REPORT FINAL TO THE CHICAGO PLAN COMMISSION FROM
THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BUREAU OF ZONING AND LANDUSE
FEBRUARY 19, 2015
FOR APPROVAL: INSTITUTIONAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
APPLICANT: THE PUBLIC BUILDING COMMISSION
LOCATION: 4815 SOUTH KARLOV 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 submit this report and recommendation on a proposed Institutional Planned Development application 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 January 21, 2015. Proper legal notice of the public hearing on the application was published in the Chicago Sun Times on February 4, 2015. The Applicant was separately notified of this hearing.
This application is submitted by the Applicant, as a mandatory planned development pursuant to Section 17-8-0506, which states that planned development review and approval is required for development of land to be used for school buildings on site with a net site area of 2 acres or more.
SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION
The project site is a rectangular shaped lot containing approximately 161,087 square feet (3.698 acres) of net site area and is bounded by West 48th Street on the north, South Komensky Avenue on the east, West 49th Street on the south, and South Karlov Avenue on the west.
The site is currently zoned RS-3, Residential Single-Unit (Detached House) District. The areas that surround the site consist of property primarily zoned RS-3, Residential Single-Unit (Detached House) Districts. The area is comprised of primarily one and two story residential buildings. The site is located in the Archer Heights Community Area (No. 57), but not in a Tax Increment Finance District; nor the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection District or in a Chicago Landmark District.
The site is immediately accessible via public transit from CTA's No. 53 Pulaski, and the No. 62 Archer bus lines. The CTA's Orange Line Pulaski Road Station is located approximately one mile from the site and serves the immediate area.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The site is currently improved by a 2-story masonry public elementary school, a 1-story accessory building, two modular classroom buildings and an accessory parking lot. The applicant proposes to reclassify the property to an Institutional Planned Development to construct a 54,510 square foot three (3) story annex public elementary school.
The school currently serves 1,500 students from grades kindergarten through 8th grade and will accommodate 148 on-site staff. The annex building will house a total of 14 classrooms, a kitchen and lunchroom, three special needs classrooms, two science classrooms, two computer labs, one Music classic room, and an art room. The second portion of the project will remove the modular class room buildings and allow for the construction on the site for a playfield and a play lot.
DESIGN
The three story building (50 feet in height) is designed in such a way as to fit appropriately to the scale of the immediate area. The materials for the proposed building provided are two types of masonry brick which will create a varied pattern on the facade that echoes the masonry patterns present currently on the surrounding residences. Large, aluminum framed windows will provide daylighting and views to classrooms. The east facade, along Komensky Avenue, consists of a large, aluminum and glass window system that provides a visual connection between the residences on Komensky Avenue and the dining/multipurpose room.
SUSTAINABILITY / LANDSCAPING
The applicant has agreed to achieve basic LEED Certification as defined by the U.S.G.B.C and to provide at-grade open green space resulting in a net reduction in impervious area of 32% (30,400 SF of newly pervious vegetated surface) which exceeds the 15% improvement required by the Stormwater Ordinance. This will allow the project to meet the guidelines of the Sustainable Policy of the Department of Planning and Development. The project will be in substantial compliance with the requirements of the City's Landscape Ordinance.
ACCESS/CIRCULATION
All vehicular access is located on South Komensky Avenue to the north of the proposed school building. This includes a parking lot for staff with 48 accessory parking spaces and a trash/loading berth for refuse collection and school deliveries.
The school bus loading and drop-off as well as parent drop-off is designated on South Karlov Avenue to the west of the building. A smaller parking lot along Komesky Avenue will be removed as part of the overall project. The remaining parking lot along the east border of the site on South Komensky Avenue will remain unchanged.
2
BULK/USE/DENSITY
The Plan Development permits a maximum F.A.R of 0.9 and is also permitted under the RS-3, Residential Single-Unit (Detached House) District. The building will remain consistent in bulk with the surrounding area and the use will continue to serve as an educational and recreational uses already established on the site.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Planning and 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 17-8-0901 Uses, Bulk, Density and Intensity.
The proposed Planned Development is in strict compliance with the permitted Floor Area Ratio. The maximum FAR of 0.9 will not be exceeded nor will it negatively impact the surrounding area. In terms of height, scale, use and bulk the planned development is in substantial conformance with the surrounding community area. The proposed educational (School) use will complement the existing use of the site and not negatively impact the surrounding community area.
- The public infrastructure facilities and city services will be adequate to serve the proposed development at the time of occupancy. The proposed Planned Development has been reviewed by the Chicago Department of Transportation and all requested changes have been made.
- With respect to section 17-8-0905-B Building Features - Urban and Building Design.
The building's height at 3-stories, the materials proposed and the modern design emphasizes and complements the quality of the surrounding area. The building design abuts the sidewalk along South Komensky Avenue with doors, windows and active uses adjacent the street frontage.
- Copies of the application have been circulated to other City departments and agencies and all comments received have been addressed; the project will comply with the requirements for access in case of fire and other emergencies.
- The applicant agrees to achieve basic LEED Certification and to provide at-grade open green space resulting in a net reduction in impervious area of 32% (30,400 SF of newly pervious vegetated surface) which exceeds the 15% improvement required by the Stormwater Ordinance.

6. The proposed development is compatible with the character of the surrounding area in terms of uses, density, and building scale. The proposed Institutional Planned Development would be consistent in terms of height, scale, use and bulk would remain consistent with the surrounding community.
Based on the foregoing, it is the recommendation of the Department of Planning and Development that the revised application for an Institutional Planned Development for The Public Building Commission be approved and the recommendation to the City Council Committee on Zoning, Landmarks and Building Standards be "As-Revised, Passage Recommended"
