The multi-billion-dollar mixed-use project proposed for the area surrounding the United Center will head to the City Council for final approval Wednesday after being approved by the Committee on Zoning, Landmarks and Building Standards Tuesday. 

The zoning committee on Tuesday also approved a new performing arts campus in Uptown, a statutory change to allow for commercial-to-residential conversions and several mixed-use projects.
