Vision

To visualize a Land Use Department that is smarter and more efficient as summarily outlined in our values, certain objectives must be realized and met. To share our vision of the future of Barrington, we must understand the past.

Ideally, planners and developers work in partnership to honor the past when fostering conservation of natural area open space and promoting growth and development by making wise land use decisions. Planners are trained observers who analyze the land, mindful of the context of setting, for planned site development.
