The subject property is currently improved with a 2-story residential building with two dwelling units on the first and second floor, and a nonconforming dwelling unit in the basement. The owners of this owner-occupied property are requesting a zoning change to RT-4 from its current zoning of RT-3.5. They are requesting this change to comply with the standards and the bulk requirements of the RT4 District to build a third story addition to the existing building, which will be duplexed with the second-floor unit, and to allow the existing dwelling unit in the basement to continue, for a total of 3 dwelling units within the existing building. The property owners will preserve the existing building. This property has a substandard lot size (99 feet deep rather than the standard 125 feet), as it backs up to CTA tracks.
