An ordinance was passed by the City Council to amend the Chicago Zoning Ordinance by changing the RS-2 Residential Single-Unit (Detached House) District symbols and indications on Map 1-L. The zoning change allows for a reduction in side setbacks for the construction of a single-family residence. The subject property is 42.73 feet wide by 300.52 feet deep, with a lot area of 12,860 sq.ft., which is larger than the minimum 5,000 sq. ft. required by the Chicago Zoning Code. The property abuts the adjacent property to the west and is not served by an alley, necessitating an attached two-car garage. The proposed home is 27 feet 7½ inches in height. The front setback is 20 feet (the required setback), the rear setback will be over 222 feet (required 84.1 feet), and the proposed side setbacks are 3 ft 1 7/8 inches on the north side and 3 feet 1 inch on the south side. The reduction in side setbacks facilitates the attached garage.
