WHEREAS, action charts describe the proposed implementation projects, programs, and regulations of the St. Johns/Lombard Plan, identify appropriate timeframes for their implementation, and identify agents to oversee or participate in the implementation of an action; and

WHEREAS, the St. Johns/Lombard Plan urban development concept represents a refinement of the community’s vision for the St. Johns town center and North Lombard main street, and serves as a general blueprint for realizing that vision by identifying elements of urban form that are to be preserved, changed, and enhanced; and
