The Zoning Committee has set out its development priorities in a set of Guidelines. We urge developers to consult these Guidelines in shaping their proposals, and we encourage NCNA members to review the Guidelines and let the committee know where you believe changes or additions would be helpful. The Guidelines can be downloaded here.
Developers interested in presenting their plans for new projects in the NCNA area should submit to the Zoning Committee copies of any documentation they have submitted or plan to present to either the 47th Ward office or the City of Chicago Zoning Board of Appeals or Plan Commission. The NCNA Zoning Committee can be reached here.
There is an existing TIF (Tax Increment Financing) District in the NCNA area, the Western Avenue South TIF. You can learn more about how TIFs work by downloading the TIF Fact Sheet to learn more about how TIFs work and what they mean to North Center. See below for a map of the Western Avenue South TIF.
