Anyone know if coach houses are coming back?

Apparently both Rahm and Lori have discussed bringing back coach houses, but I haven't seen anyone actually trying (outside of Oak Park). We have a garage where a coach house used to stand and the garage has a cement block chimney under the floor, so we know something used to be there.

Based on the current ordinance, it looks like we can't even turn it back into one that used to be there, so our options are to build without telling the city or sit around waiting for the city to finally re-allow coach houses. Has anyone heard or know of an ordinance that's been discussed for something like that?
