The first Zoning Ordinance in Chicago was enacted in 1923. This paper is to review the formation of the ordinance and its height and bulk regulations in light of the relationship to the building height limitations, which had been in force for thirty years. Specifically, this paper is to focus on: 1) how the city of Chicago drafted the zoning ordinance in creating the relation to stakeholders such as citizens, communities, real estate interests, land owners, and business groups; 2) on what basis the city decided the height and bulk regulations on tall buildings and how the height limitations, enacted for thirty years, influenced the decision; 3) how the enacted height and bulk regulations reflected the change in the city.
