Summary
Staff briefed the board on a proposed plan amendment for the area around the South Shore 100 & 73rd Street Station and invited BZA members to public meetings; two cases (Z-26-03 and Z-26-04) were continued because notification requirements were not met.
City staff informed the Board of Zoning Appeals about an ongoing plan amendment for the area surrounding the South Shore 100 & 73rd Street Station, describing tentative boundaries (roughly 65th–100th to the north, Calumet Avenue to the east, and State Line/river on the other side) and saying the work will expand to land-use discussions and ultimately be considered by the planning commission and then city council as an amendment to the comprehensive plan.
Staff asked that BZA members attend upcoming public meetings to stay informed; two public meetings have been held and a second meeting is being scheduled. Staff cautioned that the South Shore corridor is not yet in revenue service and that construction contractors will remove temporary equipment after final stages of the project.
Separately, the board confirmed Z-26-03 and Z-26-04 could not be heard because required notifications were not met; staff and petitioners will prepare documentation for the Feb. 24 meeting.
