therefore, neighborhood and local convenience shopping reached through trails and sidewalks will facilitate additional 160

Buffalo Grove Comprehensive Plan Next Steps

Large Site Development The Village has several large site opportunities that will be investigated for their development potential in the next phase of the comprehensive plan. These development opportunities are relatively complex and require partners and, in some cases, multi-jurisdictional cooperation. The following properties should be considered for development: Didier Property. This is a 25 acre property southeast of Buffalo Grove Road and Aptikisic Road. The current land use of this property is commercial. The need for additional residential development of varying typologies and increased density may be considered on this property. Commercial development in this area of the Village is primarily neighborhood servicing or for convenience purposes. However, site control, access, circulation, and ownership create challenges for this property. A portion of the site would be required for annexation into the Village as well. Sustainability Plan. In 2019, the Village adopted a sustainability plan that identified a variety of strategies for Buffalo Grove to have a more energy-efficient future. The Village desires to partner with existing employers, such as Siemens, located in Buffalo Grove, to create both permanent installations and demonstration areas to raise awareness and generate energy for the Village. Community solar will be evaluated for its life-time cost and savings to the existing utility grid. Currently, the Village owns most of the detention ponds in the Village. This presents a long-term opportunity to construct energy generating centers and low-maintenance landscapes throughout the Village. The Sustainability Plan should be referenced for goals related to conservation and coordinated with any new strategies presented in the Comprehensive Plan. Milwaukee Avenue. Land and Lakes Landfill (58 acres) and the 30 acres landfill at 1195 Milwaukee Avenue represent two very large development opportunities in the Village. While the process of annexation would need to occur on the Flanagan Property, each site presents a unique addition to the community. As the economic climate changes and large scale retail development becomes more challenging, Buffalo Grove may begin to contemplate the location of a regional Existing Conditions Report Next Steps

shopping destination in this location near Deerfield Road. Residential housing that contributes to the vitality of this existing node may also be well-suited to a location buffered from Milwaukee Road with access to the Des Plaines River. Land and Lakes has been positioned to receive an industrial user or multiple users. The topography of the site is conducive to two or more uses. Synergies with adjacent commercial development in Lincolnshire should be reviewed prior to evaluating development proposals for industrial and their complementary uses.

Employment Centers Buffalo Grove is home to a number of successful manufacturing and industrial businesses. Regionally, this industry sector is growing and demand is increasing for buildings that can accommodate businesses that specialize in emerging technologies and innovation industries. Some existing buildings in Buffalo Grove’s business and Research/light industrial area can not currently accommodate this demand. However, there is an opportunity for this area – defined by land use and regulatory environment – to preserve space for future users interested in locating in a community near transit. Specific site evaluations should assess existing buildings, their assets, adaptability and, rehabilitation or renovation potential. The perception of this area in Buffalo Grove is one of homogeny – singular use buildings that are internally facing. The future of these areas may include transition uses on sites that are not ideal for research/light industrial and may add vibrancy or artistry to the district. Concurrently, the Village will need to review existing permitting requirements to ensure the future of the industrial district reflects Buffalo Grove’s growth-oriented future.

Next Deliverable In the next deliverable, the consultant team will draft a vision statement for the community, key goals, and recommendations that will be included in the Draft Comprehensive Plan. A second public workshop will be hosted to solicit input from Village stakeholders.

Each map represented a topic area, and they were the following: • Residential Areas • Commercial, Office, and Industrial Areas • Parks, Open Space, and Natural Resources • Public Transit System • Roadway System An additional map depicted potential ‘Village Nodes’ in the Village. They are situated at existing clusters of commercial activities with a ½ mile radius around them. The map showed the Village’s potential to have multiple ‘neighborhood nodes’ rather than one and centralized downtown. These nodes would have a variety of activities and options where residents who live nearby can drive, bike, or walk to access the nodes. Participants shared their thoughts on the maps by writing their comments on stick notes. The following images show the maps with the sticky notes.

BUFFALO GROVE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: DUNDEE ROAD AND MILWAUKEE AVENUE CORRIDORS

SUMMARY OF COMMUNITY FEEDBACK, DRAFT NOV 19, 2019 GENERAL COMMENTS • •

• • • • •

Village needs better branding Buffalo Grove’s general appearance should be a major focus of Village leadership. Look at Wheeling, its beautification program is paying off. Make this an attractive place and most other issues will take care of themselves. Look at Arlington Heights, it has actually become a destination. Maybe BG should shift some focus on tax revenue from strip malls to making the Village a desirable place to live. Right now it is just a place to drive through enroute to somewhere else. Social Engineering – demographics, diversity, can be resolved by attracting people to a “beautiful” Buffalo Grove Become the “residential destination of choice” for people commuting to large headquarters in nearby areas Zoro is a hub of Grainger and is in the Village. Can we get more business here? The Village has no defined “center”, an area with a clear “sense of place” “Town Center” is no longer attractive and appears in disrepair

DUNDEE ROAD CORRIDOR STRENGTHS AND ASSETS • • • • •

Buffalo Grove High School is a major anchor and a strong asset for the corridor as well as the Village The corridor is already mixed-use with significant multifamily housing interspersed with commercial uses More affordable housing choices This is the original corridor around which the Village grew Safe, no crime

MAJOR WEAKNESSES AND ISSUES NO COHESIVE IDENTITY, UNATTRACTIVE APPEARANCE • • • • • •

Aging buildings and architecture No sense of a “center” or major activity hub within the corridor No outdoor place for gathering Lack of thriving businesses and outdated strip centers will not attract new residents Empty commercial properties Need safe and more attractive intersections

DRAFT For Review

• • • • • •

Pedestrian friendly streetscape should replace car-oriented unattractive street appearance Need a Plaza or Gathering Place, “Downtown or Urban Vibe” Place Need more Nature or Greenery and Trails Movie Theater More Restaurants The economic perception for Cook County versus Lake County

CAR ORIENTED CORRIDOR, MINIMAL PEDESTRIAN APPEAL • • • • • •

Unsafe and difficult for pedestrians to cross Dundee Avenue Consider a pedestrian bridge, could also create a “gateway” feature and reflect a sense of community Improve traffic flow Better coordination is needed for turn movements Too many curbcuts, lack of sidewalk continuity Medians are not landscaped throughout the corridor

LACK OF TRAILS AND CONNECTIONS • • •

Need for a connected trail system that connects major destinations and open spaces within the corridor as well as the whole Village and outside regional trails Safe crossings are needed for trails across major roads Strong support for new trails

EXISTING STRIP RETAIL CENTERS AT RISK • • • • •

There are quite a lot of strip retail centers lining the corridor with rising vacancies (need to confirm). Dated buildings, not very attractive. Car oriented, with surface parking lots in the front, minimal pedestrian appeal or connections. Strong preference to replace strip centers with more mixed-use developments Reduce commercial space. Replace, rezone to allow more housing.

NEW COMMERCIAL USES • • • •

How to attract and sustain new commercial uses? Need more good restaurants and new breweries / pubs Fewer chain and fast food restaurants Other commercial ideas: o More health-related stores o Medical uses o Bring back Verizon o Experiential retail o More unique small businesses

DRAFT For Review

o o

More gathering spots like bars, coffee shops, small venues for live music, like Highwood Movie theater

FORMER ROHRMAN’S VACANT SITE AND BISON PARK • •

•

Bison Park is a very underutilized open space. Limited visibility from the road. Strange shape and lacks reason to go there. Students and staff from the high school strongly support the idea of improving the park significantly into a place they can use. Safe crossing across the road to the park will be key. A potential ped bridge would be welcome. Ideas from students and others for park programming included: o Nature Garden o Community Garden o Music /Small Performance Space o Skating Park o Lacrosse Field o More Trails o Safe connections to school o Sensory Park o Multi sports o Soccer/Football, tennis, baseball o Photo Op for School Events

NEED FOR NEW MULTIFAMILY, ESPECIALLY APARTMENTS • • •

• • • • • •

Corridor offers significant stock of condos and townhomes, but not much in terms of new multifamily development. New quality apartments are needed, especially to serve empty nesters and seniors. There are no rowhouses (rear loaded attached multifamily homes) in the corridor. This product would be a welcome addition as an owner-occupied housing option. Parking should be in the rear. Luxury Apartments, like the 444 Social in Lincolnshire, would be great if the market can attract this kind of product More high-end condos and rowhouses like the Glen with a sense of “city living” More senior / assisted care housing More high-rise apartments and condos with green area and parks Property that is maintenance free Row houses with no outdoor upkeep, zero lot lines, 3 story

NEED FOR MORE WALKABLE, MIXED USE CENTERS •

More multifamily housing choices needed where residents can walk to restaurants and shops

DRAFT For Review

•

Neighboring communities like Wheeling, Arlington Heights and Lincolnshire all have invested in developing mixed-use centers. Why is BG not doing the same?

MORE SENIOR HOUSING IS NEEDED • •

Corridor needs new and more diverse senior housing choices within walkable settings Senior housing can help offset school costs

BUFFALO GROVE HIGH SCHOOL AND THE SOUTH ARLINGTON HTS ROAD INTERSECTION • • •

• • • • • • •

Many students walk and bike to school. School bus service is not available for students living within – miles. Better sidewalk and trail connections are needed to school The intersection at South Arlington Heights Road is highly unattractive and designed for car traffic. Students and staff cross this intersection frequently to go to Starbucks and other stores. Intersection needs to be improved to prioritize pedestrian and bike safety. Crossing involves having to stop in the curbed median before the turn lane, very unsafe. The midblock striped pedestrian crossing north of the intersection (before Strathmore Court) is dangerous and could be eliminated with improvements to the intersection The school would like a future traffic signal at the main entrance drive north of Strathmore Court Major concerns over flooding especially of play fields School supports the idea of a perimeter trail in their campus No plans for more expansion or new facilities Corner has monument sign and a native garden area. Appearance could be improved. Bus stand on Dundee Avenue has no shelter.

THE BUFFALO GROVE AND DUNDEE ROAD INTERSECTION • • • • • • • • •

Unattractive car-oriented intersection No pedestrian appeal or scale Lack of trails and connections Garden Fresh Market is strong anchor for the Plaza at Buffalo Grove retail center at the northwest corner Buildings are dated with large surface parking lot in the front Parking lot is never full for the overall center Everyone drives to the center, no one seems to walk to the shops New fitness center is coming to the southeast corner, will reuse existing building Cambridge Park to the south looks dated

DRAFT For Review

MILWAUKEE AVENUE CORRIDOR STRENGTHS AND ASSETS • • • • •

Strong commercial corridor Traffic volumes support commercial development New Woodman’s is a strong anchor and will bring more people to the corridor Exiting large office complex at the Lake Cook interchange is a strong anchor Opportunities for new industrial uses

MAJOR WEAKNESSES AND ISSUES • • • •

Improve traffic and circulation Connect to the Des Plaines River Trail Multiple municipal jurisdictions create lack of a cohesive identity Car oriented street with no pedestrian appeal

DES PLAINES RIVER CONNECTION • •

Strong support to connect to the 56 miles of Des Plaines River Trails to the east Currently, bicyclists go up to Lincolnshire to access the trail system

PEDESTRIAN AND TRAIL CONNECTION •

Need for connecting the two sides of the Corridor with safer pedestrian and trail connections

NEW USES • • •

More commercial Medical Uses Entertainment, restaurants and new housing to complement existing mixed-use development at Aptakisic Road in Lincolnshire

TRAFFIC • •

IDOT needs to improve traffic light coordination for better flow Better coordination is needed for turn movements

HOUSING • • •

Need more affordable housing More housing will support business growth Who lives here? Melting pot! Many here do not socialize, do not eat out, thus no bars. Provide more housing for carefree living, no more single family homes

In addition to the strides that Buffalo Grove has made in becoming more sustainable, the Village should encourage public and private organizations to undertake sustainable development and operating practices that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own human, ecological, and economic needs.

Sustainability is good for people and for business. I would love to see more retail developers go net zero on their developments. I would also like to see mandating minimum recycling requirements for redevelopment of retail and commercial properties. Jason Greenberg Buffalo Grove, IL

There are several shopping centers throughout Buffalo Grove. Many of them were built decades ago and only some of them have had a facelift. In addition, most of them are walkable for a relatively small population in that area. Jason Greenberg Buffalo Grove, IL

Enhance pedestrian & bicycle safety along Dundee Road RATIO Dundee Road is a major corridor that carries tens of thousands of cars each day. As the road is oriented towards automobiles, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overtly friendly for pedestrians and bicyclists. Consequently, pedestrian and bicyclists cite safety concerns or avoid it altogether. Increasing the safety can help increase connectivity and attractiveness of the Corridor. Created: 10/25/19

Increase housing diversity to accommodate existing & new residents RATIO In order to improve the diversity of housing in Buffalo Grove, the development of accessory dwelling units, multi-family housing, townhomes, and other types should be explored. These types of units can accommodate seniors looking to age in place as well as young families and professionals. Created: 10/25/19

I am very glad to see this proposal. The housing in our community is not very diverse, mostly single family homes and town homes, which is not necessarily an issue on its own. However, expanding the types of housing offered in Buffalo Grove makes our village more attractive and inclusive to a wide range of people. More senior living options allow long-term residents the opportunity to stay in the community they love as they retire and age. Further, allowing tiny homes and accessory dwelling units makes our town more attractive to young professionals who want to stay near their families. Increasing housing diversity is imperative to keeping families together and ensuring the longevity of Buffalo Grove as a safe and inclusive community. Joseph Stevens

CLEAN AIR: more trees in parks and less heavy through-traffic on residential streets Martina Johneff

Recent developments in Buffalo Grove seem to go against our most vital resource - clean air! Too many trees cut down, and quiet residential streets, where our children should be able to play safe and happy, look now like mini highways, ridden with illegal through-traffic (especially Checker Rd, which cars from Lake Cook Rd to Deerfield Rd have turned into a race track). We need better thrutraffic regulation, and more trees planted to filter toxic polutants. Less concrete, more Nature! Vote for a green and clean Buffalo Grove! Created: 12/8/19
