AMENDMENT TO PLANNED

APPLICANT:
 
ALDERMAN WALTER BURNETT JR. on BEHALF OF THE CHICAGO BOARD OF EDUCATION
 
LOCATION:
 
1119 NORTH CLEVELAND 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 Amendment to Planned Development #695 for your review and recommendation to the Chicago City Council. The application was introduced to the Chicago City Council on September 17, 2013. Notice of this public hearing was published in the Chicago Sun-Times on January 01, 2014. The Applicant was separately notified of this public hearing.
 
The property is identified as 1119 N. Cleveland Avenue and is generally located on the Southeast corner of Cleveland Avenue and Elm Street. The Chicago Board of Education proposes to amend the boundary of Planned Development #695, the resulting amended Planned Development is currently developed with a school building and accessory parking lot, no additional construction is proposed as a part of this application.
 
This request is being submitted as an amendment to a planned development, pursuant to Section 17-08-0515-A, due to the proposed change in the boundary.
PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION
The Applicant Alderman Walter Burnett Jr., on behalf of the Chicago Board of Education, has filed this amendment to planned development #695 pursuant to section 17-08-0515-A, the proposed project is a change in the boundary of Planned Development #695. The Planned Development is currently improved with an Elementary School serving grades Pre-K through 8th Grade known as Jenner Elementary Academy of the Arts. A portion of the existing planned development is to be removed from the boundary. The Board of Education has sold the subject parcel that is to be removed to a private developer who will work to develop the parcels as of right under the restrictions of the resulting zoning designation, the current proposal calls for residential development.
 
 
FINAL
 
 
 
 
SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located at the intersection of West Elm Street and North Cleveland Avenue and is located adjacent to primarily residential land uses. On the Eastern edge of the site is a parcel of land zoned POS #1 and is improved with Seward Park compromised of a field house, a playground, open space, baseball diamonds and basketball courts. South of the proposed amended planned development will be a resulting parcel of land that has been introduced to the Committee on Zoning, Landmarks and Building Standards to be subdivided into various zoning lots all of which will be rezoned to an RT-4 zoning designation and would be developed with residential buildings conforming with the proposed zoning designation. North and West of the site are parcels zoned PD #1006, Residential Multi-Unit District. The site is also not in the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection District. The site is located within the Near North Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District.
 
The site will consist of approximately 103,022 square feet (2.36 acres) and is currently improved with a school building and accessory parking lot. The proposed project to amend the planned development boundary would not include any additional construction and would result in the continued operation of the school and the accessory parking lot without interruption. The off-street parking spaces on the site are accessed from (1) one existing driveway along West Elm Street. The loading berth and garbage pick-up area are also accessed from the same existing driveway located along West Elm Street.
 
The CTA's bus route #37 (Sedgwick), route # 66 (Chicago) and route #70 (Division) all run on streets within a half-mile of the site. The North/Clybourn, Clark/Division, and Chicago stations on the CTA's Red Line and the Sedgwick and Chicago station along the CTA's Brown Line are within a one mile radius from the site. There are no METRA stations within a one mile radius from the site.
 
DESIGN
The existing school building project is located at the intersection of Elm Street and Cleveland Avenue. The building exterior is clad in modular brick, and glass windows. Massing is concentrated along the Cleveland Avenue street frontage; the playground and parking lot uses are located to the east adjacent to the existing open park space.
 
LANDSCAPING
The project provides parkway trees in tree grates along both the Cleveland Avenue parkway as well as the Elm Street parkway. The accessory parking lot is in compliance with the Chicago Landscape Ordinance and additional open space in the form of a playground is provided east of the school building.
 
 
FINAL
 
 
 
 
ACCESS / CIRCULATION
All required 54 parking stalls are provided in an accessory parking lot east ofthe building which is accessed via a driveway from Elm Street. The subject site also has one loading berth to serve the facility; this loading area will be accessed from the existing driveway located along Elm Street.
The two public streets, Elm Street and Cleveland Avenue, are both currently operating as two way traffic flow and will continue to operate as such.
 
SUSTAINABILITY
The subject site will remain as constructed, no additional work is proposed to the site and therefore no additional sustainable measures are to be implemented as part of this proposal.
 
BULK / USE / DENSITY
The current maximum allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for the existing planned development was based on the underlying zoning district (RT-4) and is 1.2; the amended planned development will retain this FAR and be limited to the maximum 1.2 FAR. The proposed planned development will maintain the previously approved setbacks shown on the exhibits contained within the planned development ordinance. All remaining bulk, use and density items will be in substantial compliance with the stipulations of Section 17-2-0300 for RT-4 zoning districts, per section 17-8-0901.
 
RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Planning and Development has reviewed the project materials submitted by the Applicant and compared this proposal to the requirements of the Chicago Zoning Ordinance and existing development in the community. The area around this project is a mix of residential, planned development and park district uses and is accessible from numerous forms of public transit. Based on that analysis, DPD has concluded that this proposal is appropriate for this site and supports this amendment to the planned development for the following reasons:
  1. Promotes unified planning and development (per 17-8-0102), as evidenced through the existing coordination of school and community use of the various facilities and regulation of school-related vehicular activity around the site;
  2. Locates parking behind the building and away from sidewalks and other significant pedestrian routes (per 17-8-0904-C-2), as evidenced by the provision of parking at the far northern end of the site, away from main student and guest entrances to the school;
  3. Per 17-13-0308-E, the public infrastructure facilities and City services are adequate to serve the existing development and the project complies with the requirements for access in case of fire and other emergencies.
 
 
FINAL
 
The proposed project was previously reviewed by the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities and the Department of Transportation and all requested changes were made and the building has since been constructed on the site. 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 application.
 
Based on the foregoing, it is the recommendation of the Department of Planning and Development that this application for the establishment of a Planned Development be approved and that the recommendation to the City Council Committee on Zoning Landmarks and Building Standards be "Passage Recommended".
