FOR APPROVAL:
PROPOSED TECHNICAL AMENDMENT TO BUSINESS PLANNED DEVELOPMENT #859
 
APPLICANT:
 
DCR MANAGEMENT, LLC
 
LOCATION:
 
6900-7058 SOUTH ASHLAND 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 #859 for your review and recommendation to the Chicago City Council. The application was introduced to the Chicago City Council on December 10, 2014. Notice of this public hearing was published in the Chicago Sun-Times on March 4, 2015. The Applicant was separately notified of this public hearing.
 
The subject property is located on the southwest comer of South Ashland Avenue and West 69th Street and has an address of 6900-7058 S. Ashland. The applicant, DCR Management, LLC, proposes to amend Business Planned Development #859 to allow packaged liquor sales as a permitted use in the existing shopping center located on the site in Subarea B of the planned development. There is no expansion of the existing shopping center planned with the exception of interior tenant buildout as part of this Technical Amendment to Business Planned Development #859.
 
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 packaged liquor sales as a permitted use within Subarea B which would result in a change in the character of the development.
 
 
PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION
ThVApplicant, DCR Management, LLC, has filed this Technical Amendment to Planned Development #859 pursuant to Section 17-13-0611-A of the Chicago Zoning Ordinance. PD #156 was originally established on December 4, 2002 as a Business Planned Development that allowed for the construction of a grocery store with accessory liquor sales and parking within Subarea A and a general retail shopping center with parking that prohibited packaged liquor sales within Subarea B. The proposed Amendment would allow packaged liquor sales as a permitted use to the existing planned development within Subarea B (and continue to allow packaged liquor sales within Subarea A). 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 the southwest corner of South Ashland Avenue and West 69th Street and is zoned PD #859. PD #859 is divided into Subareas A and B. Subarea A consists of approximately 213,164 square feet and is improved with a grocery store, fueling station and accessory parking. Subarea B is approximately 112,699 square feet and consists of three single-story commercial/retail buildings, a fueling station and accessqry.parking. Land uses within the current planned development include financial services, retail, fueling stations and personal services.
 
PD #859 is located along the commercial arteries of South Ashland Avenue and West 69th Street. The zoning districts along these two streets include a mix of business/commercial zoning districts (B3-1, B3-2, B3-3, C1-1, C2-1) as well as some residential zoning districts (RS-3). Off ofthe commercial corridors, the area is generally zoned RS-2. Nearby land uses in the area include retail, personal service and commercial uses in a variety of single and multi-story mixed use buildings. Residential uses include single family homes and multi-unit residential buildings on the blocks to the west of the shopping center.
 
The subject property is not a City of Chicago landmark nor is the subject property located in a City of Chicago landmark district, tax-increment financing district or the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection District.
The CTA's Ashland bus (#9) runs northbound and southbound on South Ashland Avenue at the subject property. The CTA's bus (#67) runs nearby along West 69th Street.
 
DESIGN/LANDSCAPING/ACCESS/BULK
The retail buildings located within PD #859 were constructed in 2003 and later. The existing buildings are built of masonry materials. The site includes approximately 335 parking spaces, landscaping and ingress/egress from both South Ashland Avenue and West 69th Street. There is approximately 120,000 square feet of built space on the site and the planned development limits the total FAR of the site to .5.
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 #859 as approved by City Council in 2002 specified that packaged liquor sales be restricted as accessory to the grocery store located within Subarea A only. As stated, the proposed Amendment would allow packaged liquor sales as an allowed use with Subarea B as well, which includes the general retail buildings within the broader shopping center.
 
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 #859 would be appropriate for the site for the following reasons;*
 
 
FINAL
  1. 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,
  2. 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,
  3. 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 Ashland Avenue as well as West 69th Street; and,
  4. 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 #859 be approved and the recommendation to the City Council Committee on Zoning, Landmarks and Building Standards be "As-Revised, Passage Recommended"
