Committee on Hearings and Policy
TL;DR
The Committee on Hearings and Policy held a public hearing on a proposed zoning change for the Banksville Golden Horizons development project in the 20th Ward. The project would convert land currently zoned for moderate-density residential and low-density single-unit homes (including the existing Marian Manor property and adjacent vacant commercial land) into a new Residential Planned Unit Development District with its own specific rules and regulations.
