REPORT to the
CHICAGO PLAN COMMISSION from the
DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SEPTEMBER 18, 2014
FOR APPROVAL: PROPOSED PLANNED DEVELOPMENT (APPLICATION NO.
17970) AND DEVELOPMENT PURSUANT TO THE LAKE MICHIGAN AND CHICAGO LAKEFRONT PROTECTION DISTRICT ORDINANCE (APPLICATION NO. 638)
APPLICANT: 1546 N. CLARK, LLC
LOCATION: 1546 NORTH CLARK STREET
Pursuant to the provisions of the Chicago Zoning Ordinance, Title 17 of the Municipal Code of Chicago, the Department of Planning and Development hereby submits this report and recommendation regarding a proposed Residential and Business Plan Development for your review and recommendation to the Chicago City Council. The application for this amendment to the Zoning Ordinance was introduced into the City Council on March 5, 2014.
In addition, pursuant to the provisions of the Chicago Zoning Ordinance, Title 16 of the Municipal Code of Chicago, the Department of Planning and Development hereby submits this report and recommendation regarding a proposal subject to the regulations and requirements of the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection Ordinance, as it applies to property located in the Private-Use Zone, for your review and final determination. This application for development approval was filed with the Department of Planning and Development on February 28, 2014.
Proper legal notice of the public hearing for both applications before the Chicago Plan Commission was published in the Chicago Sun-Times on September 3, 2014; the Applicant, 1546 N. Clark, LLC, was separately notified of this hearing.
The subject property is generally located at 1546 North Clark Street. The Applicant is proposing to create a planned development with two Sub Areas. Sub Area A will be a proposed 117'-0" tall mixed use building containing commercial use on the ground floor and 48 dwelling units on the floors above, additionally 48 parking stalls will be provided within Sub Area A. Sub Area B will consist of an existing one story commercial building, this Sub Area currently has zero parking stalls and two loading berths. The Applicant is requesting a rezoning of the property from B1-5 (Neighborhood Shopping District) and B3-5 (Community Shopping District) to a B3-5 (Community Shopping District) and then to a Residential and Business Planned Development.
1
FINAL
This request is being submitted as a mandatory planned development, pursuant to Section 17-8-0512-A, which states that the project must be reviewed and approved by the Chicago Plan Commission because the proposed development exceeds 80 feet in height in a B3-5 zoning district.
The subject site is located within the Private-Use Zone of the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection District; therefore, the proposed development of the site is regulated by Section 16-4-100 of the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection Ordinance.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The proposed planned development is under ownership control of 1546 N. Clark, LLC. The proposed planned development is comprised of a Sub Area B which is an existing one story commercial building to remain as is and a Sub Area A which includes a Chicago Landmark, the Village Theatre, which was built in 1916. The applicant has already appeared before the Commission on Chicago Landmarks for the proposed rehabilitation of the front portion of the Village Theater and demolition of the rear portion to accommodate new construction of a larger ground floor retail and residential development on the site and the adjacent property. Thus, Sub Area A would be a proposed new construction building added to the rehabilitated Village Theater building resulting in a mixed use building with commercial uses on the first floor and a portion of the second floor and 48 residential units on the floors above
SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located within the Near North Side Community Area, and the Old Town Neighborhood. The subject property is within the 2nd Ward (formerly having been located within the 42nd Ward).
The subject property is located at the southwest corner of North Clark Street and West North Avenue and is located adjacent to business, commercial, and residential uses. East of the subject site are parcels of land zoned POS-1, Regional or Community Park District, and PD #891, Institutional Planned Development. North of the site are parcels of land zoned B1-3, Neighborhood Shopping District, and RM-5, Residential Multi-Unit District. West of the site are parcels of land zoned B1-5, Neighborhood Shopping District, B3-5, Community Shopping District, RM-5, Residential Multi-Unit District, and RM6.5 Residential Multi-Unit District. South of the site is PD #14, a very large residential planned development. The subject site is located in the Private Use Zone of the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection District. The site is not located within a designated Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District. As mentioned previously the site does include the designated Chicago Landmark, the Village Theatre.
The site is served by Chicago Transit Authority bus routes #9 (Ashland), #22 (Clark), #36 (Broadway), #37 (Sedgwick), #70 (Division), #72 (North), #73 (Armitage), #151 (Sheridan) and #156 (LaSalle), all having stops located within approximately 1/2-mile of the site; the Chicago Transit Authority also has the Sedgwick Station along the Brown Line and Purple Line and the Clark Station along the Red Line within V2 mile of the subject site.

FINAL
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The site consists of approximately 30,279 square feet (approximately .67 acres). The site has two parcels which are defined as Sub-Area A and Sub-Area B. Sub-Area A is currently improved with a one story retail restaurant, a two story mixed use building and a landmark theater. In the proposed planned development the front 50'-0" of the theater will be preserved, however the interior of the theater will be demolished and reused as part of the new development. The other two buildings will be demolished and a new 116'-0" tall mixed use building with 48 dwelling units and commercial use on the first floor would be constructed; a mechanical penthouse would be located on the roof of the building. Additionally, 48 parking spaces and one (1) loading berth would be provided on this Sub-Area. Sub-Area B is currently improved with an existing one story commercial building, zero (0) parking stalls, and two (2) loading berths all of which will remain as is and there is no proposed construction on that Sub-Area.
DESIGN
The proposed mixed use building will be primarily constructed of masonry. The first floor of the building will be finished in masonry stone, floors two through nine will be finished in face brick and include aluminum windows with stone surrounds, and finally the top floor of the building will be finished in masonry stone. The design will clearly demonstrate that the building has a bottom, middle, and a top. The aforementioned is achieved by using cornices and similar enhancements as suggested in the Chicago Zoning Ordinance under section 17-08-0907-A. The building is also built abutting the sidewalk with doors, windows and active uses adjacent to the public way.
LANDSCAPING AND SUSTAINABILITY
The entire planned development will be compliant with the requirements of the Chicago Landscape Ordinance specifically in terms of parkway trees. Additionally, the proposed development will include storm water compliance.
The subject site will be designed to be in compliance with the current City of Chicago Sustainable Development policy and will provide a vegetated roof totaling a minimum of 50% of the net roof area which equates to 8,900 square feet of area. Additionally, the subject building will obtain a LEED certification.
ACCESS/CIRCULATION
The interior automobile parking, bicycle parking/storage and loading berths will be designed to be compliant with chapter 10 of the Chicago Zoning Ordinance. The project will provide 42 parking spaces and 24 bicycle parking spaces. The vehicle parking, bicycle parking, and loading areas will be accessed via a driveway from North Sandburg Terrace.
BULK/USE/DENSITY
The proposed project will be a 48 dwelling unit residential building with commercial uses on the ground floor. The current maximum allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for the proposed underlying zoning district (B3-5) is 5.0; the proposed planned development will be limited to
3
FFNAL
this maximum. The proposed project will have a maximum building height of 117'-0". The minimum lot area per unit (MLA) for the site will be 604 square feet. The proposed planned development will maintain setbacks that are in compliance with the requirements of the B3-5 zoning designation. All remaining bulk, use and density items will be in substantial compliance with the stipulations of Section 17-3-0400 for B3-5 zoning districts.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Planning and Development has reviewed the project materials submitted by the Applicant and compared this proposal to the requirements of the Chicago Zoning Ordinance and other development in the community. The area around this project is a diverse mix of commercial, office, open space and residential developments and is near Lake Michigan and Lincoln Park. Based on the entirety of the Department's analysis, DPD has concluded that this proposal is appropriate for this site and supports this development for the following reasons:
- Ensures adequate public review of major development proposals (per 17-8-0101), as evidenced by the various public meeting(s) held in the community by the Applicant;
- Promotes unified planning and development (per 17-8-0102), as evidenced through the coordination of the proposed use of the subject property; the planned development preserves a landmark, creates a sub-area that keeps an existing use intact, and creates a new building the fits the context of the neighborhood in terms of proposed uses and access;
- Promotes economically beneficial development patterns that are compatible with the character of existing neighborhoods (per 17-8-0103), as evidenced by the proposed design, massing and proposed uses of the building, with those such specifics being in context with the character of the immediate community;
- Ensures a level of amenities appropriate to the nature and scale of the project (per 17-8-0104), as evidenced by the commercial and residential provisions which are designed to serve the building's residents and adjacent community, while being in general accordance with the requirements of the Chicago Zoning Ordinance;
- Promotes transit, pedestrian and bicycle use, ensures accessibility for persons with disabilities and minimizes conflicts with existing traffic patterns in the vicinity (per 17-8-0904-A-2, 3 & 4), as evidenced through the site's proximity to public transit, the accommodations made on-site for pedestrian and bicycle use and the site's enhanced level of pedestrian accessibility;
- Properly screens associated parking within the building (per 17-08-0904-C-2) and provides active uses around any above-grade multi-level parking structures (per 17-08-0904-D-4), as evidenced through the access to the below, and at-grade levels of the enclosed parking being made available for all users;
- Provides safe and attractive walkways and pedestrian routes (per 17-8-0905-A-1), as evidenced by the provisions made to improve the city parkways with required landscape improvements as well as required CDOT improvements along the perimeter of the property and the fact that the site is in close proximity to Lincoln Park and the nearby lakefront park and trail system;
H) Provides structures that allow for pedestrian entrances from the surrounding
4
FINAL
sidewalks (per 17-8-0905-B-2), as evidenced by the construction to the edge of the site's property lines and the provision of access to the commercial and residential uses from the public sidewalk; I) Promotes environmentally sustainable development practices (per 17-8-0908-A), as evidenced through the installation of a green roof system covering approximately 8,900 square feet (50% of roof net site area) and that the building will achieve LEED certification.
The project meets the purpose and criteria set forth in the Chicago Zoning Ordinance and its adoption would not have any adverse impact on the public's health, safety or welfare:
- The site lies within the boundaries of the Private-Use Zone of the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection District, the plan of which was originally adopted by the Chicago City Council in 1972; per 17-13-0308-A, this proposed development adheres to the goals and objectives of that plan, as described more thoroughly in a subsequent entry to the Recommendation section of this report.
- Per 17-13-0308-B, the perpetuation of the scope and scale of this mixed-use development, within the parameters described above and in a manner that is consistent with adjacent improvements, aligns with the City's long-term goal of establishing sustainable neighborhoods.
- Per 17-13-0308-C, the proposed development is compatible with surrounding commercial and residential development in terms of land use, as well as, the density and scale of the physical structures.
- Per 17-13-0308-D, the proposed underlying zoning for this planned development (B3-5) is generally consistent with other zoning districts, both adjacent to this site and in the immediate area.
- Per 17-13-0308-E, the public infrastructure facilities and City services are adequate to serve the proposed development and the project does comply with the requirements for access in case of fire and other emergencies. The proposed project has been reviewed by the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities and the Department of Transportation 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.
The Department of Planning and Development has reviewed the project materials submitted by the Applicant and has concluded that this proposal would be in compliance with the applicable Policies of the Lakefront Plan of Chicago and the Purposes of the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection Ordinance, as they apply to development in the Private-Use Zone, specifically:
- Policy No. 3 (Continue to improve the water quality and ecological balance of Lake Michigan) - This project will comply with all applicable City and Metropolitan Water Reclamation District regulations pertaining to the management of wastewater and storm water runoff and will not negatively impact the purity and quality of the waters of Lake Michigan.
- Policy No. 8 (Increase personal safety) - The project will bring increased pedestrian and bicycle activity to the area which will provide a more active presence to the

proposed site.
3. Policy No. 14 (Coordinate all public and private development within the water, park and community zones) - This site is located within the Private-Use Zone and the development has been coordinated with the appropriate City departments and community to minimize the impact of construction and to ensure it remains in context with the surrounding neighborhood.
With respect to the Policies and Purposes not enumerated here, the Department of Planning and Development has determined that they are either not applicable to development in the Private-Use Zone or that the proposed project will not have a detrimental effect on the Lake Michigan shoreline or any wildlife habitats therein. The proposed project also does not contemplate the introduction of new roadways directly connecting to the lakefront, does not reduce existing open space and does not interfere with existing access to, or use of, Lake Michigan and its park system.
Based on the foregoing, the Department of Planning Development has the following dual recommendation:
- That this application for establishment of a planned development be approved and that the recommendation to the City Council Committee on Zoning, Landmarks and Building Standards be "Passage Recommended"; and,
- That this application, being in conformance with the provisions of the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection Ordinance, be approved, subject to compliance with the Site and Landscape Plans and Building Elevations dated September 18, 2014, and presented before you today.
