The Plan Commission has re-examined the areas that remain and potential additions to the Special Development Areas. As a result of the analysis, there are now four SDA's each with special considerations which may impact development in those areas. This pattern of ownership makes it more difficult to develop or redevelop the area in a cohesive manner. The special issues affecting these area make it particularly appropriate for future development to proceed in a coordinated fashion. Coordinated development can be accomplished by assembling several parcels under a single ownership.
Coordinated development can also occur through the cooperative efforts of the individual owners.
Additional issues possibly affecting these areas include uncertainty over the configuration of the future road network, potential difficulty in obtaining workable alternatives to waste disposal, the need for coordination between development that occurs in the unincorporated sections of the County with the development occurring in the Village, and existing land uses which are incompatible with anticipated future development. While these areas present opportunities for change, in order for the change to be harmonious with existing development, the special features of these areas need particular attention. The fragmented ownership patterns make changing existing development patterns more difficult. A change in the use of small parcels can adversely affect nearby parcels. This is of particular concern where the SDA's are near existing residential areas.
