Purple areas of the above screen shot show regions of the McKinley Park neighborhood where residences can be developed with no parking.

No parking spaces will need to be added for any residential development in most of Chicago's McKinley Park neighborhood and across vast swathes of the city. 

The Chicago City Council unanimously passed Ordinance SO2025-0015577 on July 16, 2025 , which expands areas where residential developments can be built with zero parking spaces.

Only a slice of the McKinley Park neighborhood's residential area on its south-east side containing predominantly single-family homes and two-flats is not affected by the ordinance. 

Notably, the large planned developments at West 33rd and South Justine streets -- with 231 residences -- and the planned Central Manufacturing District warehouse development at 1769 W. Pershing Road -- with 172 residences -- will be exempt from requirements to provide any off-street parking.
