Astrit Mehmeti, the owner of the subject site (the "Applicant"), is proposing to change the 2 nd floor existing office space to accommodate 5 dwelling units with 4 accessory parking spots and 5 bicycle spaces at covered area in a transit-served location, specifically the subject property's frontage is 1,317.83 feet from the CTA Red Line "L" train stop at Loyola University as listed in Table 17-10-0102-B.l ofthe Zoning Ordinance.
To construct the proposed project, the Applicant seeks a change of zoning classification for the subject property from B3-1 toB3-3 (Type 1). This change of zoning classification is being sought through the Type 1 rezoning process of Section 17-13-0302-A of the Zoning Ordinance in order to qualify for reduction of standards for Minimum Lot Area per Dwelling Unit under Section 17-3-0402-B, and Parking under Section 17-10-0102-B.l of the Zoning Ordinance.
To qualify for reduction of these standards, the project must comply with Parking Reductions for Transit Served Locations undersection 17.13-0905-F of the Zoning Ordinance, the project:
Must be located in a transit-served location, which it is, as set forth above. See attached Type-1 plan to include the TSL map showing the measured distance in feet from the subject property line to the center line of the CTA Red Line "I" train stop at Loyola University.

n towards and integrated with adjacent transit. The development incorporatesaccessibility and connectivity and is a multiuse mix of dense development that generates significant levels of transit riders to the Loyola University Red Line 'V stop, in an already dense multiuse neighborhood.
Must actively promote public transit and alternatives to automobile ownership; the building includes a covered area with 5 bicycle spaces which will strongly support bicycle ownership as an alternative to automobile ownership.
Must include enhancements to the pedestrian environment that are not otherwise required; the existing property includes two (2) plants in 2' containers at front of property as indicated on the site plan included in the Type 1 plan set.
