Community Meeting Deli Boutique Zoning-
-Support the Lincoln 11-
|
|
Dear Neighbor,
Please join my office to attend a community meeting regarding a zoning change application for the property located at 2318 N Clark Street.
The applicants, owners of Deli Boutique, are seeking a zoning change for this site, from B-1 to B-3 which would allow them to seek a special use and a liquor package goods license.
Unlike their current accessory use liquor license, a package goods license would allow the business to have a higher percentage of their revenue originated from liquor sales.
My office will be present at this meeting to monitor the discussion, take notes, and record your feedback.
WHAT: Zoning Change Proposal for Deli Boutique - 2318 N Clark Street
WHEN: Tuesday, May 16th at 6:00 pm
WHERE: Cenacle Convent, West Room - ground fl., 513 W Fullerton Pkwy
I hope you can join my office to engage in a direct dialogue with the applicants and their representatives to gain a better understanding of this proposal and obtain answers to any questions the community may have.

Increase in Water and Sewer Charges
A multi-year water and sewer rate increase, adopted in 2012, funds an accelerated capital program to repair and replace Chicago's aging water and sewer systems. The water and sewer rate increase is also tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to fund the continued upgrades.
Last year the CPI was flat and there was no rate increase. Effective Thursday, June 1st, CPI - indexed rates will increase 1.83%. The impact is an increase of approximately $.07 per 1,000 gallons of water, making the rate per 1,000 gallons of water $3.88. Sewer charges will increase by the same amount.
The utility bills reflecting the increase were mailed on Monday, May 1st and will include the charges starting with the June 1st usage. Although some consumers will receive their bills prior to the June 1st effective date, the increase will only apply to the portion of their bill that is for services received after June 1st.
The Department of Finance website provides helpful resources to help residents understand pay utility bills.
