Comprehensive Plan
Completed in 1999, the Bourbonnais Comprehensive Land Use Plan establishes
a dynamic vision for the future of Bourbonnais. Taking into consideration
current growth trends, transportation improvements, and natural features
within the Bourbonnais area, the 1999 Comprehensive Land Use Plan suggests
a pattern of single-family residential, commercial and industrial land
uses to compliment existing development patterns.
As indicated in the plan, the Village of Bourbonnais covers 2,900 acres of land, or 4.53 square miles. Approximately 78% of the land is developed, 18% is vacant, and 4% is agricultural; 30.4% of the developed land is single family residential, 7.6% commercial, and 1.4% industrial.
