Elmhurst Zoning and Planning Commission members closed their public hearing on a proposal for a nine-story condominium building to go up on a site on North York Street across from City Hall with rebuttals to objections from the developer’s attorney.
The project, The Residences at 200 North York, calls for 28 luxury condominiums on seven residential floors over two floors of above ground indoor parking. The site now holds an outdated two-story commercial building and a small bungalow, both vacant.— rebutting some of the objections which have been raised by interested parties, many of them residents of the Elmhurst One95 condominium, which sits on Addison Avenue directly across the alley and west of the proposed site.
By way of rebuttal, Day cited chapter and verse — literally — of Elmhurst’s 2016 Downtown Plan, a document he said clearly calls for the tallest buildings in the city’s Central Business Core. The proposed 200 North project sits in the heart of that core, where Day said building heights up to 125 feet are allowed by conditional use.
As part of the height discussion, Day spoke about the shadows that will be cast by the new building, particularly shadows to be cast on the One95 building. Day noted that the north face of the One95 building is in shadow most of the day, but that apparently didn’t deter sales of condos on that side of the building, condos which sold for more than $1 million.
