Upzoning Proposal Would Bring 7‑Story Development to 22nd & Federal
A major redevelopment is being proposed for the Family Star Montessori: a 242‑unit apartment building requiring an upzoning from the current 3‑story limit to a 7‑story building on the north side, stepping down to 6 stories on the south.
If approved, this rezoning would substantially influence the scale, character, and street‑level activity of Jefferson Park and set a precedent for future development along the corridor.
