REPORT to the
CHICAGO PLAN COMMISSION from the
DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 18, 2014
FOR APPROVAL: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO WATERWAY
RESIDENTIAL BUSINESS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT No.1121
APPLICANT: HARBOR POINT VENTURE, LLC
LOCATION: 4000 EAST 134th STREET;
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
Pursuant to the provisions ofthe Chicago Zoning Ordinance, Title 17 ofthe Municipal Code of Chicago, the Department of Planning and Development hereby submits this report and recommendation on a proposed Waterway-Residential-Business Planned Development 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 2, 2014. Notice of the public hearing was published in the Chicago Sun-Times on December 3, 2014. The applicant was separately notified of this public hearing.
The application proposes to remove property from the Planned Development that has been acquired by the Forest Preserve District of Cook County and rezone that property to POS-1 Regional or Community Park. The applicant, Harbor Point Venture, LLC, also proposes to rezone the remainder of the site to C2-2 Motor Vehicle-Related Commercial District prior to re-establishing amended the Planned Development to expand an existing mobile home park to as many as 723 manufactured homes/recreation vehicles with related and accessory uses and facilities, along with provision for the sales of manufactured homes. This application is a mandatory Planned Development amendment because the site lies within 100 feet of a waterway, Wolf Lake.
BACKGROUND
Waterway Residential Business Planned Development No. 1121 was.approved by the Chicago City Council on September 10, 2008. The approximately 127.12-acre site lies in the far southeast corner of the city at the south end of Wolf Lake.
Page 1 of 4
The planned development permitted redevelopment of the site for up to 953 residential units, up to 30,000 square feet of business/ commercial space, and approximately 44.5 acres of neighborhood open space/wet land preserve on the site.
SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION
The approximately 127.12-acre site straddles East 134th Street in the Hegwisch Community Area. The site is at the south end of Wolf Lake and is generally bounded by the alley just east of South Avenue K on the west, Wolf Lake (William W. Powers State Conservation Area) on the north, the Indiana State Line (Hammond) and the tracks ofthe Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad on the east, and the tracks ofthe South Chicago and Southern Railroad on the south. A small, approximately 0.44-acre parcel fronting the south side of E. 134th Street is owned by a utility company and is not included in the site.
Approximately two-thirds ofthe site was formerly operated as a mobile home park. Maybe half of that is currently used for that purpose. There is also major acreage of undeveloped land at the north, southwest, and southeast ends of the site. Approximately 30.02 acres of that undeveloped land at the southwest end ofthe site has been acquired by the Forest Preserve District of Cook County. Much of the overall site lies within the "100-year flood plain", and the portions ofthe site that are not in the flood plain have a very high water table. Development in the flood plain is regulated by the Department of Buildings in the permitting process. Some of the site contains piles of construction debris that will have to be removed.
The surrounding area is partially residential, partially industrial and partially public open space. On the western edge of the site, lying on either side of S. Avenue K and extending westward to at least S. Avenue O, is a residential neighborhood of single-family detached homes. The area east of the site in Hammond, Indiana, is largely industrial. To the north is the William Powers Recreation Area of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, including Wolf Lake. And to the south, on the south side of the South Chicago and Southern Railroad, is the Cook County Forest Preserve District's Burnham Woods, including Powderhorn Lake.
The site lies within the 134th/Avenue KTax Increment Financing (TIF) District. The site is neither within the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection District, nor within a designated Industrial Corridor. The site is not within a Chicago Landmark District, and there are no buildings on the site that are Chicago Landmarks and no buildings that have been rated as potentially significant in the broader context ofthe city, state, or country ( "red") or as potentially significant in the context of the surrounding community ("orange") by the Chicago Historic Resources Survey.
The CTA's #30 (South Chicago) bus line runs along S. Avenue O, approximately a quarter mile beyond of the western edge of the site. The nearest transit station is the Hegwisch Station ofthe South Shore Railroad at about 13700 on South Brainard Avenue, almost a mile from the site.
Page 2 of 4
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant proposes to remove the approximately 30.02 acres of property now controlled by the Forest Preserve District from the Planned Development. The Forest Preserve property would be rezoned to POS-1 Regional or Community Park. The remaining approximately 97.10 acres would be devoted to open space (12.71-acre Subarea C at the north end ofthe site), a revitalized community for manufactured homes and recreational vehicles (78.43-acre Subarea A), and an existing office /club house (2.55-acre Subarea B). The approximately 190 active pads for manufactured homes and recreational vehicles would be increased to a maximum of 723 by bringing inactive pads back into use. Recreational vehicles could constitute no more than 114 ofthe total pads.
In most cases, the individual manufactured homes or recreational vehicles would be owned by the occupants and the pads would be leased from the community operator. Each pad would have hookups for water, sewer, electricity, gas, and telephone. The pads would have at least one parking space apiece and would be connected by an existing and extended network of private streets, all of which would be accessed from E. 134th Street. The existing, approximately 2,480-square-foot, brick office/club house building may be redeveloped and, perhaps, expanded to serve the enlarged community.
Additionally, the operator is, and would continue to be, a licensed dealer for the sale of manufactured homes.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Planning and Development has reviewed the project materials submitted by the applicant and have concluded that the proposed amended Waterway-Residential-Business Planned Development would be appropriate for the site for the following reasons:
The proposed amended Planned Development continues uses, mobile/ manufactured home community and sales, which have been in existence for several decades. Under the existing Planned Development, they have continued as legal non-conforming. This amended Planned Development would establish them permanently.
The proposed development is compatible with the character of the surrounding area in terms of uses, density and building scale.
The proposed development represents a continuation of a decades-long mobile/manufactured home community in the Hegwisch Community Area. Manufactured housing is typically more affordable than traditional detached single-family housing. In addition to the approximately 30.02 acres of public Forest Preserve land, approximately 12.71 acres ofthe reduced Planned Development would be devoted to private open space. Some of the public open space would separate this development from the single-family detached house neighborhood to the west.
Page 3 of 4
The public infrastructure facilities and city services will be adequate to serve the proposed development at the time of occupancy.
The proposed amended Planned Development has been reviewed by the Chicago Department of Transportation and all requested changes have been made. Copies of this application have been circulated to other City departments and agencies and no comments have been received which have not been addressed in the revised application. All onsite streets and utility infrastructure will be privately constructed, owned, and maintained.
The project would comply with the requirements for access in case of fire and other emergencies.
Based on the foregoing, it is the recommendation of the Department of Planning and Development that the revised application for an amended Waterway Residential Business Planned Development be approved and that the recommendation to the City Council Committee on Zoning, Landmarks and Building Standards be: "As Revised, Passage Recommended."
