*Getting Dizzy on Zoning

Confused About the Up-Zoning and Down-Zoning in the 49th Ward

"As a founding member of the North of Howard Neighbors Association, I find some difficulty in supporting a zoning change when we have very little to no information regarding this change."
Carl Steward

Carl has a questions and he isn't alone.

"Where were the neighborhood developer informercial meetings"?

"Where was the neighborhood input on each project"?

"Who is behind each and every property address"?


There are at least 5 Property Index Numbers at stake here. Addresses to be re-zoned.

1432 -1538 West Jonquil Terrace
7650 -56 North Bosworth Ave.

You Are Hereby Notified that a Public Hearing on the requested Zoning Amendment listed below will be heard in the City Council Chambers, 121 N. Lasalle Street, 2nd floor of City Hall on Thursday, March 9, 2006. Anyone wishing to be heard must be at the hearing, which will commence at 10:00 am.

So, who's "horse" does Alderman Moore have in this race?

Alderman Joe Moore
Application # A5894


Now: Current Zoning:
RT 4 Residential Two Flat
( Townhouse and Multi Unit District )

Later: Proposed Zoning:
RT 3.5 Residential Two Flat
( Townhouse and Multi Unit District )

Where is the ZALUC smoke and mirrors routine, then rubber stamp for these properties? What is Alderman Moore doing this time?
