The applicant, NRG Milwaukee Leavitt, LLC, proposes to construct a six-story 95 dwelling unit building with retail and restaurant use at the ground floor; additionally the proposal would provide interior parking that would accommodate 56 vehicles on the basement level of the building and 60 vehicles on a surface parking lot behind the building.
This request is being submitted as a mandatory planned development, pursuant to Section 17-08-0513-A, due to the fact that the proposed project exceeds the unit-count threshold of 60 units in a dash 3 underlying zoning designation.
SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located at the northeast corner of North Leavitt Avenue and North Milwaukee Avenue and is located adjacent to business, commercial, light manufacturing and residential uses. East of the site lie parcels of land zoned RT-4 Residential Two-Flat, Townhouse and Multi-Unit District, B3-2 Community Shopping District, B2-3 Neighborhood Mixed-Use District and M1-2 Limited Manufacturing / Business Park District. North of the site is the Bloomingdale Trail also known as the "606", the trail is a dedicated public walking, jogging, and bicycling trail; beyond that embankment to the north are parcels of land zoned as Residential Planned Development #744.

FINAL
Neighborhood Shopping, B3-3 Community Shopping District, and POS-2 Park and Open Space - Neighborhood Park, Mini-Park or Play Lot District. South of the site is land zoned C1-2, Neighborhood Commercial District and M1-2 Limited Manufacturing / Business Park District. The site is not in the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection District. The site is not located within a designated Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District.

PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION
The site consists of approximately 59,026 square feet (1.36 acres) and is currently improved with an existing one-story Aldi grocery store. The applicant proposes to demolish and remove the grocery store and will propose to construct a six-story mixed use building on the site. The proposed building will have retail and commercial use on the first floor, 56 parking spaces dedicated to the residential units on the basement level, and 95 units on floors 2 through 6. A surface parking lot will be located behind the first floor and will provide 60 parking spaces for the retail customers.
DESIGN
The proposed project will be primarily finished with metal and glass panels and each elevation will have a multitude of aluminum frame windows as well as a standard storefront system at the ground floor level. The building proposes to locate active uses immediately adjacent to the street edge along both Milwaukee and Leavitt avenue, they have proposed an outdoor seating area along the Leavitt street frontage incidentally this area is immediately across the street from a public access point to the "606" trail. The proposed color palette includes earth tone browns, white, silver or gray, and blue.
LANDSCAPING AND SUSTAINABILITY
The entire planned development will be compliant with the requirements of the Chicago Landscape Ordinance specifically in terms of parkway trees,
The subject site will be designed to be in compliance with the current City of Chicago Sustainable Development policy and will provide a vegetated roof totaling a minimum of 50% of the net roof area which equates to 8,907 square feet of area. Additionally the subject building will obtain a LEED certification.

The bicycle parking for the building uses is provided adjacent to the residential core area and can be access both from the building lobby and the rear parking area. All vehicle parking, bicycle parking/storage and,loading docks will be designed to be compliant with Chapter 10 ofthe Chicago "Zoning Ordinance.
BULK/USE/DENSITY
The current maximum allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for the proposed underlying zoning district (B3-3) is 3.0; however, the proposed planned development is designed for and will be limited to a maximum FAR of 2.2. The proposed planned development will maintain setbacks that are in compliance with the requirements ofthe B3-3 zoning designation. All remaining bulk, use and density items will be in substantial compliance with the stipulations of Section 17-3-0400 for B3-3 zoning districts.
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 composed of manufacturing uses and is accessible'from public transit. Based on that analysis;'DPD has concluded that this proposal is appropriate for this site and supports this development for the following reasons:
Promotes unified planning and development (per 17-8-0102), as evidenced through the project design which strives to maintain a balance between the retail functions of the street level with the residential uses of the floors above as well as proposing a design that will further build on the success of the 606 trail, this is achieved through providing adequate access via car and bicycle to the property, providing bicycle amenities that provide easy access to the 606 trail via the public entrance point to the northwest across Leavitt Avenue while at the same time making sure the property is inviting to the pedestrian traffic along Milwaukee and Leavitt Avenues;
Promotes economically beneficial development patterns that are compatible with the character of existing neighborhood (per 17-8-0103), as evidenced by the design of the project, and the fact that the proposed uses are in context with the character of the adjacent properties and also meet the needs ofthe immediate community;
Promotes transit, pedestrian and bicycle use, ensures accessibility for persons with disabilities and minimizes conflicts with existing traffic patterns in the vicinity (per 17-8-0904-1-2, 3 & 4), as evidenced by the site's close proximity to public transit in the form of various CTA bus lines as well as the Western Avenue and Damen Avenue blue line
FINAL
stops; the accessibility accommodations made on-site for the building users; pedestrian and bicycle ingress and egress options provided to the building users in the form of 90 bicycle parking stalls and lastly ensuring that the design of the site works within the confines of the current existing traffic patterns at the site and creates little or no adverse impact to those patterns.
Building Orientation and Massing (per 17-8-0906-B), as evidenced by the project design which brings the edge of the building up to the street frontage and provides large transparent store front windows to create and active building wall;
All sides and areas of the buildings that are visible to the public should be treated with materials, finishes, and architectural details that are of high-quality and appropriate for use on primary public-right-of-way-facing facade (per 17-8-0907-A-4), as evidenced through the information contained within this report, the proposed material is to be metal panels along with aluminum window systems and standard storefront system as shown on the elevations in the exhibits .for this planned development, and the corresponding proposal renderings;
The project meets the purpose and criteria set forth in the Chicago Zoning Ordinance and its adoption would not have any adverse impact on the public's health, safety or welfare:
-1. Per 17-13-0308-C, the proposed development is compatible with
surrounding commercial, retail, and residential developments in terms of land use, as well as, the density and scale of the physical structure.
Per 17-13-0308-D, the proposed underlying zoning for this planned development (B3-3) and is consistent with other zoning districts, both adjacent to this site and in the immediate area.
Per 17-13-0308-E, the public infrastructure facilities and City services will be adequate to serve the proposed development at the time of occupancy and the project will comply with the requirements for access in case of fire and other emergencies. 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.
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".
