The Committee on Zoning, Landmarks and Building Standards held a subject matter hearing Tuesday on the proposal from Ald. Bennett Lawson (44), the acting zoning chair, to expand the allowance of additional dwelling units (ADUs) citywide while adding and changing some rules in response to things learned during a pilot period.

No vote was taken on the ordinance (SO2024-0008918), but Lawson has said the committee could hold a vote on the measure later this month or next month. The 44th Ward alderperson said he believes he has the votes to pass it.
