A resolution seeking to adopt the Ground Floor Commercial Design Guidelines. The guidelines build off the previously adopted Neighborhood Design Guidelines and the Ground Floor Residential on Commercial Corridors Design Guidelines.  The document provides specific recommendations and best practice examples for future design review of renovation and new construction ground floor commercial project proposals along Chicago’s commercial corridors and will create a set of user-friendly and best practice examples for non-design professionals, including small business owners and small property owners. These design guidelines are meant to be a resource and clarify best practices, they are not taking policy positions, changing ordinances, or imposing additional requirements or processes.
