The suit alleges the building was improperly classified under the city’s zoning code and should have gone through a special use and approval process before the city’s Zoning Board of Appeal.
A cyclist rides past the Amazon warehouse at the corner of Division Street and Kostner Avenue in the West Humboldt Park neighborhood on Aug. 22, 2023.
The complaint alleges the 140,000-square-foot facility should have been designated a “freight terminal” under the city’s zoning code, which Madden alleges would have required Amazon to go through a special use process in front of the city’s Zoning Board of Appeal.“Defendant constructed, maintains and uses the property in a way that violates or will violate local ordinances adopted pursuant to the city’s home rule zoning authority,” the complaint alleges.
A special use process would have required the notification of residents within a certain distance of the facility, the lawsuit alleges. It would have also required the project to be approved by the zoning board. The lawsuit asks Cook County Circuit Court Judge Anna M. Loftus to grant a preliminary injunction prohibiting the operation of the building as a freight terminal until Amazon receives special use permissions to do so.for around two years.
