Hanover Park Village Center Zoning District

The Village Center districts added to the Hanover Park Zonging Code in 2022 are intended to support implementation of the Village Center and Transit-Oriented Development Plan, adopted by the village board on May 3, 2012, and the 2017 Village Center Plan Update, including the following goals:

a.    Sense of Place. A sense of place defined by human-scaled development consisting of a variety of high quality buildings and civic spaces with well-designed landscape and streetscapes.
b.    Walkable, Connected Development. Walkable, connected development that is comfortable, safe, and interesting for the pedestrian through the use of appropriately scaled blocks, an interconnected system of streets with multiple choices for routes, and prioritization of streets for pedestrians and vehicles.
c.    Mixed-Use. Vibrant places with a “live-work-play” atmosphere, accommodated through a mix of uses that activate internal streets and civic spaces during the day and into the evenings, and multi-story development that defines the public spaces and creates “eyes on the street.”
