The Committee defers items from the agenda, across multiple wards, that have not been before the Planning Commission or did not meet Notice Requirements. These items will be on the July meeting.

The public comment segment begins with a Mark Church of Wrigleyville, who opposes zoning changes to a property at 1118 W Patterson Ave.

Church says the change would burden the neighborhood to fund the "extravagant lifestyle" of one applicant, seeking a vacation spot.

The second comment is from Lisa Iverson, a longtime resident of the same neighborhood. She echoes Mark's sentiment that the residents all have "1118 W Patterson fatigue."

Lisa proclaims that the neighborhood does not want a commercial building on residential property, and urges the Committee to deny the request.

Lawrence Adelson of the law firm, Chico and Nunes, P.C. is the final public speaker, and offers his ongoing expertise on a project in the 16th Ward.

Ald. Stephanie Coleman (16th Ward) announces her support for a zoning change in her ward, and more specifically, in West Englewood. This would allow development in a space that used to be a movie theatre.

A full presentation is due in August, and the zoning change is approved. https://t.co/r3lo5jKlUw

A change in residential zoning in the 33rd Ward is approved. A revision to a project (not on the Agenda) in the 30th Ward is approved. A proposal to develop a vacant lot in the 25th Ward is approved. A plan to add an additional unit onto a property in the 12th Ward is approved.

An adjustment in the 33rd Ward that would allow Chamberlain University to move to the ward is approved.

11:10am: The live stream cut out for a few seconds on my end, and it seems I missed the approval of an item.

A zoning change to establish a grocery store in the 20th Ward is put on hold. The Committee will reach out to the Alderman for more information.

A proposal to rezone an area as mixed-use in the 18th Ward is approved. This rezoning would allow the new owners to comply with permit requirements for an existing residential property. Ald. Lopez asks the Committee to look into a pattern of property sales with improper permits. https://t.co/X9D3U34KsV

The Committee defers an item in the 20th Ward. A proposal in the 11th Ward is put on hold, due to technical difficulties. A request to rezone to comply with residential building density in Ward 6 is approved.

John Pikarski asks for a favorable vote on a proposal for rezoning in the 11th Ward. The rezone would allow for the removal of a factory in substandard conditions. The motion is passed. https://t.co/NESxdDtRSh

A change in zoning in the 5th Ward to allow for retail use is approved. A proposal in the 33rd Ward (absent from the Agenda) is approved. An item in the 9th Ward (absent from the Agenda) is approved.

Despite the public dissent earlier, the proposal to rezone the property at 1118 W Patterson Ave in the 44th Ward is approved.

Chairman Tunney says the goal is to use this building as a buffer between the noise of commercial Wrigleyville and the neighboring residents. https://t.co/rTOpGHPjtY

A proposal to facilitate construction in the 9th Ward, including a project by @amazon, (absent from the Agenda) is approved. Ald. Osterman asks if there is a commitment by Amazon to hire folks from the community, to which Ald. Beale says there is, voicing his enthusiasm.

12:18pm: The live stream cut out, and I missed another item's approval.

A proposal to allow commercial development in the 45th Ward is approved. Two items in the 42nd Ward (absent from the Agenda) are approved. One proposal includes reconfiguring traffic directions on Canal St and Clinton St, and using "minority and women-owned" developers.

A proposal to build two residential towers at 400 N Lake Shore Drive in the 42nd Ward (absent from the Agenda) is approved. The applicant, Related Midwest, assured the Committee of its commitment to inclusion and diversity in development. https://t.co/IeQKuwKj5H

The Committee observes a moment of silence for the late Ald. Burton Natarus, who passed away last week. He was alderman of Chicago’s 42nd Ward for 36 years.

A project in the 27th Ward by Shorewood Developer Corps (absent from the Agenda) is approved. https://t.co/k2RMCFFV9d

The meeting is adjourned at 1:02pm.
