The Chicago City Council has approved a zoning change for the property at 2505 N Lincoln Ave from B3-3 Community Shopping District to C1-3 Neighborhood Commercial District. This rezoning allows the applicant, Somm Somm Restaurant Group LLC, to open a wine shop and wine bar in the ground-floor commercial space of the existing three-story building. The change was necessary because the previous B3-3 zoning restricted new tavern licenses within 400 feet of existing establishments, a restriction not present in the C1-3 district. The building also contains seven residential dwelling units on the upper floors, which will remain. The commercial space measures 1,210 SF, and the building height will remain unchanged.
