The Chicago City Council approved a spot rezoning application for the property at 2447-2449 N Halsted St, changing its zoning from B1-2 Neighborhood Shopping District to C1-2 Neighborhood Commercial District. The rezoning was requested by Open Inc. to allow the ground floor tavern to acquire a secondary outdoor patio liquor license. The property currently features a 3-story mixed-use building with a ground-floor tavern and residential apartments on the upper two floors. Additionally, there is a legal, non-conforming secondary 2.5-story multi-dwelling unit building in the rear. The project includes 2 dwelling units in the primary building and 2 dwelling units in the secondary building, totaling 4 units, along with 3 parking spaces and approximately 1,450 SF of commercial space on the ground floor. The building height will remain unchanged. The lot size is 4,790.625 SF. The City Council's Committee on Zoning, Landmarks and Building Standards recommended passage on 7/15/2025, and the full City Council passed the ordinance on 7/16/2025.
