West Englewood, located between Garfield Boulevard and 75th Street, is a residential and industrial Chicago neighborhood with a grid of brick two-flats and broad commercial corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along 63rd Street near Ashland Avenue, where corner groceries, barbershops, and storefront services line the blocks. Kennedy-King College anchors the area with a campus presence and public-facing programs. Lindblom Park’s fieldhouse and open lawns shape daily routines around recreation and green space. Rail lines and wide arterials frame the edges, giving the streetscape a big-shouldered, working-city feel.

The primary purpose of the C1, Neighborhood Commercial district is to accommodate a very broad range of small-scale, business, service and commercial uses.; C1 zoning is distinguished from B1 zoning by the range of use types allowed: C1 permits more intensive, more auto-oriented commercial use types than does B1. The C1 district also allows taverns and liquor stores by-right.; The C1 district permits residential dwelling units above the ground floor.; C1 zoning is generally intended to be applied in compact nodes, at the intersection of two or more major streets, or in a cohesive linear fashion along streets.; The C1 district can be combined with the dash 1, dash 1.5, dash 2, dash 3 or dash 5 bulk and density designations.
