1217-19 West Monroe Street Type 1 Narrative

The subject property was rezoned by the City Council on December 12, 2012 pursuant to a Type 1 Rezoning Ordinance. The current zoning designation is B2-3, Neighborhood Mixed-Use District.

This proposed amendment seeks to amend the Type 1 Ordinance by allowing residential use on the first and second floors.

The subject property is approximately 5,880 square feet in size. It is improved with a three-story building constructed circa 1889. The building is built to the lot lines and contains approximately 17,640 square feet of floor area. The proposed building will be renovated and will contain three residential units, one per floor. Floor plans are attached to this application. No addition will be constructed.

Dear Sir or Madam:

In compliance with the notice requirements for an Amendment to the Chicago Zoning Ordinance, please be informed that on or about April 2, 2014, an application for an Amendment to the Chicago Zoning Ordinance will be filed on behalf of 1217 W. Monroe, LLC, the Applicant, for the property commonly known as 1217-19 West Monroe Street.

The sole purpose of this technical amendment is to amend the B2-3 Type 1 zoning ordinance as approved by the City Council on December 12, 2012. The previous amendment required the first and second floors of the existing building to be used for personal training, retail and/or office uses, and the third floor was to be residential. This application seeks to amend the Type 1 zoning ordinance to allow the first and second floors to be used as residential units. There will be no additions to the existing three-story building. Upon completion of the interior work, the existing building will contain three residential units. The zoning designation will remain as B2-3 Type 1, as amended.

The contact information for the Applicant is as follows: 1712 W. Monroe, LLC, 833 North Orleans Street, Suite 400, Chicago, Illinois 60610.

Please note that your property is not being rezoned. The Applicant is required by law to send this notice to you because you own property within 250 feet of the subject site.

Questions about this notice may be directed to the Applicant's attorney, Edward J. Kus, at 312.836.4080, at Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP, 111 East Wacker Drive, Suite 2800, Chicago, Illinois 60601.

Very truly yours,
