Edgewater Neighbors, Business Owners Sue The City Over Broadway Rezoning

Edgewater residents and businesses sue Chicago to overturn Broadway rezoning, citing due process and notification failures.
Plaintiffs say proper notices were not given to owners within 250 feet and to cross-street property owners affected by the rezoning.
The lawsuit also alleges residents were denied the opportunity to speak at a public hearing.
The upzoning changes were approved by the City Council last year to allow taller, denser development along Broadway.
Aldermen Angela Clay, Matt Martin, and Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth supported the zoning changes.
The zoning plan includes a 'pedestrian street designation' to limit driveways and parking.
The dispute centers on Broadway’s rezoning from Devon to Montrose and related development plans.
The case has a scheduled hearing on March 13 in Cook County Circuit Court.
City Department of Law has not commented on the pending litigation as of now.
