Amendment of Municipal Code Chapter 17-13 regarding zoning administrator approval on special use applications
Auto-generated summary
The Chicago City Council has updated the Municipal Code to regulate special land uses, requiring detailed environmental and end-use plans for applications, including waste-related facilities and business live/work units. The Zoning Administrator and Zoning Board of Appeals manage the approval process, with public input and specific criteria for different types of applications. Criteria include standards compliance, public convenience, compatibility with surroundings, and pedestrian safety. Waste-related uses have additional criteria like pollution control and economic impact. Decisions on special use applications must be made within 120 days, with approval valid for 12 months unless a building permit is obtained or use is commenced. Changes to existing special uses require approval.
