BIVRIC Permit Expediting

This is where we explore what zoning means, how it fits into the larger picture of urban development and how zoning impacts you as a tenant or property owner.

The City of Chicago Zoning Ordinance is a legal document, recognized by both the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois. The foundation of the Ordinance hinges on a series of interconnected districts that regulate space use over the entire City. Zoning Districts are comprised of many levels, with each further defining which activities and uses can occur in the District.

What we do:

Zoning Districts regulate all kinds of things such as:

The maximum floor area a building can have

The number of parking spaces required for a particular building

The number of units allowed in a building

Hight of a building

How a far a building is set back from its lot lines

Which activities and uses are allowed within the District
As mentioned previously, when looking at a zoning map for Chicago and you will see that the City is divided into four basic Zoning Districts:

Residential (R)

Business (B)

Commercial (C)

Manufacturing (M)
Besides these primary four, there are additional districts:

Downtown

Parks and Open Space (POS)

Planned Developments (PD)

Planned Manufacturing Districts (PMD)
