RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE A PERMIT APPLICATION FOR DEMOLITION OF NON-CONTRIBUTING ADDITIONS TO A BUILDING IN A CHICAGO LANDMARK
DISTRICT
Pursuant to Section 2-120-825 of the Municipal Code of Chicago governing review of permits for the demolition of 40% or more of any building or structure either designated as a "Chicago Landmark" or located in any district designated as a "Chicago Landmark," the Commission on Chicago Landmarks (the "Commission") has reviewed a permit application for the proposed demolition of the following:
rear addition, one-story connector, and two-story rear structure with garage ("Additions") located at 1824 North Orleans Street within the Old Town Triangle District, a Chicago Landmark (the "Landmark District"); and
Whereas the significant historical or architectural features identified in the ordinance designating the Landmark District are the exteriors of any structure located within the Landmark District; now, therefore,
THE COMMISSION ON CHICAGO LANDMARKS HEREBY:
- Finds, in accordance with the criteria for review of permit applications established in Article III of the Commission's Rules and Regulations, that the Additions are non-contributing to the character of the Old Town Triangle District, and their demolition will not have a negative effect on the character of the Landmark District;
- Therefore finds, in accordance with Section 2-120-770 of the Municipal Code of Chicago, that the demolition of the Additions will not adversely affect any significant historical or architectural features of the Landmark District, and that the demolition is in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings;
- Approves the permit application for the demolition of the Additions; and
- Recommends, in accordance with Section 2-120-825, that the City Council of the City of Chicago accept the Commission's approval of the permit application for the demolition of the Additions.
