Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection Ordinance - Case No. 629

Today the issue will come before the Chicago Plan Commission to consider whether the proposal meets the requirements of the Lakefront Protection Ordinance.  The ordinance recognizes that the City's Lake Michigan shoreline possesses special environmental, recreational, cultural, historical, community and aesthetic interests and values that require protection and preservation.

Sheridan Road within the Private-Use Zone of the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection District.
