The City Council has passed an amendment to Municipal Code Chapter 17-7, adding a new Section 17-7-1500. This section establishes the Milwaukee Avenue Special Character Overlay District, which spans N Milwaukee Ave between N Western Ave and N Ridgeway Ave. The overlay district aims to preserve and enhance the unique architectural and historical character of this area while guiding future development to align with the community's aesthetic and urban planning goals.
This amendment is significant as it creates a framework for maintaining the distinctive character of the Milwaukee Avenue corridor. By establishing the Special Character Overlay District, the city ensures that future developments will respect the historical and architectural integrity of the area while promoting sustainable growth.
