REPORT to the
CHICAGO PLAN COMMISSION from the
DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT June 18, 2015
FOR APPROVAL: PROPOSED TECHNICAL AMENDMENT TO BUSINESS
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT #411
APPLICANT: 49th & KEDZIE, LLC
LOCATION: 4910 - 4960 SOUTH KEDZIE AVENUE

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 on a proposed Technical Amendment to Business Planned Development #411 for your review and recommendation to the Chicago City Council. The application was introduced to the Chicago City Council on May 6, 2015. Notice of this public hearing was published in the Chicago Sun-Times on June 3, 2015. The Applicant was separately notified of this public hearing.

The subject property is located at approximately 4910-60 S. Kedzie Avenue. The applicant, 49th & Kedzie, LLC, proposes to amend Business Planned Development #411 to allow payday / vehicle title loan sales as a permitted use in the existing shopping center located on the site. There is no expansion of the existing shopping center planned with the exception of any interior tenant buildout as part of this Technical Amendment to Business Planned Development #411.

This request is being submitted as a Technical Amendment to Planned Development #859, pursuant to Section 17-13-0611-A, due to the proposed addition of payday / vehicle title loan sales as a permitted use within the planned development which would result in a change in the character of the development.


PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION
The Applicant, 49th & Kedzie, LLC, has filed this Technical Amendment to Planned Development #411 pursuant to Section 17-13-0611-A ofthe Chicago Zoning Ordinance. PD #411 was originally established in 2004 as a Business Planned Development that allowed for a variety of business uses but did not specifically identify payday / vehicle title loan sales as a permitted use within the shopping center. The proposed Amendment would allow payday / vehicle title loan sales as a permitted use to the existing planned development. No expansion of the existing shopping center or construction is planned as part of this project with the exception of any possible interior tenant improvements to existing storefront space.

FINAL

SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located at approximately 4938 S. Kedzie Avenue directly across from West 49th Place, which at this location is a private street. The site is zoned PD #411. PD #411 consists of approximately 284,000 square feet of net site area. It is improved with a single-story retail building consisting of a commercial shopping center containing general retail sales, a grocery, a fitness center as well as accessory parking.

PD #411 as well asPJD .#272, directly adjacent and to the south, are commercial shopping centers ttisft'afe located along the west side of South Kedzie Avenue at this location in an area that is otherwise generally industrial in nature. PD #272 is similar to PD #411 as it is improved with a single-story commercial shopping center with general retail sales. The two shopping centers are physically connected via their parking areas.

The properties across the street from PD #411 to the east are zoned M2-2 (Light Industry District). The properties consist of large-scale warehouse type buildings that house various industrial businesses. To the west, the properties are zoned M1-2 (Limited Manufacturing/Business Park District) which consists of other industrial buildings as well as vacant land. These M-zoned properties are part of the much larger Brighton Park Industrial Corridor.

To the southwest of the subject are a few blocks containing a mix of residential and manufacturing zoning districts and improved with small scale industrial and residential uses. To the north of the subject is an active freight rail line that also includes the CTA's Orange Line tracks and Kedzie Station.

The subject property is not a City of Chicago landmark nor is the subject property located in a City of Chicago landmark district or the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection District. The property is located within the 51st/Archer Tax Increment Financing District and officially lies within the Gage Park Community Area.

The CTA's Kedzie bus (#52A) as well as the Kedzie/California bus (#52) runs northbound and southbound on South Kedzie Avenue at the subject property. The CTA's Kedzie Station on the Orange Line is less than 200 feet from PD #411.


DESIGN/LANDSCAPING/ACCESS/BULK
The retail building located within PD #411 was constructed in approximately 2004. The existing building is built generally of masonry materials. The site includes approximately 279 parking spaces, landscaping and ingress/egress from South Kedzie Avenue. There is approximately 86,000 square feet of built space on the site and the planned development limits the total FAR of the site to .4.

No expansion of the existing shopping center nor changes to the site's landscaping, access or bulk are planned as part of this Technical Amendment.


USE
Planned Development #411 as approved by City Council in 2004 specified that business uses were permitted but did not specifically identify payday / vehicle title loan sales as a permitted use. The proposed Amendment would add payday / vehicle title loan sales as a permitted use within the planned development.

FINAL


RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Planning and Development has reviewed the project materials submitted by the Applicant and has concluded that the proposed Technical Amendment to Planned Development #411 would be appropriate for the site for the following reasons:
The proposal is compatible with the character of the surrounding area in terms of uses, density and building scale (17-13-308-C). No changes to the existing shopping center are proposed and the retail center itself fits in with the surrounding neighborhood; and,
The proposal is compatible with surrounding zoning (17-13-308-D). The existing shopping center as well as the surrounding arterial streets include a mix of business and commercial zoning districts as well as land uses; and,
Public infrastructure facilities and city services will be adequate to serve the proposal at the time of occupancy (17-13-0308-E). CTA bus service is immediately adjacent to the shopping center site on South Kedzie Avenue; and,
The proposal provides substantial landscaping on the site (17-8-0909-A). The existing shopping center includes landscaping on all of the setback areas of the site and within the vehicular use area.


Based on the foregoing, it is the recommendation of the Department of Planning and Development that the revised application for a Technical Amendment to Business Planned Development #411 be approved and the recommendation to the City Council Committee on Zoning, Landmarks and Building Standards be "As-Revised, Passage Recommended."
