The ordinance approves the rezoning of the property at 1900 W 17th Street from B2-3 (Neighborhood Mixed-Use District) to B2-5 (Neighborhood Mixed-Use District) to facilitate a mixed-use development. The project includes the addition of a fourth floor and three residential units, bringing the total to 11 units. The development features a three-story residential building with no parking, aligning with Chicago's transit-oriented development objectives and urban density goals.
This rezoning promotes urban density and supports transit-oriented development by repurposing underutilized space for mixed-use purposes. It aligns with Chicago's strategy to increase housing options while fostering walkable and vibrant neighborhoods.
