The Housing Sub-Committee backed several zoning updates that would affect how homes can be altered or expanded in Skokie. The changes include adaptive reuse rules, front porch and open front porch standards, and allowing some vertical expansion within an existing home footprint. Members also supported narrowing how far an open-air terrace or porch can extend into the front yard to 6 feet, and staff said the usual front-yard and lot-coverage limits would not change for these amendments.
