Furthermore, pursuant to the 2021 Affordable Requirements Ordinance (ARO), the Applicant is required to designate at least 20% (7 dwelling units) of the total number of (36) dwelling units as "affordable." The programming for this particular project, calls for at least 50% of those seven (7) required affordable units — so a total of four (4) affordable units, to he located onsite (evenly represented and dispersed throughout, the proposed new building).
2. The project complies with the standards and regulations of Section 17-3-0504, except paragraph H if the project is not located along a pedestrian street, pertaining to pedestrian streets and pedestrian retail streets, even if the project is not located along a pedestrian street or a pedestrian retail street.
The design for the new proposed building calls for the entirety of the Clark Street and the Leland Avenue facades to directly abut the sidewalk (i.e., 0 feet-0 inches front and south side setbacks), with the two respective primary entrances — residential lobby on Clark Street and commercial-office unit at the comer (Leland Avenue) NOT exceeding 12 feet of the width of either such facade, and - too, NOT exceeding two-stories in height. [Please see corresponding Architectural Plan Package.] Toward these same ends, per the design, a minimum of 60% of each such street facing facade will be comprised of transparent non-reflective windows and/or doors. [Please see corresponding Architectural Plan Package — Page 7.] Lastly, all of the required off-street parking will be located wholly within the four-comcrs of the Is1 Floor of the new proposed building (garage), so to NOT be visible from either of the immediately abutting public ways, while - too, vehicular access to such parking will be accommodated via the existing Public Alley that runs along the east end of the site.
3. The project complies with the general goals set forth in the Transit Friendly Development Guide: Station Area Typology, and any other station-specific plans, designs or guidelines adopted by the Chicago Plan Commission.
The Transit Friendly Development Guide defines 'transit friendly development' as [dfevelopment which is oriented towards and integrated with adjacent transit. By way of relevant example, the proposed new development incorporates pedestrian accessibility and connectivity less than 2,630 linear feet from the entrance to the Lawrence Avenue CTA Train Station and directly on one of the City's most exploited CTA Bus Routes (Clark Street), while - too, activating this significant, previously underserved, comer of Clark Street and Leland Avenue, which serves as the predominant transition-connection between the low-density fainily-orientcd residential neighborhoods to the east (i.e., Dover Street), and the similarly utilized Chase Park (across the street — west), to the more bustling commercial corridor along Clark Street to the south and Broadway Avenue further to the east - with a new business that will be intended to service the residents of the immediate community and patrons of the same. Along these same lines, the new proposed improvements are situated in the heart of the neighborhood's most robust retail and hospitality corridor, which extends for at least five blocks to the south and connects to the same such corridor along Broadway Avenue to the cast, while ¦¦¦ too, providing an immediate connection the other nearby communities via a short bus or train ride., or - weather pending, via bicycle (personal or with multiple Divvy Bicycle Stations along the way).

4. Residential building projects shall not have a number of parking spaces in excess of 50% of the Minimum Automobile Parking Ratio for the applicable district listed in Section 17-10-0207 with any fractional result rounded up to the next higher whole number, unless additional parking spaces are approved as an administrative adjustment under the provisions of Section 17-13-1003-EE.
The project calls for the construction ofa new mixed-use building that will contain a total of thirty-six (36) dwelling units and off-street accessory parking for eighteen (18) vehicles, which represents a 50% reduction in the otherwise required one-to-one parking ratio for residential uses, and which such reduction is permitted as of right pursuant to Section 17-10-0102-13(1).
5. The project complies with the Travel Demand Study and Management Plan rules of the Chicago Department of Transportation. The City's Commissioner of Transportation is authorized to issue Travel Demand Study and Management Plan rules consistent with this section.
In a direct and deliberate effort to promote public forms of transportation, and — too, to mitigate vehicular congestion and traffic in this pedestrian-oriented neighborhood, while still balancing the express interests and demands of the existing residents of the community, the proposed new development will provide only one (1) designated off-street parking space for every two (2) dwelling units, with priority being offered to tenants of the larger (two-bedroom and three-bedroom units) building, on a first come basis. Such considerations should dissuade residents who require and/or rely on individual automobile ownership from renting within the proposed new building, thereby attracting those residents who desire to rely on public and/or non-vehicular (carbon-neutral) forms of transit. As well, the proposed development includes a sizeable Storage Room, within the ground floor (garage) of the building that can accommodate interior parking for at least forty-eight (48) bicycles and/or scooters. Beyond these onsite accommodations, there arc additional bicycle racks located on the sidewalk in front of the subject site and the Applicant is committed to working with the local Alderman and representatives from the CTA and CDOT, toward providing additional public bicycle racks and/or Divvy Stations, should such be desired. In further effort to promote more reliance on the City's bountiful public transit, the Applicant is also committed to working with the local Alderman and the CTA toward installing electronic CTA trackers within the common areas of the building, to allow for more efficient trip planning.
