The city’s planning department is establishing its first design committee of outside experts to weigh in on major developments before they get built.
The Committee on Design, appointed by the Department of Planning and Development, will advise the city and developers about innovative, attractive and cost-effective elements, officials said. The 24 unpaid members include architects, artists, academics and real estate professionals.
The committee will be an extra stop for projects that already must get approval from department staff, the City Council and, in some cases, the Chicago Plan Commission. But officials said the committee will streamline reviews and approvals by clarifying designs early in the process.

Aldermen on Tuesday advanced plans to create a new neighborhood on what was once the Moody Bible Institute’s campus on the Near North Side, putting one of the largest residential developments in Chicago in decades one step away from final approval.

The City Council’s Zoning Committee unanimously endorsed the $1.3 billion plan to transform 8.1 acres sandwiched between the CTA Brown Line and the Gold Coast into the North Union neighborhood, featuring 2,656 homes and apartments, 30,000 square feet of shops and stores and 2.5 acres of parks and open space.

Hoping to muster developer interest in more neighborhood commercial stretches, city planners are soliciting proposals for two parts of Humboldt Park and property straddling South Shore and South Chicago.
The Department of Planning and Development issued the “request for proposals” as part of Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s Invest South/West initiative. Responses are due Aug. 31 and officials want to pick winning proposals later this year after getting community feedback.
The effort follows two other rounds of RFPs the city has issued for sites in seven communities. It has chosen the winning development plans in three of them Auburn Gresham, Austin and Englewood. Together, those areas have drawn projects worth about $65 million.
