There are more concerns about building size rules from a local neighborhood group on a zoning ordinance the Champaign City Council is looking at this upcoming Tuesday. From the News-Gazette last week:
New building-size rules still a concern for Champaign neighborhood groupMore details at the full article here. Tuesday's City Council agenda is available here.
A couple hundred residents of Champaign's In-Town neighborhood west and south of downtown have banded together to protest a zoning ordinance up for a vote Tuesday by the city council.
It's the latest chapter in a monthslong effort by residents to keep the historic feel of some of Champaign's older neighborhoods intact.
Residents approve of many of the changes that resulted from months of meetings with city staff throughout the summer, including limiting the exterior materials used to construct new buildings to brick, stone, wood or fiber cement.
But some residents, including Brenda Koenig — who is part of the Washington and Hill Streets neighborhood group — don't think the ordinance does enough to thwart a massive change of density in the area. The group has sent a petition with over 200 signatures to city council members and hopes they consider that they haven't done enough.
