BACKGROUND:
PROPERTY CHARACTERISTICS
The subject site in its entirety is currently approximately 19.5 acres. The lot prior to approval of a pending subdivision (in a concurrent, related case) is split zoned: It is zoned CG (General Commercial) on the south, R3 (Single Family Residential) in the center, and I2 (Railroad/Industrial) to the northeast.
The Illinois River borders the parcel to the southeast. Continued along the river, southwest of the parcel, is CG zoning, I3 (Heavy Industrial) and I2 (Railroad/Warehouse) zoning is to the north and west of the property; and I2 zoning is located to the northeast of the property.
In 1989, the subject parcel was rezoned from I4 (Heavy Industrial) to R1 (Low Density Residential).
From 1931 to 1963, the entire area, from Bond Street to the river was zoned K (Industrial).
PROPOSED USE
This case is directly related to case PZ 15-39, which is a request for a subdivision with waivers. The subdivision will create a new parcel on which the proposed multifamily plan will sit, approximately 5.8 acres in size. The remainder of the parcel will continue to be owned by the City, and partially contain right-of-way dedications.
