A group of West Side Chicago residents is demanding answers about a potential zoning code violation, pollution and community jobs for a long-delayed Amazon warehouse in the Humboldt Park neighborhood.
Ramsin Canon, who represents the residents, said in order to build a freight facility on land meant for manufacturing, a company must apply for a special use permit. He said no such permit was obtained and therefore Amazon bypassed a closer evaluation of its proposal from the city, as well as more community input over how the land is used.
