Ed Norris, City Clerk City of Oak Park The areas under consideration for rezoning center in two distinct areas. The first is the area near the intersection of Coolidge Hwy and Nine Mile Rd. These properties were previously zoned either B-1, Neighborhood Business or B-2, General Business. Through the Master Plan process adopted in 2020, a Future Land Use Map was included along with two new zoning districts. The properties in this area were identified to be rezoned as MX-2, Mixed Use 2 District. In the map below you can see the properties identified. The MX-2 zone will allow for a variety of uses and help to create a more walkable, bikeable downtown business district. Mixed Use sites blend a variety of residential, cultural, commercial and service businesses that are functionally integrated within two- or three-story buildings and provide pedestrian connections throughout. These areas are typically characterized by ground-floor uses that include convenience retail, personal services, and restaurants with upper story residential units. The second area under consideration is the North side of Capital Street. These properties are currently zoned LI, Light Industrial. It is recommended to rezone these properties to become a new district called IF, Industrial Flex which will allow a better transition of uses as they neighbor residential properties. The Industrial Flex district was created to foster a mixture of live/work and maker spaces that complements and transitions to nearby commercial, residential, and industrial districts. This district generally transitions from industrial uses to a higher density, adaptive reuse or modern infill to accommodate an eclectic live/work mixture of uses while still allowing for traditional industrial uses.
