The property at 1805 North Campbell is currently improved with a single-unit residence and is currently zoned for Limited Manufacturing / Business Park use (M1-1). This community process has taken two iterations: the first iteration featured four alternatives; the second iteration features a 4-story, 21-unit development, with 10 parking spaces.
- A 5-story building with 32 dwelling units and 9 parking spaces (6 affordable units)
- A 5-story building with 35 dwelling units and 0 parking spaces (7 affordable units)
- A 4-story building with 28 dwelling units and 9 parking spaces (6 affordable units)
- A 4-story building with 31 dwelling units and 0 parking spaces (6 affordable units)
Following the Community Meeting and Initial Electronic Feedback: Alderman La Spata and 1st Ward office provided feedback to the applicant, to provide a reduced building footprint (requiring no variances); to reduce the height to 4-stories; and to provide more parking (10 spaces). As a result, there are
updated floor plan concepts and an
updated zoning analysis.
Manufacturing Zoning Alternative: Without a zoning change, a M1-1 district could support a building that is approximately 10,500 square feet on this lot, with permitted uses (in addition to manufacturing & industrial uses) such as parks; post office and public safety buildings; animal services (kennels, etc.); business support services (ex., employment agencies); indoor urban farm; eating & drinking establishments and taverns; entertainment and spectator sports; financial services; food and beverage retail sales; medical service; office; personal services; residential storage warehouse; and retail sales; among others.
As previously noted on the 1st ward Zoning lot, in November 2022 an analyst contacted the Ward Office to discuss valuation of this site (
see "Lapsed cases, 2023" at the bottom of the webpage). It is the understanding of the 1st Ward Office that analysts did seriously consider manufacturing zoning alternatives for the site, such as neighborhood office space (perhaps for flex office use or small business / non-profit office use, etc.).
Rehabilitation of Single Unit Residence: Under M1-1 zoning, residential uses are not allowed, so it is unclear whether or how non-conforming zoning ordinances (
Chapter 17-15) would apply to a rehabilitation of the single unit residence. Therefore, it is assumed here that a single-unit residence would not be a feasible use on this lot, and that at best the existing single-unit residence could only exist as a non-conforming use that cannot be expanded (17-15-303-A and 17-15-303-B, as linked earlier in this paragraph).
