RE: RT4 to RT3.5 Zoning Change for 1432-1538 West Jonquil Terrace and 7650-56 North Bosworth Avenue

Hey Joe;

I’m writing in regards to the proposed zoning change for the above mention area, North of Howard in Rogers Park. After reading the City of Chicago Zoning Ordinance for RT4 and RT3.5, could you elaborate on the reasons for the proposed zoning change in this area? Specifically, the reasons for the change, intended purpose of the change and planned developments that you are attempting to stop/prohibit or encourage as a result of this zoning change? As you are well aware, any zoning changes in this area are reviewed with some degree of suspicion because of the heavy concentration of socially motivated properties that pepper the area.

As a founding member of the North of Howard Neighbors Association, I find some difficulty in supporting a zoning change when we have very little to no information regarding this change. Depending on forth coming information from you, I can either rally support for or against this proposal. While you have indicated in the past that you have no “horse in the race”, you have proposed this change for a reason, that reason can garner support or opposition. It is fully up to you, as applicant to explain the reasons for the change. I look forward to hearing from you prior to the March 9th date for this hearing.

The North of Howard Neighbors Association thanks you for your attention to this matter and look forward to supporting you in this effort to enhance and enrich our community.

Carl Steward
