Oak Park's Plan Commission will resume its public hearing on the Shape Oak Park zoning overhaul at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 12, at Village Hall, 123 Madison St.
The hearing on proposed amendments to the village's zoning ordinance and zoning map has been continued twice since it opened Oct. 8 at the Oak Park River Forest High School auditorium. A second session followed Oct. 15 at the same location, according to the village's event page. The Nov. 12 session is scheduled from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. in Council Chambers at Village Hall.
The Village of Oak Park, acting as the petitioner, seeks approval of comprehensive amendments to the zoning ordinance and map. The proposed changes are meant to address and incentivize missing middle housing types, according to village records.
A live video stream of the Nov. 12 hearing will be available. Recordings of the Oct. 8 and Oct. 15 sessions are posted on the village website.
Residents who want to speak at the hearing must sign up in person and will get three minutes each. Each person may speak only once across all sessions. Written comments may also be submitted before the hearing closes and will become part of the official record.
Those interested in cross-examining witnesses during the hearing must file an appearance form by 5 p.m. the day before the cross-examination session. Forms are available at Village Hall or through the village website.
