REPORT to the
CHICAGO PLAN COMMISSION from the
DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT FEBRAURY 19, 2015
 
FOR APPROVAL: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO RESIDENTIAL BUSINESS
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT #313
APPLICANT:      CHESTNUT ROW HOMES, LLC
LOCATION:      111-121 WEST CHESTNUT STREET
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 regarding a proposed Amendment to Residential Business Planned Development #313 for your review and recommendation to the Chicago City Council. The application for the amendment to the 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 bearing.
 
The Applicant, Chestnut Row Homes, LLC is seeking approval to amend the existing PD #313 to allow for the creation of three subareas within the planned development; Subareas A (111 West Chestnut Street), B (119 West Chestnut Street) and C (121 West Chestnut Street). The proposed Subareas B and C consist of existing residential/mixed use buildings and are planned to remain as such. The Applicant intends to further amend the planned development to allow for residential uses within Subarea A and intends to construct an eight (8) unit townhome project with accessory and non-accessory parking within Subarea A. This development is being submitted by the Applicant as a mandatory Planned Development, pursuant to Section 17-13-0611-A of the Chicago Zoning Ordinance, because the proposed Amendment would constitute a change in character in the existing planned development.
 
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The Applicant, Chestnut Row Homes, LLC, proposes to construct the project within Subarea A on property that it acquired in 2014. The Applicant has secured the consent to file the proposed Amendment to PD #313 from the owners of Subareas B and C.
 
 
SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION
As stated, the proposed Amendment to PD #313 would create three subareas within the planned development. No changes to the boundary or the overall size of PD #313 (42,745 square feet) are contemplated. Overall, the planned development is bounded by North Clark Street on the east, West Chestnut Street on the north, North LaSalle Street on the

FINAL
 
west and private property to the south. The proposed Subarea B (6,582 square feet), located at 119 W. Chestnut Street, is improved with a nine-unit residential building constructed in approximately 1905 and is proposed to remain. The proposed Subarea C, (21,009 square feet), is improved with a 230 unit building and parking garage constructed in approximately 2005 and is also proposed to remain. The proposed Subarea A, (15,154 square feet), located at 111 W. Chestnut Street currently consists of vacant land and as stated earlier is proposed to be redeveloped with an eight (8) unit townhome project with parking.
 
Surrounding PD #313 are various zoning districts, including DX-5 (Downtown Mixed-Use District) to the south, RM-5 (Residential Multi-Unit District) to the north, a small parcel zoned B1-3 (Neighborhood Shopping District) immediately to the north as well as several generally residential planned developments. Land uses in the area include multi-unit residential/mixed uses, various commercial uses including some parking. The site is not located within either the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection District or a Chicago Landmark District, nor does it contain a designated local or national landmark structure or site. It lies within the Near North Side Community Area.
 
The site is very well served by the Chicago Transit Authority's Brown Line station at Chicago Avenue, about % mile from the proposed Subarea A at 111 W. Chestnut, and the Chicago Transit Authority's Red Line station at Chicago Avenue. In addition, the site is directly served by the CTA's Clark bus (#22), LaSalle bus (#156) and the nearby Chicago Avenue bus (#66). Finally, bike lanes are located nearby on North Wells Street and North Dearborn Street.
 
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
As stated, the Applicant is not proposing any changes to the existing buildings located within Subareas B and C. When PD #313 was first amended in 2004, the parcel of land which is proposed as Subarea A under this amendment was to include a synagogue. As stated, the proposed Amendment to PD #313 would allow residential uses in Subarea A.
 
Within Subarea A, the Applicant is proposing to construct an eight unit townhome project. The project will consist of eight townhomes to be located at West Chestnut Street and North Clark Street with covered parking, totaling no more than 16 spaces, including a maximum of six non-accessory spaces, accessed via the public alley located between North Clark Street and North LaSalle Street. Additionally, the building will contain a common amenity deck above the covered parking and individual private open spaces. The project will include various amenities for residents and provisions for bike storage.
 
The project is expected to generate an estimated 50 construction jobs. The project is positioned to break ground in Spring/Summer 2015 and be completed by Summer/Fall 2016.

FINAL
 
DESIGN/LANDSCAPING
The project consists of a three story townhome structure along North Clark Street and West Chestnut Street. The building is proposed to be set back 10 feet from West Chestnut Street (exclusive of bay windows) and four feet from North Clark Street (exclusive of bay windows). In addition, the building will not exceed 41' in height which is consistent with the height of the existing residential building immediately to the west. Individual entrances to the units will be located on North Clark Street and West Chestnut Street. Materials will include stone or precast concrete and glass aluminum windows as can been seen on the material callouts on the exhibits.
 
In addition to installing required street trees, the parkway along West Chestnut Street within Subarea A will be improved with new grade-level landscaped beds, designed in a manner to match the existing beds on the north side of West Chestnut Street. Applicant also will improve its Clark Street frontage with similar landscaped beds. Finally, each unit will have small, landscaped yards adjacent the sidewalks. The project will incorporate a green roof above the individual units, as will be fully explained below in the Sustainability section.
 
 
ACCESS/CIRCULATION
Vehicular access to the building will be achieved via the public alley located between North Clark Street and North LaSalle Street. As described earlier, the project will incorporate space for up to 16 automobiles in an enclosed structure, accessed from this alley. The project will contain 8 bike parking spaces, at a minimum.
 
 
SUSTAINABILITY
The Applicant will achieve certification for the project in accordance with the City of Chicago's Sustainability Policy. Also in accordance with the policy, the Applicant will provide a green roof totaling approximately 2,500 square feet. The project will also comply with the Storm Water Management Ordinance, implementing best practices in all storm water management.
 
 
BULK/USE/DENSITY
The overall Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for the townhome project proposed for Subarea A will be 2.183 based on the net site area of Subarea A. The entire PD #313 will have an FAR of not to exceed 7.0, which was the FAR limit imposed for the project in the 2004 Amendment to the planned development. Each Subarea will have FAR and other controls as listed in the Bulk Table under this proposed Amendment. This Residential Business Planned Development proposes allowance of the following uses: residential, accessory and non-accessory parking, and ground floor retail uses within Subarea C only.
 
 
RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Planning and Development has reviewed the project materials
 
 
FINAL
 
submitted by the Applicant and compared this proposal to existing development in the community. The area around this project consists of a mix of generally residential zoning districts and the project represents an opportunity to construct an appropriate residential development along North Clark Street and West Chestnut Street in Chicago's Near North Side Community Area.
 
Based on that analysis, the Department of Planning and Development has concluded that this proposal is appropriate for this site and supports this development for the following reasons:
 
 
1. The project meets the purpose and criteria set forth in Chapter 17-8 of the Zoning Ordinance and its adoption would not have any adverse impact on the public's health, safety or welfare. Specifically, this project meets the following provisions of Chapter 17-8:
  1. Promotes economically beneficial development patterns that are compatible with the character of existing neighborhoods (per 17-8-0103), as evidenced through the project's design and massing remaining within the context of adjacent structures;
  2. Provides that parking is located behind the buildings or to the side of buildings (per 17-8-0904-C-2), as evidenced by the enclosed parking areas on the site to be located to the rear of the lot, accessed from a public alley;
  3. Promotes green design by conserving non-renewable energy and scarce materials (per 17-8-0908-A) as evidenced by the proposed green roof and deployment of solar panels on the project; and,
  4. All sides and areas of the buildings that are visible to the public are treated with materials, finishes and architectural details that are of high-quality and appropriate for use on primary street-facing facade (17-8-0907-A-4), as evidenced through the material callouts in this report and on the elevations.
  1. The project is consistent with the Central Area Action Plan, which was adopted by the Chicago Plan Commission in 2009. Specifically, the project will help to maintain a high quality of life for area residents within the Near North Sub-District.
  2. The public infrastructure facilities and city services will be adequate to serve the proposed development at the time of occupancy. The proposed project has been reviewed by the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities and the Department of Transportation and all requested changes have been made. 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.
  3. The project will comply with the requirements for access in case of fire and other emergencies.

FINAL
 
Based on the foregoing, it is the recommendation of the Department of Planning and Development that this application for a Residential Business Planned Development be approved and that the recommendation to the City Council Committee on Zoning, Landmarks and Building Standards be "Passage Recommended".
