Maywood TOD Zoning Code Update
The RTA is assisting the Village of Maywood to amend the Village’s Zoning Code in the downtown area as recommended in the Maywood TOD Plan Update, completed through the RTA’s Community Planning program in 2020. Code updates will foster the type of development envisioned in the plan, address current parking in downtown Maywood, and respond to the historic nature of the area. The project’s focus area includes Lake Street and 5th Avenue.
This project began in 2023 with a series of community engagement events to gather input from the public on potential amendments. These included stakeholder interviews, a public open house, and an elected/appointed officials roundtable discussion with the Maywood Planning Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals. Based on Village staff review of initial recommendations, the project team developed draft zoning amendments for Village consideration. Following review by Village staff and relevant committees, the project team finalized the amendments. In December 2024, the Village's Plan Commission/Zoning Board of Appeals recommended adoption of the amendments. The Village Board of Trustees will be considering the amendments for adoption in early January 2025.
