Windy City Times has learned that Living with Pride, the sober living space for LGBT people that was the subject of a contentious zoning hearing last September, lost its appeal to remain in its current spot at 2543 W. Cullom.
A spokesperson for the city's zoning board of appeals confirmed that the board had denied the appeal by Living with Pride. In the September hearing, representatives of the house argued against Zoning Commissioner Patricia Scudiero's decision that the house needed to be re-zoned to stay in the same location. Some of its neighbors, as well as 47th Ward Alderman Eugene Schulter, had said that they would oppose such a move to re-zone.
Though the executive director and founder of Living with Pride, Dr. Claudia Mosier, declined to comment for this article, court records show that Living with Pride has filed an appeal for administrative review of the board's decision in the Cook County Circuit Court.
Pending the appeal, Living with Pride remains at its current location in the North Center neighborhood. On March 1, Mosier and residents will observe the first anniversary of the opening of the house. |
