REPORT FINAL to the
CHICAGO PLAN COMMISSION from
THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BUREAU OF PLANNING AND ZONING
 
DECEMBER 19, 2013
 
FOR APPROVAL:
 
RESIDENTIAL BUSINESS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
 
APPLICANT:
 
725 RANDOLPH, L.L.C
 
LOCATION:
 
723-29 WEST RANDOPLH STREET
 
 
Pursuant to the provisions of the Chicago Zoning Ordinance, Title 17 of the Municipal Code of Chicago, the Department of Housing and Economic Development hereby submit this report and recommendation on a proposed Residential - Business Planned Development for your review and recommendation to the Chicago City Council. The application for the amendment to the Chicago Zoning Ordinance was introduced into the City Council on February 13, 2013. Proper legal notice of the public hearing on the application was published in the Chicago Sun Times on December 4, 2013. The Applicant was separately notified of this hearing.
 
The applicant is proposing to amend the current zoning ofthe site from DX-7 Downtown Mixed-Use District to a Residential Business Planned Development. This application is submitted by the Applicant, as a mandatory planned development pursuant to Section 17-8-0511 Tall Buildings, which states that a planned development review and approval is required when the proposed project meets or exceeds 155 feet in the DX-7 Downtown District. Additionally section 17-8-0513 requires planned development review and approval when a proposed residential development meets or exceeds 200 dwelling units in the DX-7 Downtown District.
 
SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION
The project site is an irregular shaped lot containing 23,347square feet and is bounded by West Randolph Street on the north; a two story masonry building on the west; West Court Place on the south and the Kennedy Expressway (Interstate 90/94) on the east. The site is improved with three (3) masonry buildings of two and three stories in height. The site is within the boundaries ofthe Near West Tax Increment Finance District, but is not located within the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection District or a Chicago Landmark District. The project is also located in the Near West Side Community Area and within the West Loop Neighborhood.
 
 
 
 
 
 
1
 
 
The site is served by the Chicago Transit Authority's bus routes #1 (Indiana-Hyde Park), #7 (Harrison), #8 (Halsted), #20 (Madison), #56 (Milwaukee), #60 (Blue lsland/26th), #124 (Navy Pier), #125 (Water Tower Express), #126 (Jackson).
 
The CTA rail stations at Clinton and UlC/Halsted on the Blue Line and Morgan on the Green and Pink Lines; and, nine Metra lines, via either the Ogilvie Transportation Center or Union Station, all serve the area and are located within approximately one mile ofthe site.
 
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant proposes to construct a 31-story mixed-use building with 220 dwelling units, accessory and non-accessory mechanical parking garage with 260 spaces, and ground floor retail space of approximately 3,000 square feet. The project has an estimated total project cost of $50,000,000 and the expected construction time line is 24 to 30 months.
 
DESIGN
The 31-story building is primarily comprised of a cast- in-place concrete structure and metal window wall system. This architectural vocabulary defines primarily the west elevation from the fourth floor thru thirty-first floor. The east, west and south elevations have the same materials and similar design quality. The design of the building is further defined by glass balconies located on the residential floors along all four (4) elevations.
 
The mechanical parking garage is concealed with similar design materials and architectural vocabulary. The parking garage fronts east toward Interstate 90/94 and floors two (2) through ten (10) contain the 260 accessory and non-accessory parking spaces. The majority ofthe garage elevations are covered in a glass and metal window wall system and accentuated with a central opaque screen wall to conceal the garage with similar materials and architectural vocabulary as the residential tower.
 
ACCESS/CIRCULATION
The site has vehicular access via one curb cut along a 16 foot alley located immediately east of the site and West Court Place. Pedestrian access for the residential tower is located along West Randolph Street from a residential entry lobby. Integration of this proposal into the commercial and residential developments of this neighborhood takes on added importance in light ofthe project's frontage along both West Randolph Streets and it proximity to I-90/94 (Kennedy Expressway). The ground floor ofthe proposed building is designed for commercial storefronts fronting West Randolph Street. The design improves the pedestrian experience and is enlivened by a glass fagade
 
SUSTAINABILITY
The project will meet the City's Landscape Ordinance and include a vegetative ("green") roof covering 50% of the net roof area (5,260 square feet) of the proposed building. In addition the project will achieve either LEED certification with the U.S. Green Building Council certification program or Energy Star certification to comply with the City's Sustainable Development Policy.
 
 
 
 
 
2
 
 
BULK/USE/DENSITY
The site is currently zoned DX-7 Downtown Mixed-Use District and has a maximum allowable Floor Area Ratio (F.A.R) of 7.0. This proposed Residential Business Planned Development will achieve an F.A.R of 8.32, which the applicant achieved via two Density Bonuses allowed only in the DX-7 Downtown Mixed-Use District.
 
The project is taking an additional floor area bonus of 0.32 over the maximum allowed of 7.0 F.A.R through an Upper Level Set Back Bonus and an additional floor area bonus of 1.00 through the Affordable Housing Bonus via a cash payment of $541,650.40 to the City of Chicago Affordable Housing Opportunity Fund. The base F.A.R of 7.0 and the two F.A.R bonuses will allow the project to achieve a maximum F.A.R. of 8.32.
The F.A.R for the various portions of the project is as follows:
Description FAR
Base FAR: 7.00
Affordable Housing: 1.00
Upper Level Set Back:      0.32
Total FAR: 8.32
 
 
RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Housing and Economic Development has reviewed the project materials submitted by the Applicant and have concluded that the proposed development would be appropriate for the site for the following reasons:
 
The project complies with the Standards and Guidelines for Planned Developments in the Zoning Ordinance (Section 17-8-0900).
  1. Compliance with Zoning. The proposed Planned Development would increase the maximum Floor Area Ratio (F.A.R.) above the allowed 7.0 in the DX-7 Downtown Mixed-Use District by achieving an Upper Level Set Back Bonus but would remain consistent with the surrounding community. This project would have similar uses as the surrounding areas, which include residential, commercial, and accessory parking.
  2. Approved Plans. The site is identified in the Central Area Action Plan approved by Plan Commission on August 20, 2009, and is identified as an opportunity site. The plan identifies this site for mixed use building with complimentary commercial uses as the highest and best economic use for the Near West Side subdistrict. The Plan also identifies this area of the Central Area to allow for taller buildings along the Kennedy Expressway.

  1. Transportation, Traffic Circulation and Parking. The pedestrian access point for the residential building is located on West Randolph Street, the vehicular access occurs from a 16 foot alley and along West Court Place, and loading will occur internal to the site.
  2. Pedestrian Orientation. The proposed project will allow unimpeded pedestrian flow on West Randolph Street. The entire street frontage of the building is enlivened by a glass facade looking directly onto the street frontage.
  3. Urban and Building Design. The building's modern design emphasizes the contrast among the various types of architectural styles and vocabulary along West Randolph Street.
  1. The proposed development is compatible with the character of the surrounding area in terms of uses, density, and building scale.
 
a. The proposed Planned Development would be consistent in bulk, density, and Floor Area Ratio (F.A.R.) with the surrounding area. The proposed project will remain at its current underlying zoning of DX-7 Downtown District and achieve a maximum total Floor Area Ratio (F.A.R.) to 8.32. This project would have similar uses as the surrounding area, which includes residential, commercial, and accessory parking. The height ofthe proposed 31-story mixed-use building is within the context ofthe surrounding area.
  1. The public infrastructure facilities and city services will be adequate to serve the proposed development at the time of occupancy.
 
a. The proposed Planned Development has been reviewed by the Chicago Department of Transportation's Project Review Committee and all requested changes have been made. Copies of this application have been circulated to other City departments and agencies and all comments received which have been addressed in the revised application.
 
Based on the foregoing, it is the recommendation of the Department of Housing and Economic Development that the revised application for a Residential Business Planned Development be approved and the recommendation to the City Council Committee on Zoning, Landmarks and Building Standards be "As-Revised, Passage Recommended"
