Naperville City Council To Workshop Comprehensive Master Plan

NAPERVILLE, IL — The Naperville City Council will discuss proposed updates to its Comprehensive Master Plan on June 24. The current comprehensive plan, which provides guidance for the city's growth and development, was initially drafted and adopted in 1960 and is in need of updates, according to the meeting agenda.

To draft a new plan, Naperville has hired Houseal Lavigne Associates, a consulting firm that focuses on community planning. City officials say the updated plan will "reflect current development and demographic conditions in Naperville while identifying future trends and opportunities."

At the June 24 workshop, Houseal Lavigne Associates will present an overview of the comprehensive plan, its intended updates, and the scope of the work that will be involved.

Among the changes will be recommendations of land-use designations for 10 sites throughout Naperville. These sites include:

Property north of I-88 and south of I-88 to Diehl Road and west of Route 59 to Naperville's boundary

• Key sites along the Tollway Corridor
• Key sites along East Ogden Avenue
• Washington Street Corridor and other sites in north downtown Naperville
• Southeast corner of Route 59 and 103rd
• StarLine station area at 91st Street and 248th Avenue
• Spring Avenue from Mill Street to western end
• Northwest corner of Naper Boulevard and Planck Road to Ogden Avenue
• Area near Wehrli Road and 75th Street
• Southeast corner of Mill Street and Bauer Road

Other topics for consideration include improving sustainability in the city, addressing housing affordability, and updating Naperville's aging commercial areas.

During the workshop, city officials will touch on potential issues and solutions, along with projects that may be part of the updated comprehensive plan. Residents are welcome to ask questions and provide their own feedback as the city moves forward with its comprehensive plan.
