Madam Clerk, please call the room.

Councilman Bishop.

Thank you.

Um, we're gonna start with the zoning piece, ordinance number.

So we will want to add yeah, Councilman's Davis and Hudson.

Um, an ordinance establishing the Lorraine Antiques Design Review District, North and South of Lorraine Avenue between West Eighty Third Street and West Sixty First Place.

Um go ahead.

Hi Shannon.

Good morning.

Um Madam Chair Shannon Leonard, uh Chief Zoning Administrator, City Planning Commission.

I'm here with uh Nate Low, the neighborhood planner for this area.

Um and so this is a map change.

Uh the purpose is to grant oversight to the far west design review and city planning commission uh for all exterior changes and demolitions along our commercial corridors and to resect protect and preserve our important urban fabric closest to our transit.

And so uh the proposal here is to add the Lorraine Antiques Design Review District between West 83rd and West 61st place uh to the east, and really the purpose of that is as you can see here.

Um it is this small area in green that we're proposing here.

Um everything around it is along Lorraine.

It's a swear chunk that was left out of design review and landmarks uh commission design review purview, uh, and something that uh councilwoman Spencer as well as um councilman Davis have also included now in the new season have also wanted to support here.

Um so to give you some context.

This is from West 83rd, North and South, uh, and then the GCRTA station going towards the zone recreation center, uh slightly east of West 65th Street.

Um this is just giving you an idea of some of the notable places of which why this area has been on the forefront to try to protect and have a little bit of oversight as it relates to design review, any type of new infill development, as well as any um redevelopment of these sites.

So you have the CPL Lorraine branch down on the west, uh going up to Aspen Place, uh Century Antiques, um, the SSA offices, um, and the zone recreation center, as well as the post office.

Um, this is just giving you some of the context of those photos, those notable places that we just named.

Uh West 83rd in Lorraine, this is looking east.

Um, and then you also have West 80th in Lorraine looking east, um, and really giving you the context.

Now the context is a little bit old uh here, um, but it's still roughly the same outside of the snow that's currently down.

Um you also have the Century Antiques uh building, so you can kind of see the kind of historical and the the natural urban fabric that's here in context, um, and then going forward, you have a little bit more newer design, uh West 73rd in Lorraine.

Um, but notice how that fits in with the old historic context of Lorraine, um, the shopping district there.

Again, just some more context photos, the historic USPS post office, uh, and then West 65th and Lorraine as well, looking north.

Uh just a few more context with Zone Recreation Center and then West 61st place in Lorraine.

You can see a mix of the um older development as well as some newer development.

And so that's the proposal is really to add this small chunk uh called the Lorraine Avenue Umtiques District.

It'll fall into the design review district here that Nate can talk more about if you have questions of the new near west side.

Any questions?

Chief, are there other um districts throughout the city that are antique or is this the only one?

So this is just the name that they chose.

There's various design review districts, and that can I can see why that might be confusing.

It won't be a landmarks district, but it is a design review district.

So it'll be under the purview of city planning commission.

Got it.

Okay.

Councilman Austin.

Thank you.

Through the chair, thanks for putting this together.

I'll just be real brief.

Um, about one block is in ward seven, and the other 99 blocks are in um councilman Hudson's board, but she's an incredible supporter of this initiative.

The antique shops up and down the street are very cute.

Um, and I completely understand our desire to preserve that.

Uh Urban Fabric, so thank you for putting this together.

Happy to see it to the finish line.

And I will say council um woman Hudson sent out an email in support of this piece.

Councilman.

Okay.

Is there are there any public comments, madam clerk?

No, okay.

So any other questions on ordinance number.

Keep this open.

1520 from my colleagues.

Hearing no other questions, ordinance number 1520-2025 has been approved.

Please sign on.

So now we're closing the zoning portion of the meeting, and then we're heading to the regular.
