An ordinance modifying People's Ordinance No. 2, 1975 — which ordinance presently states that Block 142 (previously known as Lincoln Park and now known as Library Park) shall continue to be a public park and that no more than 5% of the area devoted to open-space park purposes shall be used as the site for construction of additional buildings or parking facilities — to state instead that 85% of Library Park will remain open park space, so that the ground floor of the library building can be expanded, using existing Library District funds, by building down from the existing overhangs of the building, thereby adding 6,000 square feet to the building.
