Description
This is an appeal from a declaratory decree holding the Chicago zoning ordinance void as applied to plaintiff's property. The trial court certified that the validity of an ordinance is involved and that the public interest requires direct appeal. The subject property consists of three vacant lots with a frontage on Irving Park Road of 79.4 feet and extending north 125 feet along Pittsburgh Avenue to an alley. It is an R-2 residential district, which zoning classification permits one-family detached dwellings only. Intensity of use is limited to 5000 square feet per unit, reducible under certain circumstances, but one residence is permitted on each of these lots under the use and bulk regulations of the zoning ordinance. Plaintiff proposes to construct 2 two-story brick buildings, each to contain 3 four-room and 2 three-room apartments, together with parking space for eight automobiles. The city refused to grant building permits after having twice refused to amend the zoning ordinance.
