JANUARY 25, 2017
PD THRESHOLD: MANDATORY PLANNED DEVELOPMENT - THE PROJECT
EXCEEDS THE HEIGHT THRESHOLD OF 80' IN A B3-5 ZONING DISTRICT (PROPOSED 295') AND THE UNIT COUNT THRESHOLD OF 100 HOUSING UNITS IN A B3-5 ZONING DISTRICT (250 PROPOSED UNITS) (SECTION 17-8-0513-A)
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 Planned Development 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 25, 2017. Proper legal notice of the public hearing on the application was published in the Chicago Sun-Times on April 5, 2017. The Applicants were separately notified of this hearing.
In addition, the subject sites are located within the Private-Use Zone of the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection District; therefore, the proposed development of the site is regulated by Section 16-4-100 of the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection Ordinance. The application was filed with the Department of Planning and Development on January 17,2017. Proper legal notice of the public hearing on the Lakefront Application was published in the Chicago Sun-Times on April 5, 2017. The Applicants were separately notified of this hearing.
The Applicants are seeking approval for a Planned Development on three properties located in Hyde Park and zoned as follows: 1600 East 53rd Street - B3-5 (Community Shopping District); 1634 East 53rd Street - B1-5 (Neighborhood Shopping District); and,
|1010|
FINAL
5232 South Hyde Park Boulevard - RM6.5 (Residential Multi-Unit District). The Applicants intend to rezone all three properties to B3-5 prior to establishing the proposed Residential Business Planned Development. The Applicants intend to construct a 27-story mixed use building with 250 dwelling units, ground floor commercial uses and accessory and non-accessory parking on proposed Subarea A of the planned development (1600 East 53rd Street). Proposed Subarea B (1634 East 53rd Street) and Subarea C (5232 S. Hyde Park Boulevard) currently consist of a two-story commercial building with accessory parking and a vacant lot, respectively, and no changes are contemplated to these properties at this time.
SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION
The subject properties are located in the eastern section of the Hyde Park Community Area on the City's South Side. The 27,539 square foot property located at 1600 East 53rd Street (NWC E. 53rd/S. Cornell) is currently improved with a non-accessory parking lot for approximately 78 vehicles and is located immediately adjacent to the Metra Electric rail line and 53rd Street Station in particular. It will be designated as Subarea A, is currently zoned B3-5 and will remain as such, under the planned development. The 21,663 square foot property located at 1634 E. 53rd Street (NEC E. 53rd/S. Cornell) is currently improved with a two-story commercial building and accessory parking. It will be designated Subarea B, is currently zoned B1-5 and will be rezoned to B3-5, under the planned development. The 8,768 square foot property located at 5232 S. Hyde Park Boulevard abuts the previous property at the rear side and is currently vacant. It will be designated Subarea C, is currently zoned RM6.5 and will be rezoned to B3-5, under the planned development. In total, the three parcels are 57,970 square feet.
The project site is effectively at the eastern end of the 53rd Street commercial retail district, past the core retail area, west of the Metra Electric Line. The zoning in the area consists of B3-5 and B1-5 districts along 53rd Street and generally residential districts (RM5, RM6, RM6.5) to the north and south. Nearby land uses include townhomes, Akiba Shecter Day School, multi-story vintage apartment buildings, modern residential towers as well as mixed use buildings with ground floor commercial uses and upper residential uses as well as single-story commercial buildings located on 53rd Street. The site is not located within a Chicago Landmark District, nor does it contain a designated local or national landmark structure or site. The proposed Subarea A site is located within the 53rd Street Tax Increment Financing District. As mentioned earlier, all three properties are located within the Chicago and Lake Michigan Lakefront Protection District.
The site is exceptionally well served by public transportation. The Metra Electric 53rd Street/Hyde Park Station is located immediately adjacent to the proposed Subarea A parcel located at 1600 E. 53rd Street. Multiple CTA bus routes are located nearby as well. In addition, a Divvy Bike Station is located on the south side of East 53rd Street just east of the Metra tracks.

FINAL
PROJECT DESCRIPTION/ACCESS/CIRCULATION Subarea A
The Applicant is proposing to construct a twenty-seven-story mixed use building that will contain 250 dwelling units, ground floor commercial space, 173 parking spaces (78 non-accessory and 95 accessory) as well as various amenities for residents. The main residential lobby for the building will be via South Cornell Avenue. The commercial space will front onto E. 53rd Street in addition to wrapping around partially onto S. Cornell Avenue. Parking access to the internal ramp and garage levels that comprise the base of the building will be via S. Cornell Avenue. Two loading berths, internal to the building will also be accessed via S. Cornell Avenue. The fourth floor of the building will serve as the indoor/outdoor amenity level for residents. The residential tower itself is planned to rise from this base to the stated maximum height of 295'. The units will include a mix of studios, one and two bedroom apartment units, averaging approximately 855-875 square feet in size. The total project costs associated with the project are estimated to be $82 Million while150 temporary jobs are planned to be created and approximately 6-16 permanent jobs are planned to be created in conjunction with the project.
Subareas B and C
No changes are currently planned to the two-story commercial building and accessory parking currently existing within Subarea B. No changes are currently planned to the vacant parcel currently existing within Subarea C.|1010|
PROPOSED SITE/GROUND FLOOR PLAN SUBAREA A
FINAL
DESIGN
The building consists of a four-story base that houses the entry function on S. Cornell Avenue, the commercial/retail function on East 53rd Street as well as the parking levels. The pedestrian level consists of a glass and aluminum frame storefront system with a glass curtain wall at the main residential entrance on S. Cornell. The remainder of the base consists of fibre cement panels and perforated metal panels that break down the base at regular intervals, concealing the parking in the process.
The tower itself rises out of the base at level four and is setback slightly on the base from E. 53rd Street and S. Cornell Avenue while setback significantly from the northern (50') and western (30') sides of the property. Glass is used at this level to provide an appropriate indoor/outdoor experience for residents at the amenity level and to further differentiate the tower from the base.
The tower itself is composed of an aluminum frame window system, composite metal panel, glass balcony railing and a perforated metal panel at the top. The tower is curvy in shape in deference to the many of the forms found in classic Hyde Park residential buildings in the immediate area.
PROPOSED RENDERING

For Subarea A, the proposed FAR will not exceed 9.76. The proposed MLA (Minimum Lot Area) will be 231, which is well above the minimum requirement of 200 in a B3-5 zoning district. The proposed maximum allowable height of the building in Subarea A will be 295 feet. Subarea A allowed uses will include: dwelling units above the ground floor, ground floor commercial uses, accessory and non-accessory parking.
|1010|
FINAL
Subareas B and C
The maximum FAR for Subarea B will be .74 while for Subarea C it will be .57. See bulk table for additional, specific details. The allowed uses for these subareas will include the following: residential uses above the ground floor, commercial uses and accessory/non-accessory parking (Subarea B); and, dwelling units located above the ground floor and on the ground floor, as well as accessory/non-accessory parking (Subarea C). See Statement 4 of Proposed PD Statements for further details. In addition, the Lakefront Application includes parking as a potential use for Parcel C.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Planning and Development has reviewed the project materials submitted by the Applicant and compared this proposal to existing development in the community. The area around this project is a mix of residential zoning districts, business/mixed use zoning districts and is just east of the core area of the primary commercial street of East 53rd Street in Hyde Park. The project represents an opportunity to construct a compatible residential infill project along East 53rd Street that responds to the particular character of the area through appropriate uses, massing and materials.
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 proposed rezoning of the subject property, from RM6.5, B1-5 and B3-5 to B3-5, is appropriate under Chapter 17-13 of the Zoning Ordinance. Specifically, the proposed development is compatible with the character of the surrounding area in terms of uses, density and building scale (17-13-0308-C) and the proposed zoning classification is compatible with surrounding zoning (17-13-0308-D).
2. 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:
Encourages unified planning and development (per 17-8-0102) as evidenced by the proposal's incorporation of a suitable vehicular and pedestrian access plan;
Promotes economically beneficial development patterns that are compatible with the character of existing neighborhoods (per 17-8-0103), as evidenced by the proposal being appropriately sited within the context of adjacent structures;
Provides that shared parking should be provided whenever possible and parking should be constructed to allow easy access to one or more buildings and multiple storefronts/uses (per 17-8-0904-C-3), as evidenced by the project's incorporation of non-accessory and accessory parking serving the
|1010|
FINAL
proposed tower as well as business district patrons and other parkers in the area in a structured and concealed parking garage;
Provides street-level spaces within buildings that are designed to accommodate active uses or to otherwise engage pedestrian interest (per 17-8-0905-A2) as evidenced by the project's incorporation of a glass storefront system at ground level on E. 53rd Street, extending the pedestrian feel and rhythm of the street to the west;
Conserves non-renewable energy and scarce materials (per 17-8-0908-A) as evidenced by the project achieving building certification;
Provides common open space (per 17-8-0909-C) as evidenced by the proposal's common fourth floor amenity level; and
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.
The site lies within the boundaries of the 53rd Street Tax Increment Financing District, which was adopted by the City of Chicago in 2001. Specifically, the land use plan for the TIF District calls for new mixed uses at the project site. In addition, the project conforms to the Metra Station Typology Study which was approved by the Chicago Plan Commission in 2014. The Metra Station Typology Study stated that the 53rd Street Station is a Major Activity Center and projects that create a greater level of housing in the vicinity of such stations should be a goal.
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.
The project will comply with the requirements for access in case of fire and other emergencies.
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".
The Department of Planning and Development has also reviewed the project materials submitted by the Applicant with regards to the Policies and Purposes of the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection Ordinance and, has concluded that the proposed development would be in compliance with the applicable Policies of the Lakefront Plan of Chicago and the Purposes of the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection Ordinance, as they apply to development in the Private Use Zone, specifically:
|1010|
FINAL
Policy No. 8 (Increase personal safety): The proposal will activate an underutilized piece of valuable urban land along East 53rd Street as well as the currently vacant parcel along Hyde Park Boulevard bringing new residents and activity to this part of Hyde Park;
Policy No. 10 (Ensure a harmonious relationship between lakeshore parks and community edges but in no instance allow private development east of Lake Shore Drive): The proposal consists of an appropriate residential infill project that utilizes its' proximity to transit and the lakefront park system to the east; and,
Policy No. 14 (Coordinate all public and private development within the water, park and community zones): This site is located within the Private-Use Zone, and the development has been coordinated with the appropriate City departments and community to minimize the impact of construction and to ensure it remains in context with the surrounding neighborhood.
With respect to the Policies not enumerated here, the Department of Planning and Development has determined that they are either not applicable to development in the Private Use Zone or that the proposed project will not have a detrimental effect on the Lake Michigan shoreline or any wildlife habitats therein. This is because the proposed project is separated from the shoreline, does not reduce existing open space or wildlife habitat and does not interfere with existing access to, or use of, the lake and its parks.
Based on the foregoing, it is the recommendation of the Department of Planning and Development that this development application, being in conformance with the provisions of the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection Ordinance, be approved, subject to compliance with the exhibits including site and Landscape Plans and elevation drawings dated April 20, 2017 and presented before you today.
