The Planning & Zoning Committee ensures that all development, residential and commercial, within our boundaries is compatible with the needs and zoning standards of our community.

What projects has the committee reviewed?

• 1113 W. Patterson: The owner of this site, proposed a new apartment building that required a zoning change from R 3.5 to B2-3 TOD (2020). Due to neighbors opposition, this project did not proceed.
• Trace (3714 N. Clark) & Full Shilling (3724 N. Clark): New owners of Trace and Full Shilling bars, Last Call Tavern Group, applied for a new liquor license at Full Shilling and a PPA license for Trace. The two establishments created new Plans of Operation.
• 1118-24 W. Patterson: The owner of the site, Repak Properties, proposed a new apartment building that required a type 1 zoning change from R3.5 to RM-5 (2018). The SNA Community Meeting polled neighbors who were overwhelmingly opposed. Owners modified their plans and the project eventually proceeded.

I received a written notice of a proposed zoning change for a property near me – what should I do?

Please email the committee. When the committee is informed of these notices, it is able to promptly review and determine whether the proposed change is consistent with the density and quality construction standards of the community.
