Minimum Parking Requirements in Downtown Chicago

[Glen Fernandes]

Current State: 2-unit (2-BR 1 BA each) with unfinished basement (egress and height requirements in place) in West Town

Rehab Goal: 3-unit (3-BR 1 BA each) 

Issue: A local architect mentioned that while the property was currently zoned to accommodate 3 units with 3 BR each, I would need to create 3 parking spaces in the rear. There is not enough space to accommodate 3 spaces (2 would be pushing it).

Are there any creative options around the parking spaces? (e.g. permit exceptions) As a side note, there are a multitude of CTA bus options in the same block.
