The purpose and legislative intent of this chapter is to require new residential development to contribute its proportionate share of open space and recreational facilities which directly and materially benefit such development, or fees in lieu thereof, in order to ensure that adequate open space and recreational facilities are available to serve residents of such development.
(Added Coun. J. 4-1-98, p. 65269)
The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all new residential development and rehabilitation which results in the creation of additional dwelling units, except additional dwelling units for which a complete building permit application (with a complete set of drawings) was filed as of the date of passage of this chapter. Replacement housing which does not increase the existing number of dwelling units shall be exempt.
(Added Coun. J. 4-1-98, p. 65269)
Open space impact fees shall be calculated based on the following formula:
Fee = Open Space Need × Open Space Cost × Developer's Share where:
Open Space Need = Number of Dwelling Units × Estimated Household Size × Minimum Open Space Standard (2 acres per 1,000 people); and
Household Size is estimated to increase with the size of the dwelling unit as follows:
Size Of Unit (Square Feet) | Household Size (Persons) |
Less than 800 | 1 |
800 – 1,599 | 2 |
1,600 – 2,999 | 3 |
3,000 and up | 4 |
Open Space Cost = $12.00 per square foot; and
Developer's Share = 30 percent, except units which qualify as “affordable housing” which shall be charged a flat nominal fee regardless of size.
Affordable housing is defined as housing which is sold or rented at or below the maximum price or fair market rents established by the Chicago department of planning and development for the “City Lots for City Living” or “New Homes for Chicago” affordable housing programs. The above-stated maximum price or fair market rents may be modified by the department of planning and development from time to time.
