(a) Intent. The South Michigan Avenue District is intended to implement the vision established by the City's Master Plan and the South Michigan Avenue Corridor Plan. The South Michigan Avenue Area Form Based District allows for the consolidation and creative redevelopment of parcels to develop a building pattern set close to the street along South Michigan Avenue. Though the existing built-out pattern is established with buildings set back from the street, redevelopment within the South Michigan Avenue Form Based District shall coordinate site design with adjoining sites to take advantage of buildings placed at the street, shared access and parking, similar perimeter landscape themes, or similar features.
Development of buildings and sites, including retrofitting and redevelopment of existing sites and buildings, can include residential, retail, office, service, and light industrial uses. Uses designed to support the residents and local workers are also encouraged, such as mixed-use developments with small scale retail or restaurant uses incorporated with housing units. The redeveloped Corridor will help diversify the City's housing and commercial stock, and incorporate architecturally interesting buildings.
Consolidation of parcels in the District is encouraged in order to provide for a quality and consistent development patterns. Incentives include additional building forms and more permitted uses.
