PRESERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT SUBCOMMITTEE
PROJECT REVIEW PROCESS AND DESIGN GUIDELINES
PROJECT REVIEW PROCESS
Step 1
The review process is started with an email to development@wickerparkcommittee.org stating the name and email address of the project representative providing that information. The Preservation & Development subcommittee will email an Intake Form that lists items required for the submittal process.
Step 2
The Intake Form must be returned via email. The subcommittee typically meets the third Tuesday of each month. Please indicate the month in which you wish the project to be reviewed. The subcommittee will send an email indicating the date, time and location of the review.
The project materials as listed on the Intake Form and discussed in the Design Guidelines and Required Review and Presentation Materials documents must be delivered to each committee member by 5 p.m. at least 4 business days prior to the sub-committee meeting date (i.e., on or before Thursday evening preceding the Tuesday evening meeting). Proposals for which the materials are not complete or which are not delivered by the deadline will be reviewed the following month.
Step 3
The project representative(s) will present all pertinent materials illustrating the proposed project to the Preservation & Development Subcommittee for review and comment by the committee members. After the presentation the representative(s) will be excused and the subcommittee members will discuss project and formulate the subcommittee’s position.
Step 4
The subcommittee will present its recommendations for review by the Board of the Wicker Park Committee.
Step 5
Depending upon the subcommittee’s recommendations, the project representative may be asked to return to the Preservation & Development Subcommittee for additional review of revised materials or said parties may be asked to present the development plans to the general membership at the next regularly scheduled meeting for a vote of the general membership. If the project representative is not asked to present to the general membership, skip Step 7.
Step 6
The General Membership Meeting is typically held on the first Wednesday of each month (see our calendar), and the presentation will be identified by the project address on the meeting agenda available at the meeting. Prior to the project’s presentation the Subcommittee Chairperson will present the subcommittee’s recommendations to the general membership. After the project presentation a simple vote (for, against, or abstain) will be taken of all members present.
Step 7
The project representative, the applicable alderman, and/or any other relevant parties shall receive a letter noting the WPC’s recommendations concerning said project. Should the project be recommended for an additional review by the Preservation and Development Subcommittee return to step 1 to schedule a review by the subcommittee.
