The Chicago City Council approved an ordinance to reclassify an area bounded by East 95th Street, the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad, East 96th Street, East 98th Street, South Torrence Avenue, East 96th Street, and South Colfax Avenue. The previous zoning designations of M1-1 Limited Manufacturing/Business Park District and M2-1 Light Industry District have been changed to B2-1 Community Shopping District. This reclassification aims to facilitate the development of a community shopping district in the area. The ordinance was introduced by Alderman Gregory I. Mitchell.
