ZONING: Chicago’s B1-2 (Neighborhood Shopping District) zoning is intended to support small-scale, pedestrian-oriented retail and service uses that serve surrounding residential neighborhoods while allowing residential units above commercial space. The B1 designation focuses on storefront-style development along neighborhood commercial corridors with relatively lower traffic volumes compared to larger commercial districts. The “-2” suffix refers to bulk and density standards, allowing moderate residential density and building intensity.
In general, B1-2 zoning encourages mixed-use buildings with retail or service uses on the ground floor and apartments or offices above. The district typically supports walkable neighborhood commercial corridors and is commonly found along smaller commercial streets throughout Chicago. In B1-2 districts, residential uses are permitted above the ground floor, but ground-floor residential typically requires special approval in most cases.
Permitted Uses are available on the Zoning Page.
