After consideration of resident feedback, the 40th Ward office cannot support the proposed zoning change from B1-2 Community to B2-5 by Bryn Mawr Commons LLC.
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, and all comments and feedback are considered and discussed by Ald. Vasquez and the 40th Ward team prior to any decision being made. A detailed description on this process is available on the Community Driven Zoning page of our website.
Feedback
We are deeply grateful to all our neighbors who took the time to engage and provide feedback. Your participation is what helps improve our community zoning process every time!
Feedback on this project was majority opposed, however neighbors shared an interest in having this property developed into a residential or mixed use building and provided detailed feedback on their concerns with the presented designs. Alder Vasquez shared feedback with the developer and gave them an opportunity to incorporate comments into the plans. To this date, we have not received revised plans for consideration. In the absence of revised plans that address community concerns in a timely manner, Alder Vasquez cannot support the rezoning of this property at this time.
