A. Purpose. The purpose of an overlay plan is to set forth development policies for discrete areas with special needs to guide Village decisionmakers with respect to appropriate land use, subdivision, capital improvement, service delivery and other public sector programming within the geographical boundaries of the area encompassed by such plan. Such plans will permit the assembly of information at a more discrete level than is possible in the Comprehensive Plan and will thereby provide decisionmakers with more detailed information.
B. Scope of Plan.
An overlay plan may include the following components:
1. geographical area of the neighborhood to be included in the plan;
2. data on population, neighborhood attitudes, environmental issues, zoning, type of land use and the location, traffic patterns, quality and capacity of public facilities in the area;
3. existing, emerging and anticipated trends, problems, and resources in the area relating to land use development and other activities in the neighborhood;
4. a statement of the policies and objectives of the community with respect to land use, quality of life and environment;
5. proposed development, land use and other changes neighborhood residents wish to see implemented; and
6. the relationship between the CIP, Comprehensive Plan, and other Village policies and the particular neighborhood.
C. Effect. When an overlay plan has been approved by the Plan Commission and adopted by the Board of Trustees, it shall be known as "The Overlay Plan for ," and shall be an element of the Comprehensive Plan and shall have the same effect as the Comprehensive Plan as set forth in Section 4-101.
