A state lawmaker is defending a measure he filed that would ban zoning units from exclusively zoning for single family residential use.
State Representative Kam Buckner maintains the position that his ban would only apply to major cities in Illinois, despite language in the bill saying the ban would apply to counties who have adopted zoning regulations.
Buckner said his bill is not a ban, despite the bill being called the “Single Family Zoning Ban Act.
Buckner said the bill is intended to increase density in underdeveloped areas in places like Chicago. Buckner said when the density increases you can create more affordability.
