The site is currently zoned as C1-2, Neighborhood Commercial District, and is home to multiple one-story retail buildings as the site expands over addresses 4511-4523 N Clark Street. These buildings will be demolished and replaced with the new building, which has been approved to receive a B3-3, Community Shopping District, zoning which will allow for the size and scope of the development.
