ORDINANCE
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHICAGO:
SECTION 1. Title 17 of the Municipal Code of Chicago, the Chicago Zoning Ordinance, is hereby amended by changing all of the RS-2 Residential Single Unit (Detached House) District symbols and indications as shown on Map No. 7-F in area bound by
North Orchard Street, the alley next North of and parallel to West Deming Place, a line 199.86 feet East of and parallel to North Orchard Street, West Deming Place
to those of a RM-5 Residential Multi-Unit District.
SECTION 2. This ordinance takes effect after its passage and approval.
Common Address of Property:
NARRATIVE 642 W Deming Place
RS-2 to RM-5
This zoning change is requested to return this church/rectory property to a more appropriate classification (property was down-zoned with several other parcels in the neighborhood). The existing facility pre-dates and exceeds the allowable RS-2 F.A.R. A change to RM-5 will bring the existing property into conformance with F.A.R. limitations and will permit sufficient additional F.A.R. to implement ADA accessibility improvements to the historic structure.
