La Grange Board of Adjustments — January 14, 2026
A pocket of older homes sits on land zoned I-1 Light Industrial along East Jefferson Street, so anyone rebuilding needs variances and a special waiver. The board and speakers discussed whether the whole area should be rezoned to commercial neighborhood (CN), which would eliminate the setback hurdles. This affects what can be built on several small lots in the neighborhood.
