ZBA approves variances at 3341 N. Sheffield

The Zoning Board of Appeals has approved a set of variances for a residential development at 3341 N. Sheffield. Planned by 3335-57 N. Sheffield LLC, the project site is a midblock site south of W. Roscoe St. A demolition permit is pending for the existing two-story masonry building on the site.

Designed by MC & Associates LLC, the new construction will be a four-story masonry building that will include a basement. With eight units in the building, there will be two four-bed duplex downs on the ground floor and basement. The remaining six units will be two-bed simplexes on the second through fourth floors. The duplexes are expected to rent for $5,500/month and the simplexes will rent for $4,100/month. Residents will have access to a shared rooftop deck and four parking spaces at the back of the site.

Approved by the ZBA, the development received a variation to reduce the rear setback from the required 27.74' to 17.75' and a variation to reduce the rear yard open space from the required 288 square feet to 239 square feet.

With approvals secured, the $4.1 million development can move forward with permitting and construction. A full building permit for the development has been filed and is awaiting issuance.
