Today's hearing, and we will hear from them now.
Uh, first is Rosa Gomez.
Please step to the mic.
Uh,
and after Rosa is Miss, Jessica Jackson.
And after Miss Jackson is d.
Piscans.
Perkins, I'm I apologize. Perkins.
You may proceed ma'am.
Hello.
Um, thank you for letting me speak. My name is Rosa, Rose,
Gomez. And I am a constituent from the city of Chicago
here. And I am here to speak on behalf of the voiceless,
which includes the homeless pets that are not well, cared
for, in this city of Chicago.
I'm going to read part of a petition that Animal Advocates,
including myself.
have drawn up, and we do want to thank Alderman, Raymond
Lopez for leading this cause
which includes not having a permanent.
director for Chicago Animal Care control, and this has been
the status
For 2 years. And the question is, why is that that's the
job of the mayor, which he has not done? Why isn't he doing
his job?
I encourage you city council members.
To.
Hire a director at the Chicago Animal Care and Control.
There are many problems over there at Chicago animal care
and control and part of the petition.
Um, includes a few which I am going to read.
Sorry.
Okay, Chicago animal care and control which is located at
2741. Southwestern urgently needs increased funding and
support to fix the crisis. Cic is completely overwhelmed
and the conditions that CAC do not support the welfare of
animals, volunteers and staff. The situation at CAC is
dire. The shelter is beyond capacity. There has been a
reduction in open hours, reduction intake and reduction of
street level service provided by the city of Chicago, which
is taxpayer funded. We must do better to support the
welfare of the tens of thousands of animals that enter our
shelter or enter the shelter each year.
And that the dedicated staff and volunteers who work
tireless tirelessly to care for them. It is critical that
mayor Brandon Johnson and the city council.
and his Alderman, increased resources to CAC to ensure that
the resources leadership and infrastructure that it needs
is going to be provided.
There are, like I said there are many issues. Um,
I do a TNR which is trap neuter and return which is what
this chart is.
And what it is. I trap feral cats in the street. You have
to have an appointment first.
Thank you.
We also like to, um,
Acknowledge. Um,
For the Quorum alderman laspada.
Miss Jackson.
Please proceed.
Okay, good morning. Um,
okay, first of all,
Like we talked about downstairs Alderman Bernette
condolences to you.
and based on the conversation that you, we had, I know now
that you understand the severity of everything that I'm
talking about,
now, with that being said,
it's not my desire to use this microphone as a weapon.
It's my desire to use this microphone to communicate to
concerns.
Of myself and my community.
Now with that being said, I'm going to ask for another
meeting with you so that we can discuss this issue of
zoning this issue of landmarks.
I've expressed before that. A lot of buildings on the south
side.
Should be considered landmarks because of the age of the
buildings and they should be given some of these resources
to get refurbished.
So that private citizens can buy these buildings now. Real
quick, this issue was 71st in Jeffrey with this Walgreens
Desmond, yansi Alderman. Yansi has it in his mind that he's
going to put some type of low-income housing there. No,
he's not, he's not going to continue to play with zoning
rules to put all type of junk in South Shore.
now, you got all these developers here, that think that
they're going to keep talking around the black people in
that Community, know they're not
No, they're not.
Now if here's the the the properties that y'all talking
about
Now, I wasn't up there at Capitol Hill at that hearing for
nothing.
And I didn't get no strings pulled.
To get me there, they wanted me to be there. The Republican
Party wanted me to be there because of the work that they
see that I'm doing in Chicago.
And I'm going to utilize those resources. Those people to
stop this type of junk.
If investigations and federal investigations have to be
done to protect zoning. Like how you all did with this
immigration stuff, breaking, all kind of zoning rules to
put these people in illegal immigrants and warehouses
schools and all that junk.
It's going to stop.
We don't want a bunch of welfare low-income junk.
In South Shore, we want generational wealth. We want single
family housing, we want opportunity for private citizens to
own property.
Now if you all can't get it together, I'm going to the
federal with it and they're going to stop the funding.
Thank you. Miss Jackson.
D.
Oh uh my name is D Perkins. I am here also to speak about
the uh 71st and Jeffrey uh resoning uh proposal uh by
Desmond ancy.
Desmond, Auntie is claiming that the reason that he wants
to change the zoning from a B3. D3 commercial, uh,
Community shopping district to our m-5 residential
multi-unit, is because he wants to have control over. What
business comes into the Walgreens space now on the surface.
that sounds great, but if you look at some of his plans
that he has for the community as a whole, that makes a lot
of us nervous.
Also, Walgreens has already agreed. First of all, Walgreens
does not own the property that it's in. It's, it's a tenant
and it has 6 years left on its lease so it's limited in its
power, only to those 6 years and unless it renews its lease
and whatnot. So it's just trying to sublease and get
another tenant in so that it can, you know, cut its cost in
the meantime.
The concern is obviously what type of business will inhabit
that space.
But Walgreens has already agreed to a community like
collaborative approach into what they will allow to come
into space.
We don't want it to be resand into housing.
Just to make sure.
It's a business that we all want. There are ways that we
can ensure that it's the right type of business that the
community wants and that, you know, we're not going to
everyone's not going to agree. We can't make everyone
happy. We understand that but there are ways to to make
sure that we get something that is viable and sustainable
for the community, we don't need to rezone it. We are not
comfortable with that. If you look on your phone or, you
know, pull up on your computer, 71009, South Jeffery
Boulevard. You will see that that location is literally in
the middle of a shopping center.
the I can already see his plans with the CBA that he has
uh, that he's going to propose to you all that he has
already proposed and just some of the, the long-term plans
and that this is
Detrimental to us and the future of our community. If we
allow it to be resand, now, once it's resand it can only
get unzoned or re-zoned back into commercial. If he does it
or whoever the new aldermen is, if it's not him, who's
re-elected, we don't want that type of power given to 1
single person.
the community as a whole should have to say in that and
there are ways like I said that we can make sure that we
ensure we get what we want and they're without reasoning it
to a residential Zone in the middle of a commercial uh
district. And what I also want to add is like the only
commercial District in the mediate area which also makes us
nervous.
Housing is a big topic. Um, uh, Mr, Mosley. I know he's
rezoning manufacturing, uh, lots and whatnot, and to
residential, which that means that there will be no
manufacturing jobs on the south side because, you know, but
we will be housed on top of each other. We will be living
on top of, and on top of, and on top of what we already
are, when we can't work, play shop or do anything in our
communities, but we can live and we can be low income. And
That's about all we get. And so what I'm asking is that you
deny or, you know, uh,
Yes. Oppose this this proposal to zone or to set?
Thank you.
So now we will have, um,
Pastor Dr. Walter A McCrae,
Followed by.
Patrick klopek.
excuse me, if I said your name wrong,
That's an error. Okay. Uh Jasmine
Tender Jasmine tear.
Yeah, you're after him?
And John Bosa.
You, you may proceed? Yeah, good morning. Uh, chairman and
the committee. My name is Pastor Dr. McCrae, I'm the pastor
of the greater Union.
Baptist Church 1956, West Warren Boulevard.
We are.
So grateful for the landmark status, that was conferred
upon.
The church by the city of Chicago.
A church.
designed by the
uh, reputed father of skyscrapers, William, Baron jenney
Uh, church that has been socially active.
Uh, when it was first inhabited by the Church of the
Redeemer,
And then by greater Union, Baptist Church.
We're grateful.
Uh, to the adopt a landmark.
Uh, folk and the department of planning.
For the uh, gracious Grant.
That has been given.
For the restoration of the exterior.
Of Greater Union. Baptist Church.
We?
Again, are thankful.
and we trust,
Uh, that these funds will go a long way.
And that greater Union might prove the city.
Proud because of this Landmark status.
Thank you very much.
Thank. Thank you. Pastor McCrae.
Jasmine.
Jasmine severe.
Yes, it's tasnim tanveer. Tasnim tasnim, thank you.
Hello. Uh my name is tasnim tanveer. I lived in River North
North for about 8 years with my husband. Um, and 1 of our
favorite walks has always been to Oldtown. Um, we love
dining there. We love shopping there. Um,
It's a, it's our favorite neighborhood and we still go
there. Even now as what uh we live in the West Loop.
Um and as you know, that decade has gone on. It's been
to see you know different shops moving in um new
restaurants, a lot of people on the streets.
it's been great, it feels like every time we go back,
there's something new, something exciting for us to to see
um and so that's why I'm here today is to, to speak in
support of the Old Town, canvas development at 16. Uh 01
North walls um because I want to see that Trend continue um
It just feels so much more safe. Every time we go, it feels
more lively and I'm really excited to see, um, the gas
station and the the vacant. Um, Treasure Island. Be turned
into something thriving. I want to see, um, more residents
to be able to support the businesses in Oldtown that we
love.
um,
I'm really, really excited that there's a new grocery
store. Um, I'm always happy to see new grocery stores and
neighborhoods.
um it's particularly important to me because uh my parents,
they were immigrants and they came to this country and uh,
Raised my brother, in an apartment. Um, they rented for
quite some time.
and,
It took them a while to get to a driver's license, it took
them a while to purchase a home.
Um,
but like many others in my community, you know, they it was
really important to them to um, be able to save up enough.
Be able to rent in a place with a good school district. And
that is Oldtown. It's a lovely place. Um, for people to
rent to, to raise families, you know, renters raise
families, renters, save up and then perhaps can buy a home
and I'm excited to see this uh, this
New, um, slew of affordable housing, uh, coming in, um, as
well as market rate.
Um,
I urge you to approve this matter without delay.
Because everything is going to get more expensive.
The housing construction costs are going to rise and the
longer. We wait on approving. This development and any
other housing developments, the more expensive that those
developments are going to be and then no 1 can truly afford
to live and no 1 can truly afford to build up their wealth,
uh, and live the kind of Life. They want to live
Um so please I uh prove this Housing Development. Thank you.
Mr. John Bosa.
then um,
Breval Grossi proceed, Mr. Bosa.

support, uh, for the landmark designation of 79 Westman
Row, the Rector building, this is a a property. We've
supported a previous meetings of the commission on Chicago
landmarks.
And we are likewise supportive of the planned, adaptive
reuse of this property, uh, 1 of us Suite of planned office
to residential conversions along the lassal street
Corridor, our executive director word Miller has been in
regular contact with the stakeholders of these projects and
has testified multiple times in support uh in particular of
of this 1 before you today, 79 West Monroe. Uh, we do hope
that the iconic weather Belle can be restored, which I, I
believe has been discussed at previous meetings. And, uh,
this is the somewhat romantic requests that we've
previously made, but may not be possible at this time, but
if there is an opportunity to address restoration at the
Upper Floor,
Floors. Uh particularly once Grand. Cornice that was there
we do appreciate that consideration, understand. It may not
be available uh to be pursued, right? This moment and with

Oh okay. Um also we like to uh the next next and last
speaker is Nancy can canana.
Good morning to all.
I'm here representing, um, the residents of 1600, 1700 South
Carpenter Street, um, and I am strongly urging Alderman,
Brian, Churchill Lopez, and the zoning committee to reject
reject. The zoning Amendment for 1614 South Carpenter.
There are means to accomplish the same scope of the
subcontinent work which we are, uh, without adversely
affecting the community. We are objecting to the B21
zoning, which allows for retail storefronts Apartments
the ground floor intended to Spur development in commercial
corridors with low demand for retail. I asked that the
application be deferred for public input. Pursuant to the
number of residents objected, I did forward to the
alderman. An additional 49 residents that have objected to
this. We have been told different stories of What the
residents are going to be doing. It is a resident area. I
have been there for 30 years. Also my PE
Peers have been there for 30 plus years and to all of a
sudden, have a new development to change the Zoning for
supposedly. Uh they're going to be making a deck. We are
fine with the new residents that want to move in. But how
are they saying, changing the zoning in a resident area to
allow the opportunity to be changed to business. So what
I'm asking is for the ultimate to hear the community, not
only me,
But here the 49 additional names that I provided and I do
want to thank you for the meeting that you had with me
Alderman. But you know, the issues are not resolved and
there are 49 applicants just on my block that are objecting
this. So, I'm asking, why do you not want to hear us? Why
are you not willing to come to the table? Not just with me.
Don't worry about my counsel. My counsel is there for all
the damages that the new person put in and you are very
aware of all the damages. That's not what I'm here for. I'm
here about the zoning. Why do you not want to hear my cop?
My neighbors. And me about this.
Thank you for your time. I appreciate it.
Uh, and I'm sure the aldermen will address this when it
comes up before us. Um we will now move on to the agenda
top of page 1, the historical landmark designation of the
director Building located at 79 West Monroe Street in the
34th Ward we have
Al.
Tuppy here of the historic preservation division of the
Department of Planning and Development to present this
matter.

Thank you very much. Uh, good presentation. If there's no
questions. Oh, I'm sorry, Alderman, Conway, would you like
to say something?
Sure. Yeah. I well I would only say this that uh thank you
for that. Excellent presentation. I would just like to
reiterate what a hugely important project. This is for the
city of Chicago. It is the really the first project in the
LaSalle Street Loop revitalization project. Uh and it is
really helping us rebuild downtown Chicago. After a a
global pandemic and its and the project is running in
parallel with the Google Thompson Center. So it's going to
bring online much-needed housing at a time when it's really
much needed. And I and I certainly want to thank the
mayor's office for pushing this forward. Sometimes, I'm
quick to criticize the mayor's office in this moment in
time. I'm very quick to praise them for, for pushing this.
Uh, I also want to thank the department of planning and
development and certainly want to thank the commission on
on Chicago landmarks for for your thorough presentation. So
I uh, based on that, I I would very much appreciate if you
could all support it. Thank you. Bye mayor.
Chairman Alderman, whatever project, whatever, whatever
title you prefer.
Thank, thank you. Uh sir. Um,
And and I also would like to commend the department of
planning and landmarks for all the great work that they're
doing. If there's no questions back committee members, do I
hear a motion uh, do pass?
so moved by Alderman Mosley uh all in favor signify by
saying I I those opposed any opinion of the chair, the eyes
have it,
so now, um,
I got to give you my other Title Here. Uh,
Moving on, we have 2 adopt a landmark. Grant funding
agreements at this time, I will recuse myself under the
provisions of rule, 14 out of an abundance of caution.
For a document number zero is it zero or oh 02025 Dash.
0001553 9 for the First Baptist, Congregational Church of
Chicago. As I am a deacon at that church. Therefore, I am
going to as Vice chair Larson to share this item. Thank
you. That's my other title.
All right, good morning everyone. Um, thank you. Deacon,
Bernett. Uh we have document number. Oh 2025 0001553 n the
adopt a landmark, grant funding agreement, with First
Baptist, Congregational Church of Chicago for preservation
work at 1613 West Washington Boulevard 60 North Ashland
Avenue. We have Daniel klyber here of the historic
preservation division of the Department of Planning and
Development to present.
Good morning danber with the Department of planning. I am
here with an adopted Landmark Grant project from dpd's 2023
funding round. The First Baptist Congregational Church has
finalized the budget and scope for this project. The church
is requesting 1,464,000 in adopt, The Landmark funds for
exterior, masonry and Roofing, work to the building's Bell
Tower, and steeple, this was approved by the landmarks
Commission. In December of 2024 for orientation. The
subject building is located at the southwest corner of West
Washington Boulevard and North Ashland Avenue within the
near West Side Community area and the 27th Ward.
Next slide.
For a little background. Although the edifice of the First
Congregational Church was built in 1869, the congregation
itself dates back to 1851 at that time. A group of 48
abolitionist members left their parent Church. Third
Presbyterian over the slavery issue. The departing members
felt that the church had not adopted a strong enough
position against slavery, and they formed a new
congregation. In addition to housing worship Services. The
new church was used as a way station in the Underground.
Railroad for escaping slaves, originally known as Union
Park. Congregational, the building's outer wall is faced
with Lamont, limestone a material like that used for the
water tower and a popular for churches at the time. At the
northeast, corner of the building is arguably, the
building's most striking feature, a 200 foot tall Bell
Tower and steeple. The building was designated a Chicago
landmark in 1982.
As for the next slide, please.
As for the proposed project, the adopt, The Landmark scope
of work is focused on priority. 1 work identified by whis
Chaney elsner Associates in 2022.
Um and I won't go through all of the scope but um in in
summary it includes 3 main components. The first is masonry
work on the tower, um, removal of the stone louvers at The
Belfry and their replacement with new stone removal and
reinstallation of the 16 vertical, Stone units at the Bell,
Tower buttresses
Other work includes removal and reinstallation of the 3
round windows at the Bell. Tower with new stainless steel,
anchorages and perimeter detailing to create a watertight
condition. And the final portion of the scope addresses,
the steeple, the work there includes replacement of the
Slate Roofing at the steeple with synthetic or natural
slate, including replacement or reinstallation of the
copper flashing and trim.
And that concludes uh my presentation, I do have a support
letter from all the men Bernett.
and if you have any questions I am here,
Great. Uh, do we have any questions by committee members?
Uh, Cher doll?
Yes, thank you. This is a beautiful 1 of the beautiful
landmark in the city of Chicago. Um, glad to see that it's
getting some attention. Just wanted to add the, uh, ask the
landmarks
The adopt a landmark grant program.
Does that provide for certain percentage of the development
cost or is that just, uh, flexible decision made by the
department in terms of how much money is.
Mark for this project.
It Alderman, it is it is flexible. Um we we have a funding
funding rounds, periodically. Um, and then, we evaluate
applications based on a set of criteria um and um 1 of the
of the criteria would be to have a little bit of Leverage
in a particular project, in this particular case, um, the
the grant award actually is the total project, uh, costs.
we still felt that it met um, multiple of the other
criteria. So this is 100%. That's correct cost. All right.
And when's the next funding round?
is that we hope to have a funding round this year in 2025,
We're evaluating that. Um, right now as we speak with the
with the funds that are available still, all right, thank
you very much, I'll just follow up on that. Adopt a
landmark is funded by what what by The Neighbourhood
opportunity bonus. Um so when when when developers come you
know in in the downtown district to to to build additional
f r or height 10% of those funds, go to the adopt, The
Landmark fund. You know, the the big Lion Share goes, um,
to the neighborhood opportunity fund, we get the 10%. So
that's where this money comes from. So, if we want to build
this fund, we have to build more density downtown.
Yeah. Well I contribute to the fund too. I I do represent a
portion of the South Loop Community which has high density.
So I I'm just wanting to know how
You guys make your decisions about funding. Thank you,
great. Thank you. Any other questions by committee members?
Uh, seeing none. Uh, all the women down makes a motion to

For a little background. Greater Union Baptist Church is a
massively scaled and well-proportioned Brick Church with
distinct. Terracotta details occupying, a prominent
position at its intersection. It is. 1 of 3, surviving
churches, designed by William LeBaron jenney an architect
of national significance. While an excellent example of the
Romanesque Revival style of architecture. The design also
reflects Jenny's design philosophy through its strong
massing restrained ornament and functional interior plan
built in 1886 by a Universalist Congregation named Church
of the Redeemer in 1928. The building was bought by an
established black Baptist congregation and Rec Christen as
greater Union Baptist, which has maintained it as a place
of worship and vital Community sustenance for nearly a
century. Uh, this building was designated as a Chicago
landmark in 2023.
Next slide, please.
As for the proposed uh Project work. Uh, the adopted
Landmark work is focused. Uh, I'm priority, 1 work

So is is fitting that we preserve this church. Um in in the
the area where there's going to be a lot of other
development happening around it. So I, I want to thank the

these forward. I feel like you already answered this
this question, but the church in, question is outside of
the bounds of the PD for 1901, does that as accurate.

on the corner of Halsted Street and Aldine um it is a
is a Transit served location and is also located on a
segment of Hollister Street, which is a pedestrian street
not too far from the lakefront. Um, the reason we are here
today, seeking this zoning map Amendment with the
supplemental. Um, administrative relief, is in order to
construct, a new 6-story with basement, um, Hotel, mixed
use complex for the neighborhood that will feature a, um,
51 bedroom, or sorry, 51. Guest room boutique hotel with a
restaurant on the ground floor and a new Speak. Easy Lounge
will be located in the basement. Um, both of those is
Establishments will be available for guests of the hotel as
well as to the general public and the neighborhood
residents of the neighborhood. Um, as another feature of
this unique hotel, there is a proposed roof deck, um, which
which will have an inside lounge and interior Lounge the
that you see, on the image, um, above is an outdoor,
amenity deck, um, that will feature Cabanas, a outdoor
swimming pool. Um, again, in light of its location here in
the windy city, uh, and our temperamental Seasons, the roof
will close in the entirety, um, to allow for use and
enjoyment in the colder months. Um, with that due to um,
and with the health of our esteemed, Alder person, we were
able to engage in a very robust, um, Community engagement
period. Um,
Which included meetings and presentations um, and ongoing
collaboration with the heart of Lake View as well as the
north Hallstead business Alliance and the lake view, East
Chamber of Commerce. We've also had meetings with um,
Alderman Lawson and the adjacent homeowners associations
and condo owner associations. Um, and as a result of this
ongoing collaboration, which
Taken place over the past several months. Um, we've also
drafted and executed a good neighbor agreement. Um, that
covers a lot of the concerns that were vetted and
discussed, um, throughout the community review period, as
well as the operating procedures for the hotel along, with
the supplemental uses, um, the restaurant and the lounge.
So that has been um, recorded with the property and it is
record with Alderman Lawson's office as well. Um, with
that, I'm happy to answer any questions and definitely
yield the floor to Alderman Lawson for
Any further color?
Is, is there any uh, any questions about the committee?
I'll have 1 question. So Alderman. Larson. Did you? Uh,
encourage them to put their flag on the building? Did you?
Are you the 1 who had to put the flag? You know, that was
all that. Uh, now we have the rainbow flag on the crosswalk
right there. Okay. And we have them on the pylons right
there, too. So it it, you know, kind of goes with the the
street. Yeah. And the new bike racks and the new bike racks
are also right below. Lots of rainbows. Yeah. Right almond
Lawson right. Thank you, chair. Um, I'm really happy to
bring this to committee today. We've been talking about a
hotel on Hallstead for a very long time. Uh, we have 1 at
Wrigley, we've got a few on the lakefront. Um, I have the
top tourism neighborhood outside of downtown and uh, no
offense to my
Colleagues, I want them to spend their entire day in my
ward.
Eat sleep, drink be entertained. Um, you could do it all in
44 and especially here on Hallstead. And so, um, I want to
thank the the development team, the owners of this who are
local, that makes a huge difference. Hallstead has always
been made up of local business owners, not some guys from
LA or New York, that come in and buy things up. These guys
are here every day, um, and that makes a real difference
and gives us a lot of confidence with the project like
this. Um, you know, I would say we had a robust Community
process, um, with our Chambers, with our neighbor, with our
very immediate neighbors, and put together an agreement
that gives everyone some confidence that if there's any
issues, we can all work together, um, to solve them. So,
um, thank you for, uh, to the team and chair. I asked my
colleagues, uh, support. Thank you, thank you. Thank you
very much. Um, Vice chair. Um, if there's no further
questions back committee members, do I hear a motion do

Good morning. My name is Humana Castro. I am a partner at

who sadly cannot be here due to a hip surgery, but I will
do my best to cover for him and get this passed.
uh, the property in question is, uh, as you correctly,
mentioned located on Lincoln Avenue and winners. From a b23
type 1 to a b23 type 1 in order to reduce 1 load and 1
parking space. The subject property is at the South what
east corner of Winn and Lincoln it is an irregular shaped
parcel
and it is TSL to the Western Brown Line station and the
Western and Lincoln Avenue bus lines.
if it was previously resand to a b23 type 1 2, a b23 type 1
and February 2024 to reflect after a thorough Community
process under Alderman vasquez's guidance. It revised
development program for a 5 story, 47 unit, building with
15 parking spaces. There will be 9 affordable parking
spaces on site.
during the permit process for the development, it was
determined that the loading birth. Within the building did
not meet the zoning ordinance, access standards. And also
the additional interior space was needed to accommodate a
ComEd Transformer.
The current rezoning seeks 2 variations to waive the 1
required loading birth. And to further, reduce the on-site
parking under TSL provisions of the zoning ordinance.
The project previously received approval as part of the
February 2024, rezoning for 4 variations that are still
needed for the project as follows.
A variation to reduce the rear yard setback on residential
floors from 30 feet to 5 feet,
To reduce the transparency requirement under the
pedestrian, street regulations.
To increase the building height from 75 ft to 7, 5. 6.
Supports the current resoning request and we seek favorable
consideration from the committee.

Washington Chicago,
And, uh, I'm representing the applicant STX construction
and plumbing Inc. In this prop proposed resoning from the
existing rs2 to an RS3 District very simply, this is an
existing vacant lot. However uh previously it was improved
with an older uh 100 100 year old frame single family home
which was uh demolished begging 2023. Due to some
structural issues. And this is kind of a unique situation
because we do have a separate zoning lot, but this separate
zoning lot is not a buildable lot because once that single
family home was demolished the legal non-conforming status
of that L was sort of wiped out. We have only 3,900 square
foot. Uh, Lots. So this is less than the minimum 5,000
required under ours, to District. So the only way in order
to make this lab buildable is to rezone it to an RS3. So
that's what we're asking for the application.
Is proposing to redevelop with a similar single family
house. Um, very much in conformance with whatever is
already on the Block. Uh, we did work with almonds pasado,
we discussed this with the neighbor's hopeful. You have his
uh, support letter on file. So we ask for your um, support
as well.
Thank you. Uh, are there any questions about the committee?
Uh, there's no further questions about the committee

Each lot with a new 3 story mixed use building each building
building will have a commercial use on the ground floor and
a dwelling units above. Now the building at, um,
6945. We are resoning to a B3 D2 because the proposed

going to be a, a nice Branch Restaurant with incidental,
liquor license. Hence the B3 District, uh, the other

hence, the B2 Dash to the district. Uh, this property will
generate uh, 2 are on-site units. Um, the subject property
is also Transit served location. It is located less than
600 feet from uh Montclair West Metro station. So in
compliance with the new Provisions. Uh, 17-3 030308, each
building will provide 4 parking spaces. Um, since this
property is not located along the pedestrian street. The

administrative adjustment from the transparency window
standards. We are proposing with this design. 58% uh which
is reduced from the 60%. Hence the, um, adjustment. We have
worked with Alderman viegas and his wonderful staff to

type 1 resoning to ensure that the plans, uh, and that the
project is redeveloped exactly as it was represented today.
Um, so this project not only will bring um additional

Um, number 22581 25th, Ward ordinance, referred 10924,
common address, 1614, South, Carpenter, Street, change,
requests, rt4 residential 2, flat townhouse, townhouse and
multi-unit, District 2, a B2 D1, mixed-use, District,
uh,
counselor.
Thank you.
Thank you very much for the record. My name is humanic
Castro. I'm a partner at Costa Edgar
Here today to represent the applicant for the property
located at 1614 South Carpenter.
The property is zoned rt4 and we're seeking to rezone it to
a b District in order the type 1 uh resoning in order to uh
uh allow for the Decon conversion of the property to a
single family home because currently rt4
Does not allow single family homes.
Over here.
Um, and to be clear, it's going to be resumed to a B21.
Uh, and at this time, I also like to State for the record
that the application is amended to be a type 1 to reflect
and lock in the single family home plans for this proposed
site.
If I can ask for the application to be amended to, to be a
type 1.
Sure. Um,
And vice chair Larson, um, moves to amend the application
to a type 1 application, all in favor. Signify by saying,
I, I all oppose independent of the charity. I have it. The
application is amended to a type 1 application.
Record chairman and members of the committee. Um, as I
previously just stated the rt4 zoning District does not
allow a deconversion to a single family home um and
precisely uh amending this to be a type 1 ensures that the
single family home is what is going to be billed at the
subject site.
Currently the property is improved with the 2-story
building with 2 units. It is vacant and has acred
approximately 20 years of building violations.
Uh, there is no parking on site. Currently, the property is
also etod to the Hall Street Street. Metro
We're seeking to rezone the property from an r24 to a B21
to Decon convert. As I stated multiple times from uh, the
current uh, 2 flat to a single family, home with a proposed
detached 2-car garage. We're also seeking a 2-story rear
addition,
and at this time, through this application, we are seeking
optional, uh, variations as follows
To reduce the setback for the existing, uh, front setback
008 ft. It's the existing setback. And these setbacks, for
the record are being triggered because of the rear addition
to the property, which is required the rest of the existing
building to come into compliance with the B zoning.
Second, we're seeking to reduce the north side. Setback to
the existing 0.545 ft.
We're also seeking to reduce the Southside setback to the
existing 0.20 ft. And we're seeking to reduce the combined
side are set back to the existing points. 65 ft.
In addition, we're also seeking an optional administrative
adjustment.
To increase parking for etod locations to 100%. So, the
house can have 2 total parking spaces currently under
single family home. Only 1 parking space would be required
because we are etod. In order to allow for 2 parking
spaces, we need to increase parking under that section to 2
spaces.
We have undergone many months of community uh conversations
and uh Outreach with the Alderman's office. And we are uh
here today to ask for a fable with consideration from this
Committee in order uh for this item to be passed.
Are there. Uh, any questions about a committee? I know
Alderman Lopez seicho Lopez. I'm I'm sorry.
Alderman, if I could also State, um, the
Particular family, that will be living here on site. Uh, is
a young soon to be married couple, uh, the the soon to be
husband, uh, has lived in pilson. His whole life. His
family has lived in pilson for approximately 50 years down
the block.
And uh, due to the extensive Renovations needed for this
particular site.
Should a developer have purchased this site, they could
have turned around and renovated. This particular building
to be either a condominiums that would sell for many many,
many, many dollars, or to have really high income, uh,
rental units.
We think that a single family home that will be providing
housing to a pillson family.
Uh, is the best resolution for this particular site and
will ensure that a pilson family stays in pilson and that
the subject property is renovated.
To maintain its beauty and characteristic of the block.
Thank you. Thank you. Alderman sio Lopez.
Thank you. Uh, chairman Bernett and thank you. Um, him and
also want to thank um um Miss kintana, who came to here to
to testify an objection to to this item. As um, as the
applicant has mentioned, they have been waiting for these
um,
This ordinance in uh October last year. So it's been 5
months, this is not and I just want for the record
re-emphasize and we don't a lot of Outreach in the
community to make sure that people know that this is not a
commercial um use Amendment. This is a type 1 that will
lock in the use as a single family home. This building has
had like the like the attorney mentioned violations for
over 20 years. Um and and we've been trying to address some
concerns from some of the nearby neighbors, especially
around some damages that were done with the properties in
the past or office has always and will continue always to
bring communities together and neighbors together for a
proposal, that is a mutual benefit and agreement. The
regional objection was around seeking compensation for such
damages, we have, um, we have allowed for more time in
February.
Every, uh, 26, the attorneys discuss. The applicant has been
more than happy to address and to compensate for any
potential damages, but to handcuff an application for a
single family, home for a local resident, um, to me is
beyond the scope of the, of the request to this Committee.
Of course, we know will urge the um,
Uh the neighbors to continue to the dialogue, but in terms
of this particular type 1 amendment, I do think is in line
with what we want to do in our neighborhood is a single
family home with an addition and I don't think that has any
deleterious effects to our community. I do want to, um, ask
that the neighbors continue to engage through their
attorneys to address any disputes in a way. That is not
harming each other but rather to help the neighborhood in
very difficult times. This is a, a simple request. I think
that for us to have a single family home that has been
vacant and to be able to work out with the neighbors so
that they can address the um, the damages to the property.
It is within our scope beyond that. I think that to say
that this is uh bringing a commercial uh, Zone to the
neighborhood.
It just simply not true. So I want to I want to reemphasize
that point. I want to thank for the patients. I do think
that for us to keep with the fair last time, just for the
sake of uh the parties to come to an agreement. But this on
the sake of of, of honesty and what we want to do, or the
neighborhood, I urge the parties to address the, um,
whatever dispute it is left internally without much more
more conflict, that only tear us apart. And that's with
that. I would like an urge the, uh, Council and the members
of the zoning committee for a favorable support on this
item.
Thank you. Vice chair Larson.
Thank you, sir. I just wanted to ask a question, so, um,
uh, I have a lot of single families being built on R4
zones. Um, this is part of a, a preservation area or what's
different here than than correct where I'm at, correct.
Okay, so we we have to in order to Decon convert this from
a 2 flat to a single family home. We need to rezone it to a
b District so we're resoning it to a B21.
okay, but the, the purpose of the
Overlay is to disallow single family. Generally correct?
Right without going through a process or or zoning. Okay.
Are we seeing a lot of these in the overlay Zone?
Okay, couple couple 2 3. All right, all right. Great, thank
you share. Thank you.
Okay, thank you. Um,
Yes, Alderman. Spa.
Sorry.
I also, like I want to lean into the point that
Ottoman, Lawson vases because I'm not, I'm not.
Here to today, to object to the zoning change. I want
people to have safe and healthy.
Housing in their communities and I hear what you're getting
at.
But we're we're seeing this.
More and more with the B2 dish 1's.
and I think,
if there's a world where the committee needs to think
about,
Why we're not seeing people? Simply take advantage of rs-3.
If there's a need for expanded, f r for rs-3 and
preservation areas, let's have that conversation because to
see the use of B21
In my opinion, to get around the spirit of the connected
communities ordinance.
That is something that doesn't sit right with me.
I'm not going to lean into that fully today but I feel like
like that is a policy discussion that we should be. Having
said my piece. Thank you Alderman and and I do want to
recognize how you've been championing, um, equitability and
the City of Chicago. And I think this is a larger
conversation that needs to be had in order to make sure
that people can uh, you know, Decon convert without having
to spend thousands of dollars. So thank you.
Okay. Um,
So that's a bigger discussion because I think different
things are going on in different Wards in relationship to
that. But, uh, so, uh, Alderman, Dow, if there's no further
question, oh, Alderman Dow. Go ahead. Yeah, I just wanted
to ask if the department of Planning and Development
aligned on this and also, um, Patrick you used to prepare a
sheet that had all of the dpd recommendations on it and I
haven't seen that in a while, can we?
It's not part of this package. Okay, at least today. Uh, so
I'd like to know um, if we can start to get those back
again, did we used to do that in zoning or planning know?
It wasn't zoning right? So Patrick Murphy with the
Department of planning. So we do send around the
recommendations. It's it's in a separate email that goes to
all of the ward offices, prior to this hearing I'll double
check to make sure that
I you should have received it but I will double check after
this meeting, uh, and then specific to this item. Uh, there
was a city council approved overlay that was designed to
specifically, address the loss of multi-unit, housing in
both the general 606 area of which a geography was then uh,
recently expanded by city council to include a much larger
portion of the north and Northwest side of the city.
And then a similar although slightly different because of
the zoning districts and some of the specifics of the
pilson neighborhood. Uh a similar overlay with the same.
General intent was created for that area of the city.
overall, uh, the idea behind both was to preserve
multi-unit, housing, uh, create
uh, very
uh, uh,
I I wouldn't say very high but very definitive thresholds.
Under which if a if a block does not meet certain
characteristics then a conversion or deconversion I should
say. In this case can take place or the newly establishment
of a single family home could take place. Uh, like I was
saying there were different thresholds for the different
overlays because there are different zoning characteristics
and block characteristics for both of those geographies.
Uh, but because of that rule that exists in the zoning
code, we did recommend against this, uh, map Amendment.
Thank you.
Okay, are there any other questions?
And there's no part of the questions about committee
members.
Alderman, Kent moved to pass all in favor. Signify by
saying I, I all oppose and the opinion of the chair, the
eyes have it. Thank you very much.

Street change requests, an rt4 residential 2, flat

multi-unit District. Uh, the attorney is Mark, kupc Mr.
Chairman members of the committee or Mr. Vice, chairman
members of the committee. Um, Mark kupc represent the
applicant in this case Walter and his wife Nancy, uh, for
the property at 1819 South Main Street,
This lot which is a short substandard lot. This lot is
improved with an old 1 story brick building at the rear of
the property and an old 2 story frame building at the front
of the property. Uh the front building has 2 apartments and
actually that rear building has 1 apartment and it's been
used as 3 apartments for many, many years. Uh, most
recently when a close look was taken at, it could not find
a permit record for the conversion of the rear building to
an apartment. So the is only change would allow them to
establish a
Permit record for that rear building and to continue to use
the property as 3 units. Uh, we participate with the
Alderman's uh, uh, Community process, went before his
advisory committee, followed up with staff and asked him
for his support.
Great. Uh, any questions by committee members
Uh, is this in an Adu pilot Zone? Would that have applied?
If if it was
Uh, it's not okay. Great. Um, seeing no questions, all of
them in the spot. I'm was to pass all in favor say I any

Change requests, C12 neighborhood commercial District to be
23 neighborhood, mixed juice District. Uh please state your
name for the record and proceed. Sure. Uh, my name is
Michael Keisha, hofskirkja.
So I originally took this project to Alderman sigil Lopez
back in September so I met with him and got his support for
it and then I met also with their Community zoning board.
back in October of last year and they were on board with
the program. So I think they the 25th Ward stepped out uh
currently. But essentially what we're looking to do here is
nothing is changing to the exterior. We're just allowing
for the existing density at p, uh, per the C12 zoning,
you're required to have a commercial space on the first
floor. It's part of that little village area where the
first floor is sunken and there never was a commercial
space. So a rezoning to b23 would just allow it to be
legally, um, rehabbed as it currently exists into 6. Um, 6
Apartments, which I think is also appropriate due to it
being right next to the CTA station. So you all get rid of
50% of the parking requirements.
Great nice work. Any questions by committee members?
Um, he loves the rehab, so all them and laspata moves to
pass all in favor. Say, I, I, I, I, I I thank you. All
