Exploration: How a “Standard 8-3” (that's an 8-unit building on a standard size lot) could be designed and built today, thanks to the #ConnectedCommunities ordinance https://www.chicagocityscape.com/blog/exploration-how-a-standard-8-3-could-be-designed-and-built-today-861fd4d553

A new #ConnectedCommunities ordinance example was permitted: 12-unit residential building with six parking spaces, as of right. See where -> https://www.chicagocityscape.com/permit/100998749

Check out this #ConnectedCommunities-enabled housing development: subdividing a single-family house into 7 apartments, with zero car parking spaces. https://www.chicagocityscape.com/permit/100989475

We try hard to keep our members informed and connect the dots between city planning policy and permits, like this project which is using the new #ConnectedCommunities ordinance and #UnusedZoningCapacity. https://www.chicagocityscape.com/permits.php?pid=100972607

This could be huge..."Connected Communities" re-legalizes six-unit houses on standard size lots. https://www.chicagocityscape.com/blog/connected-communities-re-legalizes-six-unit-houses-on-standard-size-lots-4675502559

Basically, it is car parking requirements in R zoning districts preventing more than 3 units from being built on a standard size lot.

That”s changed now for lots zoned RM-5+ and in TOD areas. #Standard63 #zoning #ConnectedCommunities
