Comprehensive Plan - Oswego Illinois

Existing Land Uses and
Developed Lands
The existing land use within the study area was
reviewed in order to establish the historical background
of the community. The previous Comprehensive
Plan provided the context for the existing
land uses at that time. While mostly focused on the
area north of Cherry Road, this map’s content was
incorporated into the existing development exhibit.
Other resources including the Village’s new subdi-
chart and an aerial photograph from Spring 2004,
in the study area.
During the design
process of the Strategic
Growth Plan, it
was important to work
with accurate numbers
of developable
posed
results. The
Lannert Group created
a Developable
Areas (Figure 2-2)
exhibit. The areas in
blue represent pending
neighborhoods,
county, single-family
estate lots, roadways, and
natural features.
As the Strategic Growth Plan study progressed,
this graphic was created for each planning area
and was used as a tool to identify areas that had
potential development opportunities.
