The ordinance approves the rezoning of the property at 8335-8339 S Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive from B3-2 (Community Shopping District) to B2-3 (Neighborhood Mixed-Use District). This change facilitates the conversion of the existing building into a residential development with 12 dwelling units, including affordable housing options, and 12 parking spaces. The rezoning aligns with Chicago's urban planning objectives to expand residential housing and promote mixed-use developments in underserved areas.
This rezoning supports the development of affordable housing and contributes to the revitalization of the area. It aligns with the city’s goal to provide equitable housing solutions and enhance neighborhood livability.
