The City Council approved a zoning reclassification for the property located at 3127-3139 North Halsted Street / 749-759 West Briar Place. The project involves changing the zoning from B3-2 Community Shopping District to B2-5 Neighborhood Mixed-Use District. This change facilitates the construction of a 5-story, 65-foot-tall mixed-use building. The development includes 66 residential dwelling units and approximately 1,233 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. The project also incorporates 14 vehicle parking spaces and 66 bicycle parking spaces, benefiting from its designation as a Transit Served Location, which allowed for a reduction in required parking from 33 to 14 spaces. Additionally, the approval included several zoning variations, such as reducing the rear setback from 30.0 feet to 0.0 feet, eliminating the required loading berth, and reducing the setback for stairway and elevator enclosures. The ordinance was passed by the City Council on July 16, 2025.
