March 2024 Plan Commission Hearing

 

Address (Community Area, Ward) Agenda Description Materials (posted by Wednesday, March 6 Draft Presentation (posted by Monday, March 18)
 

A proposed resolution to adopt Design Guidelines for Ground Floor Residential on Commercial Corridors. The guidelines supplement Chicago’s adopted Neighborhood Design Guidelines to provide best practices for renovation and new construction of ground floor housing on commercial corridors. In neighborhoods where housing demand exceeds commercial space demand, some property owners are locating housing on the ground floors of certain buildings rather than retain commercial spaces that will likely remain vacant. These guidelines provide design inspiration for how to better contribute positively to the public realm as ground floor uses shift toward housing, subject to zoning and other requirements. DPD presented a progress report on the guidelines to the Chicago Plan Commission in December 2023 and posted a draft for public feedback in February 2024. The final document presented for adoption will incorporate that feedback.
