Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV23-046

APPLICANT: James W. Clarke; c/o Jack Las, Agent; 448 North LaSalle Drive; Chicago, IL 40654.

PROPOSED USE: Ground floor residential use.

UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

UNIVERSITY IMPACT DISTRICT REVIEW BOARD RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a variety of commercial buildings in the C-4, Commercial District, and is within the NC, Neighborhood Commercial subarea of the University District Zoning Overlay (UDZO). The applicant requests a Council variance for the building addressed as 2283 North High Street to allow a change of use from eating and drinking establishment to a single-unit dwelling. A Council variance is required because the C-4 district does not allow ground floor residential uses. The site is within the planning boundaries of the University District Plan (2015), which recommends “Neighborhood Mixed Use” at this location, consistent with the proposed request and overall development pattern along the North High Street corridor.
