REPORT to the
CHICAGO PLAN COMMISSION from the
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
JUNE 16, 2011
FOR APPROVAL: PROPOSED INSTITUTIONAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
APPLICANT: THE FOUNDATION FOR EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED CHILDREN
LOCATION: 910-44 EAST 63rd STREET, 6217-59 SOUTH INGLESIDE AVENUE
and 6220-36 and 6240-58 SOUTH ELLIS AVENUE
Pursuant to the provisions of the Chicago Zoning Ordinance, Title 17 of the Municipal Code of Chicago, the Department of Housing and Economic Development hereby submits this report and recommendation on a proposed Institutional Planned Development for your review and recommendation to the Chicago City Council. The application for the amendment to the Chicago Zoning Ordinance was introduced into the City Council on April 16, 2011. Proper legal notice of the public hearing on the application was published in the Chicago Sun-Times on June 1, 2011. The Applicant was separately notified of this hearing.
The Applicant, The Foundation for Emotionally Disturbed Children, is seeking approval for an Institutional Planned Development on property currently zoned RM5, Residential Multi-Use District, in order to permit the construction of two schools, a dormitory building, an auditorium and recreational facilities. This development is being submitted by the Applicant as a mandatory Planned Development pursuant to Section 17-8-0506, which states that Planned Development review and approval is required when the proposal involves a school with a net site area of two acres or more; the subject property has a net site area of 137,341 square feet, or 3.15 acres.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The Foundation For Emotionally Disturbed Children, through its affiliates, the Hyde Park Day School, a not-for-profit elementary school for children with learning disabilities, and the Sonia Shankman Orthogenic School, a not-for-profit, educational and residential treatment program for children and adolescents with profound emotional issues, provides an academic and residential treatment option for young people who might otherwise need to

be institutionalized.
In operation since 1915, these organizations have significant experience managing education, treatment and housing for the severely mentally impaired. This new facility will replace their existing leased premises on the campus of the University of Chicago. This educational, therapeutic and residential mixture is one of only four properties of its kind in the entire City of Chicago and the only one on the south side.
SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located within Chicago's Woodlawn Community Area and the 20th Ward. It is surrounded by areas zoned RM5 (Residential Multi-Use District) to the north, east and west and by Residential Planned Development No. 723 to the east and south. The site is within the boundaries of the Woodlawn Tax Increment Finance District, but is not located within the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection District or a Chicago Landmark District.
The site is served by the Chicago Transit Authority's bus routes #4 (Cottage Grove), #5 (South Shore), #6 (Jackson Park Express), #15 (Jeffrey Local), #28 (Stony Island Local), #28X (Stony Island Express), #59 (59th/61st) and #63 (63rd); a CTA rail station at East 63rd/Cottage Grove on the Green Line; and, the Metra Electric and South Shore Lines via a station on 63rd Street; all located within approximately one mile of the site.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Applicant is proposing to construct a one-to-three-story, 73,500 square foot complex which will house the Hyde Park Day School, the Sonia Shankman Orthogenic School and the Special Needs Residential Building, which will contain 45 residential dormitory units. The facility will also contain a shared auditorium, indoor recreational space and a dining hall. In addition, there will be separate outdoor play areas for the younger and older students, a therapeutic garden and on-site parking for 20 bicycles and 72 vehicles, including three accessible spaces.
The schools will preserve their approximately 100 full-time teachers and staff and expect to create an additional 20 full-time positions. The project will also generate an estimated 300 construction jobs. The project is positioned to break ground no later than Spring 2012, in order to minimize any disruption at the end of the current lease; construction will take an estimated 19-22 months.
DESIGN
The Hyde Park Day School will face East 63rd Street and hold the corner at South Ingleside Avenue. The Sonia Shankman Orthogenic School will connect with Hyde Park and continue north up South Ingleside Avenue before turning east to create the courtyard that will become a therapeutic garden for the students. Adjacent to the garden, and located immediately north of Hyde Park, will be the outdoor play areas; additional open space will be provided via a playfield north of Sonia Shankman. The fencing surrounding that northern-most playfield will be 12-15 feet high; the remainder of the site will have the traditional 4-foot ornamental fencing.

FINAL FOR PUBLICMIUN
FINAL
The buildings will fluctuate between one and three-stories and remain within the character and scale of the surrounding residential neighborhood while establishing a significant visual presence along East 63rd Street. The buildings will be constructed of stone panels on the lower portions of the exterior and brick for the remaining upper areas; setbacks will vary along the northern, southern and western facades. Aluminum-framed windows will be present throughout all elevations and separate plaza entrances, with glass curtain walls under metal clad canopies, have been provided for both schools. The roofline will have alternating curved and flat portions to provide further aesthetic appeal. The maximum height throughout this entire structure will be approximately 45 feet.
Teacher, staff and visitor access, along with all loading and student drop-off areas, will be via the L-shaped alley which will be constructed specifically for this project. The applicant will apply to the Department of Transportation for vacation of the current alley system in order to establish a new circulation pattern, as well as its 72-space parking facility, in the northeastern quadrant of the site.
LANDSCAPING
The perimeter of the campus and surface parking facility will include fencing, shrubbery and street tree plantings in grated pits. The parking lot islands, as well as the separate accessible parking area, will have sod, shrubbery and tree plantings. In addition, a landscaped plaza will be created along South Ingleside Avenue and a smaller, sod and stone plaza will be established along South Ellis Avenue.
ACCESS/CIRCULATION
Security and safety for students, their families, visitors, teachers and staff requires limited, controlled points of access, in addition to a separation of vehicular from strictly pedestrian activity. The division of the parking, loading and drop-off areas from the pedestrian entrance plazas for the students provides distinct and predictable ingress and egress to and from the school and the areas designated for vehicular use.
Teacher, staff and visitor access, along with all loading and student drop-off areas, will be via the L-shaped alley which will be constructed specifically for this project. The applicant will apply to the Department of Transportation for vacation of the current alley system in order to establish a new circulation pattern, as well as its 72-space parking facility, in the northeastern quadrant of the site.
Students arriving via public transportation, walking or on bicycles will have clearly marked and distinct plazas through which they can access their specific school. In addition, the entrances will be located away from East 63rd Street and students will not have to navigate the parking and alley system in order to reach the doors of the building. Once inside, the layout of this new facility will allow for complete internal connections between both schools and amongst all shared elements.
SUSTAINABILITY
The Applicant will be pursuing Leadership in Energy and Environmental, Design, Silver certification, for this development. Features of this plan will include a state-of-the-art green

roof (covering 50 percent of the net roof area, or 18,485 square feet), solar thermal panels that will augment domestic hot water and air-conditioning, a high-efficiency heating and cooling system, rain cisterns allowing storm water to be recaptured and used for irrigation and water features (the project will comply with the Stormwater Management Ordinance, implementing best practices in all storm water management), low toxin building paint and stains to provide clean indoor air quality that will be supplemented with high efficiency ventilation filters. It will have energy efficient windows that will maximize natural light via their quantity, positioning and size and will help minimize energy run-off. Finally, both schools will implement a recycling program and construct a greenhouse that will be used for academic purposes.
BULK/USE/DENSITY
The proposed Floor Area Ratio for this Institutional Planned Development will be 0.60, which is less than the allowed 2.0 under an RM5 district. The proposed maximum allowable height of buildings will be 50 feet; the proposed maximum height throughout the entire complex is approximately 45 feet all of which are in substantial compliance with the underlying RM5 zoning. This Institutional Planned Development also proposes the following uses: a school, transitional residence, open space and accessory uses all of which are allowed in the RM5, Residential Multi-Unit District.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Housing and Economic Development has reviewed the project materials submitted by the Applicant and has concluded that the proposed development would be appropriate for the site for the following reasons:
1. The project meets the purpose and criteria set forth in Chapter 17-8 of the Zoning Ordinance and its adoption would not have any adverse impact on the public's health, safety or welfare. Specifically, this project meets the following provisions of Chapter 17-8:
a. Promotes economically beneficial development patterns that are compatible with the character of existing neighborhoods (per 17-8-0103), as evidenced through its design and massing staying within context of adjacent structures;
b. Promotes the safe and efficient circulation of pedestrians, cyclists and motor vehicles (17-8-0904-A-1), as evidenced through its parking and vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle plan;
c. Promotes transit, pedestrian and bicycle use (17-8-0904-A-2), as evidenced through its work with the Chicago Transit Authority to relocate a bus shelter on East 63rd Street to better facilitate transit access for its students, parents, visitors and neighborhood residents;
d. Minimizes and mitigates traffic congestion associated with the proposed development (17-8-0904-A-5), as evidenced through the drop-off areas being placed on side streets and the parking facilities being located behind the buildings and not feeding directly into East 63rd Street;
e. All sides and areas of the buildings that are visible to the public are treated with materials, finishes and architectural details that are of high-quality and appropriate for use on primary street-facing fagade (17-8-0907-A-4), as evidenced through the material callouts in this report and on the elevations;

g. Provides significant perimeter landscaping and setbacks in areas adjacent to residential districts (per 17-8-0909-D), as evidenced through the green space and setbacks identified in plans.
2. The proposed facility will allow the Hyde Park Day School and the Sonia Shankman Orthogenic School to continue their social outreach, therapeutic and educational missions and will greatly enhance the aesthetics of, and long-term prospects for, continuation of their operations;
3. The public infrastructure facilities and city services will be adequate to serve the proposed development at the time of occupancy. The proposed amendment has been reviewed by the Chicago Department of Transportation's Project Review Committee and all requested changes have been made. Copies of this application have been circulated to other City departments and agencies and no comments have been received which have not been addressed in the application.
4. The project will comply with the requirements for access in case of fire and other emergencies.
Based on the foregoing, it is the recommendation of the Department of Housing and Economic Development that this application for an Institutional Planned Development be approved and that the recommendation to the City Council Committee on Zoning be "Passage Recommended".
