City of Chicago Narrative and Plans for Type-1 Zoning Map Amendment at 1733-35 West Potomac Avenue, Chicago, Illinois from RS3 to RT4

Zoning Analysis:
The owner applicants are seeking to rezone the property commonly known as 1733-35 West Potomac Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60622-3235 to an RT4 on an existing zoning lot measuring 46' x 100' with an existing 2 story single family residence. The owners are proposing a new rear attached addition which will increase the floor area and this change will allow a building height increase to accommodate new solar panels to be installed. The subject property contains an existing 2 car garage which will remain. The setbacks may require a variation at the Zoning Board of Appeals Office. The owner applicants' request for a zoning change will not change the current use of the subject property; it will allow owner applicants to make certain environmental improvements (i.e. the installation of solar panels) to the subject property that require additional height not allowed in the current RS-3 zoning classification. The proposed rezoning is appropriate because it is compatible with the neighborhood's character, the other rezoning and the growth and development trends in the area.
FAR: Existing Building Size = 2,088 sq. ft. The Lot Area is 4,600 sq. ft. The existing FAR is 2.2. Proposed Building Size Total = 3,925 sq. ft. The Lot Area is 4,600 sq. ft. The proposed FAR is 1.17.
MLA: The minimum lot area per dwelling unit = 4,600 sq. ft. The proposed is 1 D.U.
Existing Parking: 2 car garage.
Existing Setbacks:
Front: 6.75 ft. Rear: 35.87 ft. Side: East: 24.56 ft. West: 2.71

Proposed Setbacks:

Front: 6.75 ft. Rear: 25.0 ft. Side: East: 2.71 ft.
West: 3.0 ft. Rear Open Space: 317 sq. ft.
