The plan, launched in 2024 with an expected conclusion in early 2026, focuses on assessing and establishing a 20-year vision for appropriate land uses within the Burnside, Pullman, and Calumet Industrial Corridors, and adjacent industrial areas. It aims to integrate the City’s economic, job creation, health and safety, and environmental goals. The design guidelines will incorporate best practices related to landscape, stormwater, site and building design, and sustainability, with a focus on mitigating air and noise pollution. The presentation outlined the plan's phases, noting that formal adoption by the Chicago Plan Commission is anticipated in Q2/Q3 2026.
