ZONING ADMINISTRATOR
October 21, 2010
FOR APPROVAL:
ZONING MAP AMENDMENT WITHIN THE PILSEN INDUSTRIAL CORRIDOR AND PROPOSED WATERWAY INDUSTRIAL PLANNED DEVELOPMENT.
APPLICANT:
THE CERMAK - MORGAN LLC
LOCATION:
977 WEST CERMAK ROAD
Pursuant to the provisions of the Chicago Zoning Ordinance, Title 17 of the Municipal Code of Chicago, the Department of Zoning and Land Use Planning hereby submits this report and recommendation on a proposed Waterway Industrial Planned Development and zoning map amendment within the Pilsen Industrial Corridor for your review and recommendation to the Chicago City Council. The application for this amendment to the Chicago Zoning Ordinance was introduced into the City Council on June 30, 2010. Notice of the public hearing was published in the Chicago Sun-Times on October 4,2010. The applicant was separately notified of this public hearing.
The site is currently zoned Planned Manufacturing District No. 11 (Pilsen) and is located in the Pilsen Industrial Corridor. The applicant, The Cermak-Morgan, LLC, proposes to construct two industrial buildings. Building 'A' will total 50,000 square feet and building 'B' is approximately 100,000 square feet, with frontage along the Chicago River. The project will include a proposed riverwalk connecting to an existing riverwalk system located east of the site.
This development is being submitted by the Applicant as a mandatory Planned Development pursuant to Section 17-8-0509-A of the Chicago Zoning Ordinance, which states that Planned Development review and approval is required for any development of land which is located within 100 feet of any waterway. Section 17-13-0402 of the Chicago Zoning Ordinance requires a public hearing to be held by the Chicago Plan Commission on applications to rezone land within an industrial corridor from an "M" zoning district classification to any other zoning district classification.
Additionally section 17-13-0400 of the Chicago Zoning Ordinance requires Plan Commission review and recommendation concerning any zoning map amendment within an industrial corridor which changes the zoning from a Manufacturing District to another zoning district, in this

FINAL FOR PUBLICATION
case, a Planned Development. SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION
The approximately 9.39 acre site lies in the Pilsen Industrial Corridor. The vacant site is improved with a vacant one-story warehouse distribution building. The site is generally bounded by W. Cermak Road on the north, Morgan Street on the west, the South Branch of the Chicago River on the south and the DHL distribution building on the east.
The site lies within the Pilsen Industrial Corridor Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District. The site is currently zoned Planned Manufacturing District No. 11 (Pilsen) and is within the Pilsen Industrial Corridor, a much larger manufacturing district. The site is not within the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection District. The existing building has not been rated as potentially significant in the context of the surrounding community ("orange") by the Chicago Historic Resources Survey.
The CTA's #8 (Halsted), #18 (16th/ 18th), and #21 (Cermak) bus lines all run on streets within a half-mile of the site. The Halsted station on the CTA's Orange Line is approximately one-mile from the site.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Applicant proposes to establish a Waterway Industrial Planned Development, to allow for the construction of two industrial buildings, which it proposes to market to both developers and users. The first building will front West Cermak Road and total 50,000 square feet. The second building is approximately 100,000 square feet with frontage along the Chicago River. The project will include a proposed riverwalk connecting to an existing riverwalk system. Additionally, the project will include a maximum of 110 parking spaces.
DESIGN
Both Buildings are designed with ribbed metal panels on all four sides. The elevation fronting West Cermak Road includes the majority of the aluminum windows and store front entrances.
ACCESS/CIRCULATION
Primary Vehicular traffic would access the site via three (3) curb cuts along south Morgan Street. The project will provide twelve (12) loading berths and include 110 accessory parking spaces. An existing rail spur will remain as viable access point for delivery of supplies.
LANDSCAPING
While allowing for flexibility in the site plan for two industrial buildings, the applicant has agreed to meet all of the Landscape Ordinance requirements. In addition they will provide landscaping along the riverwalk as outlined in the river walk guidelines. Morgan Street is a public right-of way and the applicant will provide the required screen trees, shrubs for creating a hedge, and ornamental fencing. Applicant will construct riverwalk with native landscaping.
SUSTAINABILITY
The project will exceed the City of Chicago's storm water ordinance by 20% to meet the City of Chicago's Sustainable Development Policy.

FINAL FOR PUBLICATION
BULK/DENSITY/USE
The proposed development is compatible with the character of the surrounding area in terms of use, density and building scale. Planned Manufacturing District No. 11 allows for a maximum of Floor Area Ratio of 3.0. The Applicant is proposing a Floor Area Ratio of 0.39. The two proposed buildings are limited to a height of (40) forty feet.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Zoning and Land Use Planning has reviewed the project materials submitted by the Applicant. The Chicago Zoning Ordinance in Section 17-13-0400, describes two types of review and decision making criteria for Map Amendments within Industrial Corridors. The first is that review and decision-making bodies must consider the criteria established in Section 17-13-0308 governing Zoning Map Amendments. The second set of review criteria addresses whether the proposed rezoning will adversely affect the continued viability of the industrial corridor and then proceeds to establish a series of factors to determine industrial viability in Section 17-13-0403. Such factors and an analysis of this proposal follow below:
1) The size of the district:
The district is 907 acres and the subject site is 8.91 acres (389,036 SF) in size (.01 % of corridor)
2) The number of existing firms and employees that would be affected:
178 companies employ approximately 6,000 individuals. The proposed site is vacant, therefore no existing jobs would be affected, nor would the operation of any existing firms.
3) Recent and planned public and private investments within the district:
Public investment includes: 1) The Canal Street Bridge Floor Beam Rehabilitation Project. The scope of work included the replacement of the floor beams, stringers, lateral bracing and lattice struts on both leaves of the bridge. The total cost of the project was $4,060,130 and it was completed in May 2010 and Cermak Road Streetscape project.
Private investment includes: 1) Truong Enterprises, Inc., intends to construct an approximately 40,000 square foot, $5.7 million state-of-the-art, food distribution facility. The distribution facility will include approximately 3,000 square feet of office space, a four (4) bay receiving dock, nine (9) customer-loading docks and forty-three (43) parking spaces. 2) Adjacent to the Truong Enterprises, Inc. site is a proposed development of a 50,000 square foot warehouse/food processing facility with a total project cost of $8 million. 3) Carpenter SRG, LLC, a real estate investment entity recently completed a rehabilitation project of an approximately 42,000 sq. ft. distribution building with 2,500 sq. ft. of office area.
4) The potential of the district to support additional industrial uses and increased manufacturing employment:
The Pilsen Industrial corridor is situated to support additional industrial uses. There are multiple vacant and/or underutilized parcels in the corridor that are available for industrial development. There is also approximately 336,943 square feet of industrial floor space available within the corridor, therefore this change will not substantially weaken the corridor or any of the area's established industrial uses. The corridor is accessible from I-55 Stevenson Expressway and I-90/94 Dan Ryan Expressway and is well served by public transportation and rail.
5) The proportion of land in the district currently devoted to industrial uses:
3
-,vm cor PUBLICATION
Approximately 73% of the land in the corridor is zoned for industrial uses. 6) The area's importance to the city as an industrial district:
This is an important corridor due to its proximity to CTA bus routes, main thoroughfares and expressways as well as its ability to support integral intermodal facilities.
After reviewing the materials submitted by the applicant and analyzing the proposal with respect to the factors above, the Department of Zoning and Land Use Planning has concluded the following pursuant to the 17-13-0403 addressing the viability of the Industrial Corridor:
The proposed rezoning would not adversely affect the continued industrial viability of the Pilsen Industrial Corridor. There are multiple vacant and/or underutilized parcels in the corridor that are available for industrial development, which are also located in the Planned Manufacturing District. The subject building is vacant and there would be no loss of jobs or negative impact on the operations of existing companies. Therefore, the change in zoning and the redevelopment of the property will not weaken the Pilsen Industrial Corridor.
The review and decision-making criteria of Section 17-13-0400 addressing Zoning Map Amendments within Industrial Corridors also requires review under Section 17-13-0308 covering Zoning Map Amendments:
A. ZONING CONSISTENCY
The applicant seeks to rezone the property from PMD-11 to Waterway Industrial Planned Development. The Pilsen Industrial Corridor Tax Increment Redevelopment Plan, as adopted by the Plan Commission and City Council in June 10, 1998, identifies "The attraction of new industrial and business development and the creation of new job opportunities within the project area" as a redevelopment objective for the corridor.
B. ZONING APPROPRIATENESS
The site is located in the Pilsen Industrial Corridor between the West Cermak Road and the South Branch of the Chicago River. The rezoning of this site in the industrial corridor from PMD-11 to a WIPD district would not adversely affect the rest of the Pilsen Industrial Corridor, but would benefit the neighboring business by adding industrial land use and job opportunities.
C. DEVELOPMENT COMPATIBILITY
The proposed industrial uses for this project are compatible with the surrounding area. To the east of the site are two industrial distribution warehouse buildings and the uses are a continuation of permitted PMD No. 11 uses and compatible with the surrounding area.
D. PROPOSED CLASSIFICATION COMPATIBILITY
The proposed zoning classification is compatible with the surrounding zoning classifications. Currently, the site is surrounded on the north by a large C3 Commercial, Manufacturing and Employment District, and directly east and west by PMD 11 zoned properties.
E. ADEQUACY OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND CITY SERVICES
The development site is served by existing infrastructure to serve large manufacturing uses.

RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Zoning and Land Use Planning has reviewed the project materials submitted by the Applicant and have concluded that the proposed planned development would be appropriate for the site for the following reasons:
1. The project meets the criteria and objectives 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;
2. A vacant underutilized industrial site will be reused and the proposal will strengthen an already vibrant area of the industrial corridor. The development will also include an intensive riverwalk designed to connect to a planned development with an existing riverwalk;
3. Copies of this application have been circulated to other City departments and agencies and comments have been received and addressed in this revised application;
4. The proposed Planned Development has been reviewed by the Chicago Department of Transportation's Project Review Committee and all requested changes have been made.
Based on the foregoing, it is the recommendation of the Department of Zoning and Land Use Planning that the application for a Waterway Industrial Planned Development and zoning map amendment in the Pilsen Industrial Corridor be approved and the recommendation to the City Council Committee on Zoning be "As-Revised, Passage Recommended".
