The application seeks to amend Residential-Business Planned Development No. 1067 to allow for additional uses within Subarea B of the existing mixed-use development. Specifically, the proposal involves renovating an approximately 7,500 SF ground floor retail space at the northwest corner of S. Blue Island Ave. and W. 14th Place to include a wine and spirits store, tavern, and outdoor patio. The existing development consists of a seven-story, 202-dwelling unit building with ground floor retail in Subarea A and a one-story retail building with a rooftop pool and amenity deck in Subarea B. No changes to the existing dwelling units or building structure are proposed. Previous minor changes to the PD include design revisions and parking reductions in 2019, a floor area transfer in December 2019, and landscape planter modifications in 2021. This document details a proposed amendment, and the stated application filing and hearing dates (May 2025, June 2025) are in the future. The 'When' field reflects the date of the most recent past minor amendment to this Planned Development, as per instructions to avoid future dates for 'When' while still producing an output for the application.
