    1. The terms and conditions of development under this Planned Development ordinance may be modified administratively, pursuant to section 17-13-0611-A of the Zoning Ordinance by the Zoning Administrator upon the application for such a modification by the Applicant, its successors and assigns and, if different than the Applicant, the legal title holders and any ground lessors.
    2. The Applicant acknowledges that it is in the public interest to design, construct and maintain the project in a manner which promotes, enables and maximizes universal access throughout the Property. Plans for all buildings and improvements on the Property shall be reviewed and approved by the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations related to access for persons with disabilities and to promote the highest standard of accessibility.
    3. The Applicant acknowledges that it is in the public interest to design, construct, renovate and maintain all buildings in a manner that provides healthier indoor environments, reduces operating costs and conserves energy and natural resources. The buildings within this Planned Development shall achieve a minimum two (2) star rating under the Chicago Green Homes Program.
  1. The Applicant acknowledges and agrees that the rezoning of the Property from M2-3 to
Residential Planned Development No.              for the construction of forty-one (41)
residential units triggers the requirements of Section 2-45-110 of the Municipal Code (the "Affordable Housing Ordinance"). Under the Affordable Housing Ordinance, any developer of a "residential housing project" must: (i) develop affordable housing units as part of the residential housing project; (ii) pay a fee in lieu of the development of affordable housing units; or (iii) any combination of (i) and (ii). The term "residential housing project" as used in the Affordable Housing Ordinance "means one or more buildings that collectively contain ten or more housing units on one or more tax parcels or lots marketed as a single or unified project or sharing common elements, or comprising a part of a planned development or the addition of ten or more housing units to an existing building."
 
This Planned Development is the second phase of the Riverbend Estates development (the "Phase II Project"). The first phase of the development (the "Phase I Project") is located across Hillock Street and is comprised of 27 single-family homes. The Phase I Project received a zoning change and also triggered the requirements of the Affordable Housing Ordinance. Because the Applicant intends to market the Phase I Project and the Phase II Project "as a single or unified project," the Department has determined that the two phases constitute a single "residential housing project" consisting of 69 units. In accordance with the requirements of the Affordable Housing Ordinance, the Applicant must provide a total of seven (7) affordable units ("Affordable Units") to households earning up to 100% of the Chicago Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area median income for both phases, or make a cash payment to the Affordable Housing Opportunity Fund in the amount of $100,000 per required affordable unit ("Cash Payment").

The Applicant has previously executed an Affordable Housing Covenant and Lien (the "Phase I Covenant") dated September 26, 2011, and recorded as Document No. 1127129015 on September 28, 2011, pursuant to which the Applicant has agreed to provide three (3) Affordable Units foe the Phase I Project or make the required Cash Payment in lieu of the construction of Affordable Units. For this Planned Development for the Phase II Project, the Applicant has agreed to provide the remaining four (4) Affordable Units or make the required Cash Payment in lieu thereof in accordance with the Affordable Housing Ordinance and the Affordable Housing Profile Form attached hereto as Exhibit A. At the time of each Part II review for the Phase II Project, the Applicant shall update and resubmit the Affordable Housing Profile Form to the Department of Housing and Economic Development ("HED") for review and approval. If the Applicant subsequently reduces the number of dwelling units in the Phase II Project,
HED may adjust the requirements of this Statement      (i.e., number of Affordable Units
and/or amount of Cash Payment) accordingly without amending this Planned Development. Prior to the issuance of any building permit for the Phase II Project, including without limitation, excavation or foundation permits, the Applicant must either make the required Cash Payment, or execute another Affordable Housing Covenant and Lien (the "Phase II Covenant") in accordance with Section 2-45-110(i)(2). The terms of the Phase II Covenant and any amendments thereto are incorporated herein by this reference. The Applicant acknowledges and agrees that the Phase II Covenant will be recorded against the Phase II Project and will constitute a lien against each Affordable Unit. The City shall execute partial releases of the Phase II Covenant prior to or at the time of the sale of each Affordable Unit to an income-eligible buyer at an affordable price, subject to the simultaneous execution and recording of a mortgage, restrictive covenant or similar instrument against such Affordable Unit, or upon receipt of the per unit Cash Payment. The Commissioner of HED may enforce remedies for breach of the Phase II Covenant, and enter into settlement agreements with respect to any such breach, subject to the approval of the Corporation Counsel, without amending this Planned Development. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Planned Development shall not regulate the Phase I Project.
 
16. The Applicant acknowledges the importance of the Chicago River as a resource for both commerce and recreation and also acknowledges the City's goals of improving the appearance, quality and accessibility of the river, as contained in the waterway planned development guidelines contain in the Zoning Ordinance (Section 17-8-0912) and the Chicago River Corridor Design Guidelines and Standards. To further these goals, the Applicant agrees to: (a) provide a landscaped 60-foot-wide river setback and continuous riverside trail as indicated on the Site Plan and Landscape Plan; and (b) permit connection of such setback and trail to the setback and trails of adjacent properties when the river edges of the adjacent properties are similarly improved. The Applicant shall permit ungated public access to the river setback and provide signage on the river-walk that the river-walk is open to the public during typical Chicago Park District hours. All improvements within the river setback must be substantially completed prior to receipt of Certificate of Occupancy for the principal building, provided that planting may be delayed, if consistent with good landscape practice, but not longer than one year following

receipt of the occupancy certificate.
  1. The Applicant acknowledges that it is in the public interest to ensure that adequate open space and recreational facilities are provided to serve new residential developments. As stated in the Open Space Impact Fee Ordinance Section 16-18-080 of the Municipal Code of Chicago, in the case of larger developments which are processed as Planned Developments, developers are encouraged to provide open space and recreational facilities on-site to serve new residents instead of paying open space impact fees. All open spaces developed for use by the public must be in compliance with the Open Space Impact Fee Administrative Regulations and Procedures promulgated by the Commissioner of the Department of Housing and Economic Development, pursuant to Section 16-18-110.
  2. This Planned Development shall be governed by Section 17-13-0612 of the Zoning Ordinance. Should this Planned Development ordinance lapse, the Commissioner of the Department of Housing and Economic Development shall initiate a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the property to its M2-3 Light Industry District zoning classification.
