After consideration of resident feedback, the Ward office supports the proposed zoning change from B1-2 to B2-3 at 5308-10 N. Damen Ave.
Process
All proposed zoning changes in the 40th Ward undergo a community feedback process. Neighbors are invited to comment on the proposal at public meetings and online at https://40thward.org/zoningrequests/. All comments and other feedback are considered and discussed by myself and my staff prior to any decision being made regarding zoning. A detailed timeline/FAQ is available at: https://40thward.org/zoning-requests/community-driven-zoning/.
Feedback
The feedback for this change was overwhelmingly positive. Neighbors cited the need for more residential units in an area with a high demand for housing, as well as their enthusiasm for seeing a previously empty storefront put to better use for the community. We are deeply grateful to all our neighbors who took the time to provide feedback.
