Existing Subarea A and Subarea C are under the single-designated control of Harper Court Partners, LLC.

2. All applicable official reviews, approvals or permits are required to be obtained by the owner(s) of the individual subareas or their successors, assignees or grantees. Any dedication or vacation of streets, alleys, easements or adjustments of rights-of-way, or consolidation or resubdivision of parcels, shall require a separate submittal on behalf of the owner(s) of the individual subareas or their successors, assignees or grantees and approval by the City Council.

3.

11. The Improvements on the Property shall be designed, constructed and maintained in substantial conformance with the exhibits attached hereto and with the landscaping and screening provisions of the Chicago Zoning Ordinance and corresponding regulations and guidelines.

12. Pursuant to Section 2-45-110 of the Municipal Code, the "Affordable Requirements Ordinance" (the "ARO"), an amendment to a Planned Development which grants additional floor area for the development of 10 or more housing units and/or for which the developer is receiving financial assistance from the City, subjects the development of the additional housing units authorized or permitted by such amendment to the affordability requirements specified under the ARO. As a result of this amendment to Planned Development No. 38, the City Council has approved additional floor area that authorizes or permits the development of 10 or more units. Ten percent (10%) - or Twenty percent (20%), if financial assistance is provided by the City - of any housing units developed as part of the Planned Development are required to be built as affordable housing, as that term is defined by the ARO. As part of the approval process for any application proposing the construction of residential dwelling units, the Applicant shall also provide, for the review and approval of the Department of Community Development (or any successor department thereto), such information, documents and agreements as may be required under the ARO to assure that such required affordable housing units are provided and maintained.

13. It is in the public interest to design, construct and renovate all buildings in a manner that provides healthier environments, reduces operating costs and conserves energy and resources. All buildings constructed within Subareas A and C shall be Certified under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ("L.E.E.D.") Green Building Rating System and shall install a green roof over 100% of each building's net roof area. Upon completion, the buildings constructed in Subarea A, except the hotel, shall have a total green roof of approximately 60,690 square feet. Phase I development shall have a total green roof of approximately 14,743 square feet within three (3) years of the issuance of the first Part II for Phase I. All buildings constructed pursuant to this Planned Development shall conform to the City of Chicago Sustainable Development Policy Matrix (the "Matrix") in effect on the date of approval of this Planned Development.

14. It is in the public interest to design, construct and maintain the improvements on the Property in a manner which promotes, enables, and maximizes universal access throughout the Property. Plans for all newly constructed buildings and improvements on the Property shall be reviewed and approved by the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities ("M.O.P.D.") to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations related to access for persons with disabilities and to promote the highest standard of accessibility.

15. Upon Part II Review, a Part II Review Fee shall be assessed by the Department of Zoning and Land Use Planning pursuant to Section 17-13-0610 of the Chicago Zoning Ordinance. The fee as determined by staff at the lime is final and binding on the Part II applicant and must be paid to the Department of Revenue prior to the issuance of any Part II approval.

16. It is contemplated that the improvements within Subarea A and Subarea C of this Planned Development will be constructed in phases and that all proposed buildings will not be

fully designed at the time of the Planned Development's passage and approval. Accordingly, for the improvements in Subareas A and C not reviewed and approved by the Chicago Plan Commission, and for any new improvements in Subarea B, Site Plan Review shall be required for each proposed improvement.

The Commissioner of the Department of Zoning and Land Use Planning must review the Site Plan and submit it to the Chicago Plan Commission for its information and review. The Commissioner must make a decision within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Chicago Plan Commission's review whether the proposed plans conform to the character and requirements of this Planned Development.

In the event of an inconsistency between the approved Site Plan and the Plan of Development Statements or the Bulk Regulations and Data Table of this Planned Development, the Plan of Development Statements and Bulk Regulations and Data Table shall govern.

17. Each developer of any portion of the Property at the time of a project shall comply with Rules and Regulations for the Maintenance of Stockpiles promulgated by the Commissioner of the Department of Streets and Sanitation, the Commissioner of the Environment and the Commissioner of Buildings pursuant to Section 13-32-125 of the Municipal Code of the City of Chicago or any other provision of that Code.

18. This Planned Development ordinance will lapse and be null and void unless construction within Subarea A of the Subarea A Phase I Improvements as set forth in the attached Exhibits and as authorized by a building permit, has commenced within six years of the date of City Council approval. The six year period may be extended by up to one additional year if. before expiration, the Commissioner of the Department of Zoning and Land Use Planning receives a written request from the owner(s) of Subarea A and determines that good cause for an extension is shown.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Chicago Zoning Ordinance, Title 17 of the Municipal Code of Chicago, the Department Zoning and Land Use Planning hereby submits this report and recommendation on a proposed amendment to Business Planned Development No. 38 for your review and recommendation to the Chicago City Council. The application for this amendment to the Chicago Zoning Ordinance was introduced directly into the City Council Committee on Zoning on August 31, 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 applicant, Alderman Toni Preckwinkie (4th Ward), proposes to amend Residential Planned Development No. 38, located in the Hyde Park Community Area and the Fourth Ward. The applicant proposes to amend the Planned Development to extend the Planned Development boundaries, realign the three subareas, increase the maximum floor area ratio (F.A.R.) from 1.20 to 5.00, and expand the list of permitted uses for a mixed-use development, including up to 425 residential dwelling units. All of the above changes require a legislative amendment to the Planned Development. The application proposes to rezone the property to B3-5 Community Shopping District prior to re-establishing the amended Residential-Business Planned Development.

APPLICANT: LOCATION:

FINAL FOR PUBLICATION

BACKGROUND

Business Planned Development No. 38 was approved by the Chicago City Council December 30, 1965, for an approximately 3.76-acre urban renewal site bounded by East 52nd Street, South Lake Park Avenue (relocated), East 53rd Street, a line approximately 111 feet west of South Lake Park Avenue (relocated), a line approximately 110 feet north of East 53rd Street and continued along the alley just north of East 53rd Street, and South Harper Avenue. The boundaries also included a parcel on the west side of South Harper Avenue, 90 feet south of East 52nd Street.

The Planned Development provided for several rearrangements of the street network. In addition to relocating S. Lake Park Avenue to the east, along the edge of the Metra railroad embankment, a 110-foot portion of S. Harper Avenue was vacated in mid-block to create a plaza connecting the parcels on either side of S. Harper Avenue, S. Harper Avenue was widened to 80 feet on either side of the plaza to accommodate landscaped turn-arounds in the resulting cul-de-sacs, and the 12-wide alley north of E. 53rd Street was widened to 37 feet and designated E. 52nd Place.

The centerpiece of the development, designated Subarea A (1.68 acres), was a cluster of four small commercial buildings fronting on S. Harper Avenue, one building on the west side of the street and three on the east side. The buildings were two stories high, although three of them had the first floor depressed below street level. The uses consisted of small retail shops, restaurants, and professional offices. The site of these commercial buildings, as well as the plaza in the vacated portion of S. Harper Avenue that connected them, was heavily landscaped.

The parcel at the southwest corner of E. 52nd Street and S. Lake Park Avenue, Subarea B (0.59 acre), was later developed with a McDonald's restaurant with a drive-through window. The remaining frontage along S. Lake Park Avenue and E. 53rd Street, Subarea C (1.49 acres), became a City-owned public parking lot.

SITE AND AREA DESCRIPTION

Currently, one of the four small commercial buildings has been demolished, leaving a fenced hole in the ground, and two of the others are only partially occupied. The fourth building, at the southeast corner of E. 52nd Street and S. Harper Avenue, is actively used for a restaurant. The Subarea B McDonald's restaurant is active and well maintained. The pavement of the public parking lot is deteriorating and the lot's landscaping has never been upgraded to the standards of the current Landscape Ordinance, save for a decorative metal fence along S. Lake Park Avenue and E. 53rd Street. The project proposed by this Planned Development amendment would demolish all of the Subarea A commercial buildings and eliminate the public parking lot. Only the McDonald's restaurant would continue.

The project's immediate surroundings are predominantly commercial, the only exceptions being the three-story multi-family residential buildings at the other three corners of E. 52nd Street and S. Harper Avenue. The north side of E. 53rd Street contains a series of one- and three-story commercial buildings containing stores and

FINAL FOR PUBLICATION

restaurants on their ground floors. The south side of E. 53rd Street contains a book store and the 12-story Hyde Park Bank Building. East 53rd Street, between S. Kenwood Avenue and S. Lake Park Avenue is a designated Pedestrian Street in the Zoning Ordinance. South Harper Avenue contains more commercial buildings, including the Hyde Park Theater Building. South Lake Park Avenue contains a gas station on the west side and the vegetated embankment of the Metra Lakeshore Electric Line. Further away from the site, both E. 53rd Street and S. Lake Park Avenue are generally commercial with single- and multi-family residential buildings away from those streets.

The site is within the 53rd Street Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District. It is not within in the Lake Michigan and Chicago Lakefront Protection District; nor is it within an Industrial Corridor. It is not within a designated Chicago Landmark District and it does not contain any buildings that have been designated as Chicago Landmarks or buildings that have been rated as either potentially significant in the broader context of the city, state, or country ("red") or as potentially significant in the context of the surrounding community ("orange") by the Chicago Historic Resources Survey.

The site is served by the CTA's #15 (Jeffery Local) and #28 (Stony Island) bus lines. The closest transit station is the 51st-53rd Street Station of the Metra Lakefront Electric Line at the corner of E. 53rd Street and S. Lake Park Avenue. The closest CTA transit station is the 51st Street station of the Green Line, approximately two miles away and accessible by the #15 (Jeffery) bus.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The application proposes to redevelop the entire site of Planned Development No. 38, except for Subarea B and its McDonald's restaurant. The new mixed-use development would contain approximately 150,000 square feet of offices, 100,000 square feet of retail/commercial space, 150 hotel rooms, 395 residential dwelling units, and at least 600 off-street parking spaces.

To accommodate this redevelopment, the Planned Development boundaries would be expanded by incorporating an additional parcel along E. 53rd Street, extending to the alley west of S. Lake Park Avenue. This parcel contains a vacant one-story commercial building, which would be demolished. Also, the subareas would be redesignated. Subarea B with its McDonald's restaurant would remain unchanged. The parcel on the west side of S Harper Avenue, now part of Subarea A, would become the new Subarea C. The rest of Subarea A and the current Subarea C with its public parking lots would become a new Subarea A.

A number of street and alley changes are also proposed. South Harper Avenue would be reopened between E. 52nd Street and E. 53rd Street by rededicating the piece of S. Harper Avenue that was previously vacated to form the plaza. Where S. Harper Avenue had been widened at either end of the plaza, those 14-foot widenings would be vacated, resulting in a S. Harper Avenue with continuous 66-foot right-of-way. East 52nd Place would be narrowed from 37 feet to 24 feet and the 14-foot north-south alley

FINAL FOR PUBLICATION

that connects it to E. 53rd Street would be vacated, replaced by an expanded private access street. A number of public alleys within the site would be vacated.

The private street, called Harper Court, would extend eastward from S. Harper Avenue, from a point between E. 52nd Street and E. 52nd Place, approximately 200 feet towards the east. There, it would bend south and go another 210 feet to E. 53rd Street. It would also form the terminus of E. 52nd Place. The new private street would divide Subarea A into two parcels. The smaller of the two parcels would be bounded by S. Harper Avenue on the west, E. 52nd Place on the south, and the new private Harper Court on the north and east. This parcel would be the site of a future hotel.

The larger parcel, constituting most of Subarea A, would contain the main development. The first element of this would be a large, 228-space underground garage, extending under all of Subarea A, including the hotel site. The ground floor would be occupied by retail space and lobbies for the office and residential components. The retail spaces would open onto all of the surrounding streets - E. 52nd Street, S. Lake Park Avenue, E. 53rd Street, and the private Harper Court. The second floor would be devoted to another 192 parking spaces.

Above the second level, the project would be divided into three components, a twelve-story office tower along E. 53rd Street, a 35-story condominium tower to its north along S. Lake Park Avenue, and a six-story residential structure at the corner of E. 52nd Street and S. Harper Avenue. In the office tower, levels three and four would be occupied by a fitness center, and levels five through twelve would contain office space.

In the condo tower, floors 3 - 8 would contain another 290 parking spaces. The ninth floor would have amenity spaces for the condo residents, plus a large landscaped common deck next to the office tower. Floors 10-35 would house the condominium units.

The residential component along S. Harper Avenue would add a third 98-space parking level, then three floors of residential units. The residential floors would be U-shaped, open to the east. Between the wings of the "U", there would be an open landscaped deck for the residents on the roof of the third floor.

,, Neither the mixed-use retail/residential building in Subarea C on the west side of S. Harper Avenue, nor the hotel in Subarea has been designed, yet. Any development proposal for those two sites will require review by the Commissioner of Zoning and Land Use Planning and the Chicago Plan Commission and approval of the Commissioner.

DESIGN

The ground-floor retail and lobby spaces would have an almost continuous facade of glass and aluminum storefronts along the public sides of the project. The second floor, which would be all parking, would be clad in painted precast concrete panels with a cut fieldstone effect.

FINAL FOR PUBUCWW

On the office component, the east, south, and west glass walls of the third and fourth floors would be set back from the second floor with two-story metal-clad columns around the perimeter of the setback. The cladding of the office floors, 5-12, would be would be an aluminum and glass window wall system with alternating bands of vision and spandrel glass.

The parking levels of the condo tower, floors 3 - 8, would be covered with the painted precast panels except for the third floor, which would be glass. The north elevation of these parking floors would be a mix of the painted precast concrete panels, artificial stone tile, and glass. The amenity floor (9) and the residential floors (10 - 35) would be clad with an aluminum and glass window wall system. Every fifth floor, beginning with the ninth floor, would be recessed, creating terraces for the residents. On the south elevation of the condo tower there would be four perforated metal screens attached to the side of the building and extending from the roof to the landscaped common deck on the ninth floor. The screens are intended to provide sun shading on this side of the building and would flare out over the deck to shade it, as well.

On the mid-rise residential component, the third-floor parking would also be clad with glass. The three residential floors would be covered with glass, but with projecting balconies encased in a metal panel system with glass railings.

ACCESS and CIRCULATION

The private street, Harper Court, would provide the main focus of the project for pedestrian and drop-off access. All of the retail frontage, however, would provide pedestrian entries. The entrance to the underground parking would be from S. Harper Avenue, while the entrance to the upper-level parking would be from S. Lake Park Avenue. The loading docks for the entire project would be located on E. 52nd Street. One parking space would be provided for each residential/condo unit. And approximately 420 spaces would be provided for the office, retail, and hotel uses.

LANDSCAPING and SUSTAINABILITY

Parkway trees would be provided along the public streets according to the Zoning Code wherever they are either missing or have to be removed for construction activity. The sole exception would be along E. 52nd Place, which would be reduced in width to only twenty feet.

Harper Court, the private street, would serve as both a street and an open space amenity. The street would be designed for some on-street parking and slow traffic, but the design would place the needs of pedestrians above the automobile. Planters would be installed, above-ground or in-ground, to accommodate trees and decorative landscaping. The street would be embellished with decorative pavement and designed for closure for public events, such as markets and concerts. In addition, two landscaped roof decks would be provided for the residents, one at the ninth floor for the condos and one on the fourth floor for residents of the mid-rise.

FOR PUBLICATION

The project would have LEED Certification (possibly Platinum) for the Core and Shell of the retail, office and parking components and LEED Neighborhood Development Certification (Silver or Gold) for the overall project. Green roof in the extent of approximately 60,690 square feet, or 100% of net roof area, would be provided. Other sustainable development features would include roof-top solar thermal panels, mechanical systems that exceed the ASHRAE 90.1 (2007) standards, use of rainwater in toilet flushing, and an integrated storm water system.

The future hotel and Subarea C retail/residential buildings will be require LEED Certification and green roofs at 100% of net roof area.

PHASING

Besides the future development of the hotel and Subarea C retail/residential buildings, the main project will also be developed in phases. The first phase will encompass the underground parking, the ground floor retail, the second level parking, and the office tower with its fitness center. Timing of the condo tower with its six levels of parking would depend on market conditions for residential development. The same applies to the development of the mid-rise residential units.

The Subarea C parcel on the west side of S. Harper Avenue would be converted to a fully landscaped surface parking lot until the market is ready for the proposed retail/ residential project. The concrete slab over the top of the underground parking would cover the hotel site until development.

RECOMMENDATION

The Department of Zoning and Land Use Planning has reviewed the project materials submitted by the applicant and has concluded that the proposed new zoning for the site, B3-5 Community Shopping District, which would serve as base zoning for the proposed Planned Development, is appropriate for the site. The site is at the boundary between higher density zoning to the east (B3-5, RM6, and RM6.5) and less intense zoning to west (B3-2 and RM5). The proposed B3-5 zoning for the site would be consistent and compatible with the adjacent zoning to the east. Also, the B3-5 zoning allows for the mix of uses, density, and height required to redevelop this site is support of the goals of the 53rd Street Redevelopment Project Area (TIF) Plan.

Further, the Department of Zoning and Land Use Planning has reviewed the project materials submitted by the applicant and has concluded that the proposed amendment to Business Planned Development No. 38 would be appropriate for the site and that the project meets the review criteria for planned developments set forth in the Zoning Ordinance (Section 17-13-0900).

1. The project complies with the Standards and Guidelines for Planned Developments in the Zoning Ordinance (Section 17-8-0900).

a. Compliance with Zoning. The proposed amended Planned Development conforms with the standards and requirements of the zoning proposed for

FINAL FOR PUBLICATION

the site prior to re-establishing the amended Planned Development (B3-5 Community Shopping District). The proposed maximum overall 5.00 Floor Area Ratio (F.A.R.) matches the maximum in the B3-5 district (5.00). All the uses proposed by the application are allowed in the B3-5 district; the proposed setbacks, and the parking and loading provisions comply with the Code. The tallest building proposed for the site (approximately 400 feet) may exceed the B3-5 districts 80-foot height limit only through this Planned Development.

b. Approved Plans. This site lies within the 53rd Street Tax Increment Finance District. With the recommendation of the Chicago Plan Commission, the Chicago City Council, in 2000, approved a Redevelopment Plan for the area, including a Land Use Plan. That Land Use Plan called for mixed-use development at this site. The proposed project conforms to that plan, with its mix of residential and retail uses. The proposed project also addresses the goals of that Redevelopment Plan by providing adequate parking, providing pedestrian-friendly uses and design, and developing mixed uses at the intersection of E. 53rd Street and S. Lake Park Avenue.

c. Transportation, Traffic Circulation and Parking. Under B3-5 Community Shopping District zoning, the project would be required to have at least 344 off-street accessory parking spaces; the project will provide approximately 800 spaces. The site is well served by public transportation. Not only do two CTA bus lines serve the site, but the 51st-53rd Station on the Metra Lakeshore Electric Line is within several hundred feet of the site.

d. Pedestrian Orientation. The ground floor on all public streets, as well as the private Harper Court, would be devoted to retail frontage and the residential lobbies with large amounts of glass on the retail elevations. Curb cuts would be kept to a minimum, none on E. 53rd Street and the private street, and only one each on S. Harper Avenue, E. 52nd Street, and S. Lake Park Avenue.

e. Urban and Building Design. The project's central urban design element would be the Harper Court private street, designed more to serve pedestrians and public events than the automobile. The project would consist of three distinct elements, office, condo, and mid-rise, each with its own distinctive massing components and surface textures. The whole, however, would be tied together by the unified look of the ground-floor retail spaces and the second-floor parking level. The future hotel and Subarea C retail/residential structures would be designed individually.

FINAL FOR PUBLICATION

2. The proposed development is compatible with the character of the surrounding area in terms of uses, density and building scale.

a. Mixed uses are typical in this section of Hyde Park, especially along E. 53rd Street and S. Lake Park Avenue, as well as in the East Hyde Park neighborhood on the east side of the Metra tracks. The project's retail component will extend that of E. 53rd Street into the site and replace the surface parking lots and obsolete commercial buildings. The introduction of residential uses on the site, up to 395 units, will provide street activity for all of the 53rd Street commercial street.

Although the project would introduce a tall residential tower (approximately 400 feet), it would fit in the context of tall residential towers existing and planned to its east and north. The area of East Hyde Park north of E. 53rd Street, alone, contains ten buildings between 240 feet and 357 feet in height. Even along S. Lake Park Avenue, there are buildings 144 feet and 260 feet high and one recently approved at 280 feet. The 12-story office tower would be approximately the same height as the Hyde Park Bank Building on the opposite side of E. 53rd Street.

3. The public infrastructure facilities and city services will be adequate to serve the proposed development at the time of occupancy.

a. The proposed Planned Development has been reviewed by the Chicago Department of Transportation's Project Review Committee 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 revised application.

Based on the foregoing, it is the recommendation of the Department of Zoning and Land Use Planning that the revised application for an amended Planned Development be approved and that the recommendation to the City Council Committee on Zoning be: "As Revised, Passage Recommended."
