A comprehensive plan outlines a community’s vision of its future, as well as the process that will allow it to realize that vision. In addition to providing a well-defined framework for the community’s development and investment goals, the Village of Bensenville’s Comprehensive Plan seeks to explore and promote new opportunities in the face of changing community trends. Typically a comprehensive plan is written to provide guidance for a community to work towards its vision over the next 10-20 years. Although the Plan should be viewed as a long-term document, it should also be thought of as a plan to be used daily by the community to assist in land use and development decisions. The Plan serves as a guide for elected officials, municipal staff, community residents, business owners, and potential investors, allowing them to make informed administrative and implementation choices in community development decisions affecting land use, transportation, infrastructure, and capital improvements throughout the Village. A comprehensive plan should also be considered flexible and one that can adapt with change. At any time the municipality can update its comprehensive plan to match local needs, interests, or opportunities. It is typically recommended that a municipality update its comprehensive plan every five years to keep the plan as accurate as possible. A comprehensive plan is composed of a series of distinct yet interrelated elements defined within the Illinois Local Planning Assistance Act (Public Act 92-0768). The key elements addressed in the Bensenville Comprehensive Plan are based upon those outlined in the State Statute and include land use, economic development, housing, natural resources, transportation, community facilities, image and identity, and implementation strategies. Under the Illinois Municipal Code (65 ILCS) 5/11-12-5(1)), a municipal plan commission is responsible for preparing and recommending a “comprehensive plan for the present and future development or redevelopment of the municipality.” Introduction 5 Figure 1.1: Study Area Map Arlington Mount Des Plaines Heights Prospect P a M Bensenville Limits ci e C f DEVON AVE ic tr a McHenry a E Lake N n V EDGEWOOD AVE o U a A n r d Lake 90 L § E ¨¦ IROQUOIS LN County Boundary th io V i A a w n RA SPRUCE AVE M H n Michigan e S EASTERN AVE s NT A P N H e t IA a D ILL DR tr L CE IN c Unincorporated in EDGEWOOD AVE i a f e FRONTIER WAY i c 83 VU N Des R MARK o S T a T i Airport Runways r S l Plaines r ! t o S e h I a L T Kane d Elk Grove L C O 290 Bensenville E ¨¦§ W N e Village E n R Airport DuPage tr LN SUPREME DR a l R R Se D Chicago E D I2 S Metra Stations VU83 A r EM M Cook v O PR i H CHICAGO c T Kendall SU e D U Metra Rail Lines O'HARE T n L H K R O i INTL RN o i DA R Elk Grove n LE n AV E e P Freight Rail Lines N YO a Grundy Will Village c BRYN MAWR AVE i f GASOLINE ALY i c I R Rail Spurs LN BIRGINAL DR a i Aux Sable l r ON o S Township INDUS a TRIAL DR D d R O'Hare LAR Miles S A SIEVERT CT M 0 0.25 0.5 1 O FAIRWAY DR H Chicago T CHICAGO O'HARE FOSTER AVE INTL D R ITASCA ST RD R D R L L NORDIC ST B YE A H U Rosemont y L GOLF LN t ME S R C ELMHURST ST 190 Y n ¨¦§ BEELINE DR A M R y R Itasca u Rosemont t T D ARGYLE N o ST ARGYLE n ST U AS Itasca u O MAPLE LN C C STONEHAM ST o OM e TH LELAND CT g GREENVALLEY ST C Chicago EAGLE DR a Wood k P TWIN OAKS ST Wood o u WILSON CT o T Dale D I Dale C Schiller W HILLSIDE DR O M LN Wood E G O E V A T GATEWAY RD Park H N A GLENDALE ST S Dale A A L PIN E W VE T Y C BROOKWOOD ST K BROOKWOOD ST U19 AVE V U D NU PP R R Wood W AL P MEDINAH ST PLEASANT ST PO Schiller S W Bensenville M Dale VIE etra ST M 1 IRVING PARK RD ilw Park U9 y V EA a t T Bensenville uk T y e n e t S D N S u is n O tr ER i o c u t W DIS ROOSEVELT AVE NT e o s GR C Chicago t L EEN AD i e ST MAIN CE n ST C 290 e g k ¨¦§ T Bensenville PLENTYWOOD LN a S o P 83 N M o VU GAYLIN CT etra u O Mi l C Mannheim S wa ST u k D GROVE AVE R GROVE ST ee D E Y istric D t W Belmont LE e N st Li Franklin E MCLEAN AVE ne FO D H D Ave. T Park T R R WOOD ST S T WOOD AVE C T E ST CH T S RK T ST S N C R Franklin T M S O ST SE A Y R I il YO N S ON w R -W E S HU R O , IS T ON MA ON RO G N A CS N S ER S C M Park AS E DD RR GR PINE AVE EE A C N D MIN JUD BA ST S M S S R Addison N MEMORIALRD RK ST L T N YO S T IAR T MEMORIALRD EE FR BR C C AN NU 2ND AVE GR KL NI DR WASHINGTON RD IN A ST AL K ST V ER E E IN ME W AR 2ND CT VIRGINIA ST EV S LIN DL P DO 355 ST ¨¦§ PO TY 294 IS JEFFERSON ST § 3RD AVE ¨¦ UN ELL CREST AVE CO T Northlake C AK ST RED O SESAME DR D Addison N O ST M Franklin D VU83 HN E R JO Park GEORGE ST Elmhurst DR D ST DENNIS DR YN R L E DIANA CT R U Line N Q t C Villa c Wes O A i TE J Pacif Elmhurst S ion I Park a Un EN etr D M R RD D Melrose D W DR S A S C A VIE L RIVER FOREST DR S ST E Berkeley E R MASSEL CT RE M Park A O FO L D P 294 R Melrose O D ¨¦§ Bellwood W BELMONT AVE CH R R Villa Park L DR U D Lombard Berkeley UR I D WILLIAM ST n Y NIE i CH o AR Park D Lombard BB n DA DR R DR RR P Bensenville Limits Airport Runways BO ARTHUR CT ID RK JAMES S a T FE V c TRY Addison YO i DA BERNICE DR f I2 i Bellwood c EN County Boundary Metra Stations GRAND AVE R GRAND AVE a i l r Unincorporated Metra Rail Lines o a d Hillside ¨¦§290 Elmhurst Elmhurst Northlake Miles I 0 0.5 1 2 ¨¦§88 Source: Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, 2013.
