1.12008 “IKE” DISASTERIke Planning GrantFunding for this Plan comes from the USDepartment of Housing and Urban Development(HUD). This grant funding was allocated to theState of Illinois by Presidential Declaration inresponse to the flooding in 2008 – known as the“Ike” disaster. “Ike disaster” funds were providedto communities to recover from the 2008 floods,as well as plan for and reduce the damage fromfuture floods.Additionally, this Plan must promote these sixSustainable Planning Principles:Based on the Ike Planning Program requirements,the Plan must at a minimum directly addressthe project area’s disaster recovery needs.Specifically, the plan must:2. Promote equitable, affordable housing. Analyze the impact of the floods of 2008on the area, paying special attention to theareas and groups that were most adverselyaffected, and the kinds of unmet “needs”that were created by the storm either directlyor indirectly (e.g. infrastructure, housing,economic development etc.).Put forth principles/policies designed to bestserve the affected populations and addressthe identified needs created by the disaster.Outline strategies designed to mitigate orminimize future disaster damage.1. Provide more transportation choices.Develop safe, reliable and economical transportationchoices to decrease household transportation costs,reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign oil, improveair quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promotepublic health.Expand location- and energy-efficient housing choicesfor people of all ages, incomes, races and ethnicities toincrease mobility and lower the combined cost of housingand transportation.3. Enhance economic competitiveness.Improve economic competitiveness through reliableand timely access to employment centers, educationalopportunities, services and other basic needs by workersas well as expanded business access to markets.4. Support existing communities.Target funding toward existing communities—throughsuch strategies as transit-oriented, mixed-use developmentand land recycling—to increase community revitalization,improve the efficiency of public works investments, andsafeguard rural landscapes.5. Coordinate policies and leverage investment.Align policies and funding to remove barriers tocollaboration, leverage funding and increase theaccountability and effectiveness of all levels of governmentto plan for future growth, including making smart energychoices such as locally generated renewable energy.6. Value communities and neighborhoods.Enhance the unique characteristics of all communities byinvesting in healthy, safe, and walkable neighborhoods—rural, urban, or suburban.1-2MSA Professional Services, Inc.

CHAPTER 1INTRODUCTIONStorms’ Affect on the CountyTotal Precipitation Departure from Mean in InchesJanuary 1, 2008 to June 26, 08/Flood2008/flood.htm#Figure1Illinois was inundated by heavy rains in 2008,starting in January and continuing throughJune. These intense rains fell on saturatedsoils that ended up in area streams and riversthat were already near flood stage. The resultwas mass flooding near the Mississippi andRock Rivers within the region, including inWhiteside County. This affected not onlyresidences (primarily farmsteads), but also cropdevelopment, resulting in substantial crop losses.Whiteside County is one of only a few countiesin Illinois that does not have a Hazard MitigationPlan in place. This plan seeks to help the Countybetter prevent and recover from damage causedby future natural disasters, including floods.Whiteside County, Illinois1-3

1.2THE PLAN AS A “LIVING” GUIDEWhy a Comprehensive Plan?Illinois Comprehensive PlanningIt is difficult to know what the future maybring for Whiteside County, or for any county.As residents and businesses come and go, andeconomic trends rise and fall, changes will occur.The purpose of this plan is to establish a sharedvision for Whiteside County to guide futureactions and decisions. This guidance providespredictability and consistency over time, whichencourages investment. We plan so that we canact and react in a changing world with a confidentunderstanding of our common values and goals.Comprehensive plans are defined in the IllinoisLocal Planning Technical Assistance Act (PublicAct 92-0768, Sec. 5). The common elementsaddressed in a comprehensive plan are:Plan MaintenanceThis planning document is a “living” guide forgrowth and change in Whiteside County. Theplan represents the County’s best effort to addresscurrent issues and anticipate future needs;however, it can and should be amended from timeto time if conditions warrant reconsiderationof policies in this plan. If decisions are beingmade that are not consistent with this plan,then the plan has lost its relevance and shouldbe amended. The process of amending thecomprehensive plan should not be onerous, butit should trigger a brief pause to consider againthe long term vision for the community. Thisplan’s value is dependent upon frequent use andoccasional updates.1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.All comprehensive plans include: 1-4Land UseNatural ResourcesHistoric PreservationTransportationEconomic DevelopmentHousingUtilities & Community FacilitiesUrban Design / Community CharacterAgricultural & ForestryIntergovernmental CooperationA statement of authority to prepare andadopt the planBackground data and analysis – includingarea history, a description of existing social,economic and physical (natural and manmade) conditions and trends, and economicand demographic projections.Documentation of stakeholder’s interestsand involvement – these include interestsof residents, public officials, the businesscommunity, and developers.Vision statement (or statement of desiredgoals and objectives) – desired Villageoutlook, generally 20 years from now.Future plan map or maps – these mapsdepict various components, including landuse, transportation, community facilities,and housing areas.Plan Implementation – framework orschedule that describes specific measuresto carry out the plan, the time frame toexecution, and potential cost ranges.MSA Professional Services, Inc.

On theother hand, the State grew by 3.3% during the same period.Whiteside County, IllinoisTampico: 790- 5.2%Deer Grove: 9.1%481-9

1.4HousingAvg. Median Value7.9%The county’s median homevalue increased 41% between1990 and 2000 to 75,700, whilethe State’s median value increasedby only 26.5% to 130,800). Basedon American Community Surveydata (rolling average from 20072011), the median home value inthe county is currently 99,700,which suggests an increase ofapproximately 25% from the cupied2007 - 2011Avg. Median Value 99,7002010 OccupancyThe majority of County residents live in owneroccupied housing. However, owner occupancypercentages have been declining over the pastthree decades due in part to the increase in multifamily using units and a more mobile workforce.Households:Persons 23,7402.421980-2010 Household CountsFrom 1980-2010, Whiteside County experienced a 2.3% increase in the number of households.This includes a drop in households in the 1980s and negligible growth (0.2%) in the 2000s.During the same period, the state as whole increased by 19.6%, including an increase of 5.3%over the last decade.The county’s “persons per household” count, also known as household size, dropped from2.51 in 2000 to 2.42 in 2010, which is a reduction of 3.6%. During this same period, the state’s“persons per household” declined by 1.5% to 2.59. This trend is consistent with national trendsover the past several decades and can be attributed to smaller family sizes, increases in lifeexpectancy, and increases in single parent households.1-10MSA Professional Services, Inc.

In the year 2000, thepercentage of County residents 25 years or older thathad at least a high school diploma was similar to theState (79% vs 81%), however bachelor’s and graduatedegrees were substantially less common in theCounty (10.7% vs 25.1%). More recent data from theAmerican Community Survey (2007-2011), suggestmore degrees in both the State and the County, but asimilar gap between the County and the State (15.6%vs 30.7%). Associates degrees, on the other hand, weremore common within the County than the State, inboth data sets.Income Indicators (2007-2011)The typical correlation between education and income is reinforced in the County incomes here are lower than the State averages, and the difference appears to be growing.Whereas the Whiteside County median household income (MHI) was 88% of the stateMHI in 2000, the 2007-2011 ACS data show statewide income growth outpacing localincomes, such that the County MHI was just 82% of the State MHI. Despite these lowerincomes, the County has less poverty than the State as a whole, reflecting the fact thatpeople living below the federal poverty line tend to live in larger cities with more socialservices and transportation options.1-12MSA Professional Services, Inc.
