Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV18-051
APPLICANT: Northworks Architects and Planners; c/o Keith Labutta; 1512 North Throop Street; Chicago, IL 60642.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit residential development.
COLUMBUS SOUTH SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is undeveloped and zoned in the R-2F, Residential District. The requested Council variance will permit two single-unit dwellings on one lot. A Council variance is necessary because although the existing zoning district permits two dwelling units in one building, it does not permit two separate dwellings on one lot. In addition to the use variance, variances to lot area, fronting, maximum and minimum side yards, and rear yard are included in this request. The site is located within the boundaries of the South Side Plan (2014), which recommends “Medium-High Density” land uses at this location. Although the proposal has a higher density than the Plan’s recommendation, Planning Division Staff notes that the Plan provides for higher densities under certain conditions. In this case, the site’s proximity to Livingston Avenue, high-quality design, and compatibility with the surrounding area make the increased density supportable.
