Planning board backs rezoning map amendment affecting roughly 47 properties
The Kankakee City Planning Board voted to recommend a map amendment rezoning about 47 parcels in several corridors (Jeffrey, Washington, Skyler, Southeast, Charles and adjacent streets) to align underlying zoning with current land uses; staff said the change grants underlying zoning only and does not address variances.
The full story
Planning staff presented Case PB2026‑4‑3, a proposed map amendment to rezone parcels along portions of South 3rd–7th avenues, West Charles Street, Southeast Avenue, West Hawkins Street, West Jeffrey Street, McMullen Drive, South Skyler Avenue and South Washington Avenue. Staff said the proposal affects about 47 properties and aims to align underlying zoning with existing development patterns — converting some commercial or industrial zoning to single‑family residential (R1) and rezoning one parcel at 1168 Southeast Avenue from single‑family to multifamily to match surrounding five‑unit buildings.
