The ordinance amends Sections 4-60-022 and 4-60-023 of the Municipal Code of Chicago to restrict the issuance of additional liquor and package goods licenses for businesses on West Wrightwood Avenue between North Central Park Avenue and North Lawndale Avenue. This amendment addresses concerns about the over-concentration of establishments licensed to sell alcoholic liquor in the area.
This ordinance aims to improve community quality of life by reducing the density of alcohol-related businesses, addressing public safety and neighborhood stability concerns. It aligns with Chicago’s strategic efforts to regulate business concentrations in residential areas.
