Rare downzoning in ArlingtonHtsGov aimed at preserving century-old homes
It's the first downzoning in Arlington Heights in some 25 years, and rare that all residents in the neighborhood were on board, village officials say.
"We don't have a historic preservation district in the village, but we essentially have created this de facto one," said Tom Gaynor, the association's board president."This neighborhood has decided it's worthy of preserving and that the investments that the homeowners are making to maintain the historic integrity of the neighborhood is something that the village should really celebrate. It really makes this a special neighborhood.
The zoning change -- technically, from Arlington Heights' R-6 multiple-family dwelling district to R-3 one-family dwelling district -- covers five houses on St. James Street, one on Fremont Street and one on Chestnut Avenue. The board also amended the village comprehensive plan to change six properties from a single-family attached classification -- which generally correlates to townhouses -- to single-family detached.
