In his speech yesterday, Governor JB Prtizker announces support for the third usurpation of loclal zoning lower.

Number 1 was the siting of solar farms.

Number 2 was the siting of battery farms.

Now comes taking the power to zone residential housing.

Here is the Chicago Tribune’s description of the shift in zoning power:

“To encourage more housing, Pritzker is asking lawmakers to limit local governments’ authority over certain residential zoning areas so that multi-family and other structures can be built.”
