Neighborhood Meeting: Rezoning of 1603 East Washington Street from B-3 to R-5

The City of Urbana has requested a rezoning of 1603 East Washington Street, at the intersection of Washington Street and Lierman Avenue, from B-3, General Business to R-5, Medium High Density Residential. The City has received a proposal for an affordable housing development at the location, which the R-5 district would allow.

The City acquired 1603 East Washington Street in 2012 and leased it to a non-profit for use as a community garden until June of 2022, when the non-profit dissolved. The land is now vacant and the garden is no longer being maintained.
