Dwelling unit calculator
This location's zoning district is C1-2
- 15 dwelling units allowed
- This number doesn't consider ADU eligibility.
- It may be possible to add 1 unit to an existing building, regardless of ADU eligibility, with an Administrative Adjustment or Variation, per 17-13-1003-A and 17-13-1101-R, respectively. - 3 efficiency (studio) units can be built, in addition to 13 dwelling units (total of 16 units). The C1-2 zoning district allows up to 20% of total units to be efficiency (studio) units.
- 15 SRO units allowed
Limits on efficiency units do not apply to transit-served developments within 660 feet of a transit facility (station or selected bus corridor).
- Dwelling units: The parcel lot area is 15,139 sq.ft. x 2.2 FAR, making the max floor area 33,306 sq. ft. The minimum lot area per dwelling unit is 1,000 sq.ft.: 15,139/1,000 = 15 units
- Efficiency units: The maximum amount of efficiency units is 20%. The remainder, for dwelling units, is 80%. The blended minimum lot area (MLA) is 940 (700 x 20% + 1000 x 80%). The total number of units is 16 (area of 15,139/940 MLA). Lastly, the maximum number of efficiency units is 16 (total number of units) x 20% (maximum amount), or 3. The number of dwelling units allowed is 16 (total units) - 3 (efficiency units) = 13. (Per 17-1-0605-B, all fractional housing units are rounded down.) Note: A property in a B, C, or D zoning district and within 660 feet of a CTA or Metra station entrance or exit, or an eligible CTA or Pace bus corridor, has no maximum number of efficiency units standard.
- SRO units: The parcel lot area is 15,139 sq.ft. x 2.2 FAR, making the max floor area 33,306 sq. ft. The minimum lot area per SRO unit is 1,000 sq.ft.: 15,139/1,000 = 15 units (the Zoning Administrator will verify that these are bona fide SRO [single room occupancy] units)
These are automated estimates and not a guarantee. Lot size, height limit, and setbacks affect the number of buildable dwelling units; other factors and exemptions can affect these automated estimates. Some below grade space will not count against allowable floor area.

Parking requirements
The City of Chicago requires off-street car parking for nearly all buildings and developments, as well as new businesses. We have distilled the most important parking requirements for residential developments. Parking requirements for non-residential developments are too complex to be simplified here as they are based on the type and size of the business or development being proposed.
Parking notes
Parking requirements for developments with non-residential uses require a zoning assessment that's specific to the proposal. Contact us to order a customized zoning assessment.
Review the TOD Status below to determine if this location is eligible, based on its proximity to transit, to take advantage of a reduced off-street car parking requirement.
The Chicago Zoning Ordinance allows for off-site shared or cooperative parking for situations when off-street parking cannot be provided on the same property.

About the ARO 2021 changes
Chicago City Council adopted a revised Affordable Requirements Ordinance in April 2021, which is effective for entitlements obtained on or after October 1, 2021. Building permit applications for projects that obtained entitlement before October 1, 2021, have the ARO 2015 rules applied and have until October 1, 2025, to be submitted to stay under ARO 2015 rules.
ARO compliance is required for residential projects that receive a zoning change, TIF money, or city-owned land, and add or build 10 or more units.
All of Chicago is organized into one of five areas with different requirements (view full ARO 2021 map ):
- Pilsen & Little Village pilot area (expired at the end of 2023)
- Downtown area
- Inclusionary Areas
- Community Preservation Areas

House preservation area
This location is within a multi-family preservation area.
Chicago adopted two areas in February 2021 to inhibit teardowns and deconversions of 2-flats and 3-flats. These exist around the Bloomingdale Trail/606 and in part of Pilsen. Per MCC 2-44-135, the surcharge is in effect through December 31, 2029.
This location is in the Multi-Unit Preservation (Pilsen) District (map).
Generally in this pilot area, in zoning districts with an "RT-4" classification or higher, a minimum density of three units per property is required for redevelopment (depending on the lot size and zoning district's minimum lot area per unit standard). This also prohibits deconversions to a single-detached or two-flat. Read ordinance O2020-6207.
There is a surcharge for residential demolition permits issued in this area. Ordinance O2021-746 added 2-44-135 to the Municipal Code of Chicago and establishes surcharges of $15,000 for the demolition of a detached house, townhouse, or two-flat, and $5,000 per dwelling unit for the demolition of a multi-unit residential building (until December 1, 2024).
Fair Market Rent

TOD Status for 4 addresses, Chicago, IL
This section is designed for property owners, developers, and businesses to understand the benefits of the Chicago "Transit-Served Location" ordinance (also known as the TOD ordinance). Properties & storefronts in Chicago near train stations – CTA's rapid transit 'L' and Metra's commuter rail – and eligible bus corridors may be eligible for bonuses.
Resources from our Knowledge Base
4 addresses is possibly not TOD because:
- its zoning class is ineligible (C1-2)
- even though it's close enough to a train station entrance/exit or eligible bus corridor
The nearest eligible transit facility is 1,156 feet away (straight line).
Maximum distances & Pedestrian Street
show the maximum distance between properties and...
...CTA & Metra stations entrances/exits is 2,640 feet.
...select bus route corridors is 1,320 feet.
Starting September 25, 2025, transit-served location parking relief is available in all zoning districts (learn more).
Pedestrian Streets
P-Street This is not on or within 150 feet of a zoned Pedestrian Street.
Measuring
TOD Status is automatically measured, using GIS, in a direct line between the nearest CTA or Metra station entrance/exit or the centerline of the roadway with the nearest CTA or Pace bus corridor and the map marker. Choose a PIN or parcel to measure to that parcel's lot line instead. The ordinance requires a measurement to the lot line (Chicago Zoning Ordinance 17-10-0102-B), so this will refine our estimate.
The distance is automatically measured by our mapping system. We have taken steps to ensure high accuracy; a survey and a zoning assessment will provide the most accurate measurements.

Say more about basement flooding reports
Not every homeowner reports to Chicago's 311 system when their basement is flooding (report a flooded basement). According to the Illinois Urban Flooding Awareness Act report of 2015, "there is hesitancy on the part of property owners to report or disclose flooding issues typically due to a concern that it would lessen the property value" (page 73).
Unreported basement flooding has community-wide impacts: "Renters are often uninformed of their risk. There are multiple consequences of not reporting flood issues: new owners do not have the information to mitigate potential flooding and may be caught unaware; renters may experience unexpected losses; communities do not have complete information to develop plans." (page 73).
