Zoning Dashboard has been a core feature for Address Snapshot reports of Chicago address, properties, and buildings, and it's time to change the name.

Zoning Dashboard has added more and more features over the years that it's become more like a "Zoning Assessment", wherein our system can automatically create limited zoning reports. 

What's new with Zoning Assessment?

1. All uses are shown

The Zoning Dashboard used to only show uses (businesses and building types) that were permitted or required a special use. Now, Zoning Assessment shows all uses, including the ones that aren't permitted except after a zoning map change (rezoning).

2. Parking requirements

Zoning Assessment can now describe parking requirements for residential uses at a given location. Parking requirements for non-residential uses require more inputs (like project scope, number of employees, size of the business or building) which currently can only be done in a personalized Zoning Assessment.

3. The latest map

This is a routine update, but our Chicago zoning map is current for all the rezonings adopted at the April and May 2020 City Council meetings.  

• Address Snapshot reports now show the most recent zoning districts, in addition to being able to show past zoning at that location
• Site Locator, our tool to find where in Chicago certain businesses or building types are allowed, has the latest map

4. Nothing - go look up an address
