Plan Commission to Hear 2800 N Sheridan Planned Development
Chicago Plan Commission lists a Nov. 19 hearing on a new lakefront planned development at 2800 N Sheridan and a PD 1019 carve-out.
- Source Briefing
- Public record
Chicago’s Plan Commission has scheduled a Nov. 19, 2026 hearing on three linked applications for the property at 2800 N Sheridan Road in Lake View, a lakefront site that includes the historic Elks National Memorial. These are proposals as filed; nothing has been approved.
Why it matters
Lakefront parcels trigger the city’s Lakefront Protection Ordinance, which adds a separate review layer on top of zoning. A reshaped planned development on a site this visible, next to Lincoln Park, can set precedent for how much density and what mix of uses the city accepts along the shoreline.

The numbers
The agenda describes three filings by the applicant, 2800 Sheridan Land LLC. The first is an amendment to Planned Development 1019 to remove Sub-Area 3 from that district (application 23118). The second is a new Residential Business Planned Development (application 23117) in two sub-areas across abutting wards, the 43rd and 44th, with the 2800 N Sheridan property becoming Sub-Area A. The third is Lakefront Protection Ordinance application 805. The new district would incorporate the Elks National Memorial.
The agenda text we reviewed does not state unit counts, building heights or project cost. Those would be in the as-filed PD application PDF posted with the hearing materials, which we could not retrieve for this brief.
What’s next
The Plan Commission votes only to recommend; City Council must act separately before any zoning change takes effect. Watch for the applicant’s full filing, ward-office meetings and any neighborhood response ahead of Nov. 19. More in Chicago.
ON THE RECORD: Applicant, application numbers and scope are from the Plan Commission’s November 2026 agenda. All items are proposals as filed.
