It's fine if you set the "ground floor" units a half-story above the street, over a raised slab or basement. But that still counts as "ground floor residential" under the zoning code. Or, you can step back the ground floor and create a buffer zone of private terraces.

Thanks for the pics! Not sure what site you use to host images but it’s loading them super slow today

Damn, Solar. You didn't miss a thing. Great update all around. That Madison +Carpenter project looks really nice.

There's a zoning app for 330 W Chestnut. It isn't online yet, but it's most likely for this project

Not a groundbreaking design but should be good for the surrounding area. Only 14 parking spaces!

^ Much better than what's there today, which is a makeshift surface parking area. That lot hasn't had a building on it for at least 15 years. I count 9 floors on this too - depending on the height, we could even be technically looking at a small high rise.

130 units - 14 parking spaces is true TOD, not the 200 units - 150 parking spaces TOD I be seeing in other parts of the city. This is good infill.

Talking about this area, what happened to the Cabrini redevelopment plan? Wasn't a bunch of highrises planned?

Not bad. Definitely looks better than that office building that was pitched there five or so years ago:

As you predicted, it's a small highrise. 125 ft despite being 9 stories.

So is "Englewood Connect" happening at all via those plans or is it now "evolved" fully into this Thrive Englewood?

Randomguy34 · #**50499** Posted **Apr 25, 2022, 10:45 PM**

The Englewood RFP had two sites: package B1/B2 and package C. Englewood Connect had to compete for package B1/B2. Thrive Englewood however was the only applicant for package C: https://www.chicago.gov/content/dam/...lewood_web.pdf

Zoning application for special use for a cannabis dispensary was filed on April 15 for 612 N Wells.

This is the spot of a previously proposed development

https://chicago.curbed.com/2018/2/15...nt-blanc-condo

So it does not look like it will be developed any time soon assuming a dispensary moves there.

Also there is a cannabis dispensary right around the corner on Ohio. I thought they had to be a certain distance from each other unless that one is closing/moving.
