Clearing, located between Midway International Airport and the Village of Bedford Park, is a residential and industrial Chicago neighborhood with bungalow-lined blocks and a freight-rail backdrop. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Archer Avenue near 63rd Street, where corner taverns, long-running diners, and small storefronts set a steady, working-street rhythm. Midway Airport anchors the landscape with constant motion and big-sky sightlines. Hale Park adds a green break for courts, fields, and casual laps. Brick two-flats and sturdy postwar homes give the streets a practical, uniform look. Local staples like Weber’s Bakery, Garfield Ridge Inn, and Midway Classic Grill serve as familiar gathering spots.

The primary purpose of the RS districts is to accommodate the development of detached houses on individual lots. It is intended that RS zoning be applied in areas where the land-use pattern is characterized predominately by detached houses on individual lots or where such a land use pattern is desired in the future. The Zoning Ordinance includes three RS districts - RS2 - which are differentiated primarily on the basis of minimum lot area requirements and floor area ratios.
