Hyde Park Planning Committee Sets Housing Goals
Hyde Park Planning Committee met May 25 with 35 attendees at 5541 Hyde Park. The group aims to preserve Hyde Park Kenwood housing diversity by seeking a 100 percent off street parking requirement and removing density bonuses for park frontage, plus rezoning East Hyde Park to cut density and protect existing buildings. It also calls for more small parks, implementation of Jackson Park plans, and mandatory plan reviews by city agencies.

Blackstone Block Group Wins Court Battle Over Zoning Variation
The Cook County Court of Appeals ruled that developers Richard Swift and William Epstein are not entitled to a zoning variation for a Blackstone and 54th Street corner project. Original plans called for five townhouses but were revised to four units after neighborhood objections. The decision preserves the zoning board’s stance amid protests from area residents and local officials.
