Summary
Tour a recent ADU success story with Steven Vance, CEO of Chicago Cityscape and Katherine Darnstadt, AIA, Founding Principal at Latent Design, with the AIA Chicago EDI Committee.
Coach houses were re-legalized in the City of Chicago in December 2020, and only a small number have been built under the new ordinance pilot program that started in May 2021. The construction of secondary units have the potential to allow individuals to remain in their neighborhood, despite rising property taxes.
According to the City of Chicago, ADUs were common in Chicago throughout the first half of the 20th century, but their construction was prohibited starting in 1957 due to changes in the zoning ordinance that added parking requirements and banned secondary residential structures on Chicago lots. The ADU ordinance allows for the creation of new units for homeowners needing extra income, or those who wish to create separate spaces for multi-generational families.” (Citation)
