YUnder Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s direc-tion, the Department of Planning and Development (DPD) initiated a public review process in spring 2016 to evaluate and refine land use policies for continued growth and private investment in the City’s Industrial Corridor system.
This report memorializes the public outreach efforts that have taken place by documenting the informa-tion provided to interested parties, acknowledges the questions and general comments that staff heard during the meetings, and identifies ways in which participants can con-tinue to be informed and participate in the planning process.
MEETINGSCity staff from DPD and the Chica-go Department of Transportation (CDOT) held community meetings in three different locations in and around the North Branch Industrial Corridor in order to inform commu-nity stakeholders of the Mayor’s Industrial Corridor Modernization ini-tiative. Over 160 residents, business, and community leaders attended and participated in the three meet-ings:
• June 6, 2016 - UI Labs
• June 7, 2016 - St. John Cantius Church
• June 8, 2016 – Jesse White Community Center
SOCIAL MAPPING (SMAP)DPD is utilizing an innovative, cloud-based mapping tool to obtain community feedback. Until July 5, DPD will be accepting input via sMap for the North Branch planning area. Users can get started by creating an account at www.smapapp.com/chicago.
Participants can create their own custom map, or view and comment on maps others have created and shared in the sMap Gallery.
SOCIAL MEDIAThe slideshow and boards presented at the three meetings have been posted online at:
• DPD’s website: https://www.cityofchicago.org/dpd
• Medium.com: https://medium.com/@ChicagoDPD
• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chicagodpd
• Twitter: @ChicagoDPD
NEXT STEPSUsing input from sMap and other sources, DPD will develop a series of land-use scenarios and present them to the community in August. Those scenarios will be further refined based on community input, and they’ll also be used to help guide transportation studies, which will begin in Fall 2016.
The multi-year process will incor-porate market data, infrastructure assessments, financial planning, community input, and other criteria into framework plans that will serve to guide future public and private investments within the corridors. This process will ultimately result in a framework plan for the North Branch and other Industrial Corridors that will be used by the Chicago Plan Commission to evaluate develop-ment proposals and to inform deci-sions made for future development in and around the corridor.

YHow will the City handle the review of new development proposals submitted prior to the completion of this planning effort, i.e. a proposed redevelopment project for the Finkl site?
The City will review all proposed de-velopment projects in accordance with the process established in the zoning ordinance. The applicants will need to go through the existing, required public review processes before any approval or denial.
Should the businesses currently operat-ing within the North Branch Industrial Corridor be concerned about the city’s efforts?
The City acknowledges the import-ant role that the manufacturing and industrial businesses play within the North Branch Industrial Corridor. The city’s evaluation and eventual update of policies for the industrial corridor will certainly take these benefits into consideration. This process will potentially provide greater certainty regarding land uses within the indus-trial corridor.
What are the facts/data on jobs?
Staff has provided data and analysis of core jobs and employment trends within industrial corridors from 2002 to 2014 in this presentation. Data will continue to guide planning decisions in the future.
Will the plan have design standards?
Staff may recommend design stan-dards, particularly along the river edges and also for transportation network design.
What planning principles are being adhered to in the creation of this plan?
An important purpose of this outreach process is to develop and refine land use principles which will guide future growth in the area.
How will this be different from the current Clybourn PMD?
One objective of this initiative is to evaluate and update the entire in-dustrial corridor system, of which the Clybourn PMD is a part.
Why would businesses make improve-ments in the PMD’s if they are going to change?
This plan will provide greater certainty for property and business owners as it identifies potential adjacent land uses.
How is this plan different from CSI?
The CSI plan looked at manufacturing as a whole and made recommenda-tions for next steps, and this planning initiative is one of the next steps as recommended by the CSI plan, which will address land use.
What is the difference between land use planning and zoning?
A land use planning analysis evaluates the entire area including the industrial corridor system, and uses tools, such as zoning, to accomplish goals and objectives for a community.
What does the “vacant” designation on the existing land use map mean?
No active use on the property or in the building.
What is being done about transporta-tion issues?
A transportation study will be con-ducted for the area as part of this planning effort.
What is the end result of this process?
DPD will create a land use framework plan to inform and guide future zoning and land use proposals.
QUESTIONS ASKED:

MEETING SUM
MARY
• Facilitate the continued success of the businesses that operate within the North Branch Industrial Corridor, and study the impact any future land uses will have on jobs within this area.
• Minimize conflicts between existing manufacturing/industrial businesses and nearby residents.
• Improving, expanding, or updating manufacturing uses generally require high costs (i.e. purchasing new machinery, adding new products).
• Consider conducting a “traffic study” of this planning area to better understand the current traffic problems within the area, and to determine the impact of future land use changes. The information contained in the Halsted Triangle Plan should be reviewed during this process.
• Consider establishing a Transpor-tation Management Authority (TMA) to better facilitate trips within the corridor, and to ensure that future development pays its fair share of transportation upgrades.
• Seek ways to expand the bike trail network within this planning area.
• Engage Metra and CTA early in this planning process, since they have significant operations within this area.
• Modify, don’t remove, the existing PMD zoning.
• Consider that property prices are rapidly increasing in the area due in part to speculation, which discourages many start-up businesses who wish to locate in the area.
• Relocate residential properties on Elston Ave by Stanley’s to “clean-up” the industrial corridor using TIF funds.
• Recognize that several industrial businesses offer good paying career opportunities within the industrial corridor, including Ozinga (400 employees with a median wage of $70,000), and CH Robinson, who chose to locate in the area because of the PMD zoning regulations, have expanded to 1,000 jobs, and envision adding another 1,000 jobs.
• Consider that many businesses have located within the North Branch Industrial Corridor due to the ability to use barges for transportation on the North Branch Chicago River.
• Increase open spaces within the corridor, since existing open space in the area is minimal.
