Planning

The mission of the Wrightwood Neighbors Planning Committee is to work with residents, developers, the City and architects to encourage development and renovation that will benefit the neighborhood both aesthetically and economically.

Common issues that the Planning Committee addresses include;

• Requests for zoning changes

• Addressing resident concerns about design

• Working with local institutions, such as Children's Memorial Hospital and DePaul University on their campus expansion plans.

• Working with the Alderman's' office on requests for variances or exceptions to existing zoning codes as it relates to specific development requests.

• Overseeing the administration and updating of the WNA Long Range Land Use Plan

• Reviewing design stages as they relate to the rehabilitation of the Chicago Transit Authority Brown Lines-Fullerton and Diversey

 • Working with the City of Chicago and various community organizations relating to the redevelopment of the Elston Avenue Corridor, between Armitage Avenue and Fullerton Avenue.

The committee meets about every month and is open to anyone who has an interest in neighborhood development and architecture. Our committee is made up of zoning attorneys, real estate professionals and planning experts, along with WNA members who have an interest in how the neighborhood develops.
