The project involves the demolition of an existing gas station and the construction of a new gas station with six service pumps, a 3,476 square foot convenience store, and a 1,540 square foot restaurant space, which includes a 1,076 square foot Dunkin Donuts. The site, located in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood at 7138 North Sheridan Road and 1313 West Touhy Avenue, measures 19,274 square feet (0.44 acres). The applicant is seeking a special use permit to operate a gas station in a B2-3 district and a variation to allow the gas station on a lot containing 19,274 square feet, whereas the requirement is 20,000 square feet. The property's zoning has been changed to B3-2. The development aims to replace a substandard use with a modern urban design that aligns with the City of Chicago's goals.
