Amazon sued over planned West Humboldt Park facility – Chicago Tribune*

The lawsuit, filed in Cook County Circuit Court Tuesday on behalf of resident Maura Madden, alleges Amazon’s planned delivery facility was improperly classified under the city’s zoning code and should have gone through a special use and approval process before the city’s Zoning Board of Appeals. Madden is suing under a state law that gives people who live within 1,200 feet of a property the ability to sue in order to “restrain, correct, or abate the violation (of an ordinance or ordinances)."
