On November 28 the City Council approved CLVN’s zoning change requests for the west side of Sheffield. After years of discussion and public hearning CLVN’s plan to rezone the majority of the west side to R5 residential is now a reality. There are a few areas with recent construction that are rezoned R5.5 and areas that are currently zoned R4 will remain R4. We would like to thank our Alderman Tom Tunney for working with our community group in making these changes possible. It will now be up to the developers to build within the new zoning requirements. Major transportation areas such as Diversey, Wellington and Belmont will remain business as well as the corner of George (where Enterprise Rent A Car is located) and the corner of Oakdale, where Pops was located.

Who We Are
Central Lake View Neighbors is a community based and funded non profit volunteer organization. CLVN represents the residents within the boundaries of Belmont to the north, Halsted to the east, Racine to west and Diversey to the south. The organization was formed to provide residents a forum to discuss issues ranging from development proposals, zoning, liquor license, street fairs and other community matters. The Alderman recognizes this group and refers local issues to this organization for comment, review and approval.
