The Chicago Plan Commission considered a proposed Residential Planned Development at 5853 N. Broadway in the Edgewater neighborhood, 48th Ward. Submitted by Bickerdike Redevelopment Corporation, the project involves rezoning the property from B1-2 (Neighborhood Shopping District) to B2-5 (Neighborhood Mixed Use District) prior to establishing a Residential Planned Development. The proposal includes the construction of an 11-story high-rise residential building, not exceeding 128 feet in height, with 90 residential dwelling units and 14 off-street parking spaces. All 90 units will be affordable: 85 for households earning less than 60% AMI and 5 for households earning less than 30% AMI, with referrals from All Chicago's "Moving On Units" program. The development emphasizes a pedestrian-friendly street front along Broadway Street, includes 90 bike racks, and offers direct access to the CTA Red Line and multiple bus routes. The maximum floor area ratio will be 5.0.
