Commissioner Marisa Novara:


I represent the sponsor of the development project located at 1225 West School Street (US Investments - Residential LLC, an Illinois Limited Liability Company). As part of the development process, the sponsor has prepared and submitted an application for rezoning the subject property as a Planned Development. Under the development plan, 28 new housing units are contemplated and the development project falls under the city's Affordable Requirements Ordinance (ARO). During 2018, the project sponsor investigated and evaluated several approaches to ARO compliance, which included working with the Alderman's office (44th Ward) and the city's ARO compliance staff.

For more than 12 months, the project sponsor worked in good faith to fulfill its obligations under the ARO insofar as this project is concerned (please refer to the attached history of ARO compliance). As of November 2019, a viable means of ARO compliance with respect to the one required on- or off-site unit has eluded the sponsor. However, the sponsor understands its responsibility under the ARO and respectfully requests that it be permitted to comply through the payment of a single in-lieu fee of $600,000 to cover the obligation for three ARO units.

Respectfully submitted,
Fw: 1225 W. School
