Zoning Board Approves Mixed Use Plans and Rejections
The zoning board approved a C-2 local retail upgrade plan for 50th Street and Belton Avenue enabling a taller building with commercial space on the first floor and apartments above, while denying deeper commercial zoning to accommodate parking needs. The panel also endorsed C-4 heavy commercial zoning for Avenue Q, approved C-1 for a beauty shop, and M-1 for light industry at a couple of sites, with several plats approved and a site plan revision for a shopping center near 50th Street and Joliet Avenue.
