Aerial Photographs

Available Site Inventory

The Department of Community Development maintains an inventory and map of commercial and industrial buildings and sites in the Village that are available for sale or lease.

Comprehensive Plan

The Village’s initial Comprehensive Plan was adopted in July, 1976, and presented a road map for the Village’s continued growth, while also providing for maintenance and improvements to the existing community at that time. This document reviews the comprehensive planning goals of the Village for growth and open space, land uses, community facilities, and transportation systems. In 2000, the Village completed an extensive update to the Comprehensive Plan to better address the areas of the community which are expected to experience development or redevelopment pressures over the next twenty years. The Update 2000 was officially approved and adopted by the Mayor and Board of Trustees on May 14, 2001. The Village Board has directed Staff to undertake a Comprehensive Plan update in 2011. It is anticipated that work will begin in June 2011.

Lake County Interactive Maps

Lake County maintains an interactive mapping website that provides access to a variety of information for Lincolnshire and other Lake County communities related to property taxes, government, and environment.

Monthly Meeting Packets (Zoning Board and Architectural Review Board)

Copies of the plan submittal packets for these meetings, including Staff memos and petitioner’s supporting documentation, are provided in the Department of Community Development reception area. These packets are provided for public viewing on the Monday prior to a Tuesday meeting and will remain on display until the next monthly meeting.

Plats of Subdivision

The Department of Community Development maintains a plat file containing most of the subdivisions of land that have taken place in the Village since incorporation. These plats of subdivision can be useful in viewing the relationship of property lines to streets, parks, conservancy areas, detention ponds and easements. In many cases, approximate measurements of lot width, depth and area is provided on these plats.

National Wetland Inventory/Lake County Wetland Inventory Maps

A map file depicting the approximate area of established wetlands and suspected wetlands (based on the type of soils, plants, and annual periods of water inundation) is maintained in the Department of Community Development. These maps can be used as a guide to determine the likelihood that wetlands are present on a particular property. Village personnel are available to explain these maps and how development of a property is affected.

U.S. Census

The latest Census Profile Report of the Village is available on the U.S. Census Bureau website. This online report provides a breakdown of Village residents’ age, race, sex, citizenship, ancestry, family status, education, employment status, income, and general housing characteristics.
