PROPOSED TECHNICAL AMENDMENT TO RESIDENTIAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT NO. 723
ALDERMAN WILLIE B. COCHRAN (20th WARD)
EAST 63rd ST.; EAST 64th ST., SOUTH ELLIS AVE., SOUTH GREENWOOD AVE., SOUTH UNIVERSITY AVE., SOUTH WOODLAWN AVE., SOUTH KIMBARK AVE., SOUTH KENWOOD AVE., SOUTH INGLESIDE AVE. (Addresses are approximate)
Pursuant to the provisions of the Chicago Zoning Ordinance, Title 17 of the Municipal Code of Chicago, the Department Planning and Development hereby submits this report and recommendation on a proposed technical amendment to Residential Planned Development No. 723 for your review and recommendation to the Chicago City Council. The application for this amendment to the Chicago Zoning Ordinance was introduced into the City Council on April 15, 2015 by 20th Ward Alderman Willie Cochran. Notice of the public hearing was published in the Chicago Sun-Times on June 3, 2015. The applicant was separately notified of this public hearing.
The Applicant proposes to remove approximately 167,844 square feet from the planned development. The site is currently zoned Planned Development Number 723 District, RT4 Residential Two-Flat, Townhouse and Multi-Unit District, and RM5 Residential Multi-Unit District symbols. The applicant proposes to re-establish Planned Development No. 723 as amended.
The site is currently unimproved and vacant and is located in the Woodlawn Community Area. The proposed amendment will remove an area roughly bounded by West 63rd Street; South University Avenue; West 64th Street; and South Greenwood Avenue from Phase II and redraw the Planned Development boundaries and revise the Bulk Regulations and Data Table to reflect the decrease in Net Site Area, allowable units and off-street parking spaces. The area removed from Planned Development 723 will become part of a new institutional planned development for a charter school.
FINAL
BACKGROUND
Residential Planned Development No. 723 was first approved by the Chicago City Council July 7, 1999 and amended on Thursday, July 28, 2011. The approximately 27-acre site lies on the south side of East 63rd Street, just east of the intersection of South University Avenue and East 63rd Street. The Planned Development consists of three phases, all of which are designated to contain a mix of single and two-family structures and accessory parking. Currently, less than 30 of the approved 140 structures, along with their respective parking spaces, have been built, all being located in Phase I. The land being removed from this Planned Development is unimproved and is still owned by the City of Chicago.
SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION
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.
Phase I (approximately 2.5 acres) lies on the eastern end of the Planned Development, generally located on both the north and south sides of East 63rd Street, between South Kenwood and South Woodlawn Avenues. Phase II lies in the middle of the Planned Development, generally located on both the north and south sides of East 63rd Street, between South Woodlawn and South Greenwood Avenues. Phase III (approximately 6 acres) lies on the western end of the Planned Development, generally located on both the north and south sides of East 63rd Street, between South Greenwood and South Ingleside Avenues. . '<¦¦.¦
Phase I is the only phase with any units constructed, located in less than 30 structures; no new units are contemplated for construction currently in any of the three phases. The area surrounding this Planned Development is generally all zoned RM5, Residential Multi-Unit District, or RT-4, Residential Two-Flat, Townhouse and Multi-Unit District. Property zoned B3-3, Community Shopping District, and Planned Development No. 1182 is located adjacent to both the southern boundary of Phase II and the western boundary of Phase III. There is also a property zoned B3-1 adjacent to the southwestern boundary of Phase III. Institutional Planned Development No. 456 is located adjacent to the eastern boundary of Phase I; it has an underlying zoning of RM5.
The land-uses surrounding this Planned Development are generally single and multi-family with some commercial presence along East 63rd Street and institutional uses in the general neighborhood, namely two Chicago Public School facilities and the southern campus ofthe University of Chicago.
FINAL
This Planned Development 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 DESCRIPTTDN
The Applicant proposes to amend Residential Planned Development No. 723 to remove an area roughly bound by West 63rd Street; South University Avenue; West 64th Street; and South Greenwood Avenue. This land would be rezoned to B3-2, Neighborhood Mixed-Use District prior to being included in a new planned development for a school. The land is unimproved and owned by the City of Chicago.
As a result of removing this parcel of Phase II, the Planned Development's overall Gross Site Area would decrease from 1,112,367.50 square feet (25.5 acres) to 944,522.94 square feet (21.72 acres). The Planned Development's overall Net Site Area would drop from 608,957.67 square feet (13.97 acres) to 550,327.83 square feet (10.46 acres); the Net Site Area of Phase II would fall from 228,144.84 square feet (5.24 acres) to 169,550.00 square feet (3.89 acres). The maximum permitted Floor Area Ratio for Phase II would remain at 0.7.
The maximum number of dwelling units in the overall Planned Development would be reduced from 226 to 208; in Phase II the maximum allowable would be reduced from 70 to 52. Single-Family Dwelling structures throughout the entire Planned Development would drop from 129 to 111 and within Phase II they would be reduced from 53 to 35. Two-Family Dwelling structures would be reduced from 97 to 94 throughout the entire Planned Development and from 21 to 18 within Phase II.
The maximum allowable off-street parking spaces for the Planned Development would decrease from 258 to 222; those allotted for Phase II would be reduced from 106 to 70. No other changes are contemplated by this amendment; all Planned Development exhibits labeled and dated June 18, 2015, and not included or referenced in this presentation, will remain valid.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Planning and Development has reviewed the project materials submitted by the Applicant and has concluded that the proposed amendment to Residential Business Planned Development No. 723 would be appropriate for the site for the following reasons:
1. The project meets the criteria and objectives set forth in Section 17-13-0600 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 17-13:
FINAL
A. The removal of land from this Residential Planned Development will result in a corresponding reduction to net site area, unit count, parking and Floor Area Ratio for the portion that remains; and,
B. The proposed amended Residential Planned Development No. 723 would remain compatible with the character ofthe surrounding area (per 17-13-0611).
Based on the foregoing, it is the recommendation of the Department of Planning and Development that the revised application for an amendment to Residential Planned Development No. 723 be approved and that the recommendation to the City Council Committee on Zoning be "As Revised, Passage Recommended."
