The proposed recommendation is to amend the Future Land Use Plan from Commercial to Mixed Use. Attached is the proposed Ordinance and Amended Redevelopment Plan. Please note that since this Amendment was made public, there are minor edits to the Amendment simply to change reference to this amendment from “Second” Amendment to “Third” Amendment, as there have been two previous amendments to the TIF 4 Redevelopment Plan (these two previous changes are now both listed on the second page of the proposed amendment). Recommendation It is recommended that the Joint Review Board approve the proposed amendment to the TIF District #4 Redevelopment Plan and Project as outlined in the attached Resolution and Recommendation.

and WHEREAS, in light of its review of the Subject Properties and the Arlington Heights/Golf Redevelopment Project Area, the Village has caused to be prepared by Kane, McKenna and Associates, Inc. a proposed amendment to the Arlington Heights/Golf Redevelopment Plan and Project to allow the use of the Subject Properties for mixed-use development ("Amended Redevelopment Plan and Project");
