4240 Chestnut is a proposed 7 story, 111,894 SF, mixed use office and residential apartment building. The site consists of one lot totaling 22,991 SF which runs along Chestnut Street near the intersection of 43rd Street. The lot is flanked by a 3 story townhome on the East and a new 5+ story apartment building on the West. The zoning for the site is classified as CMX-4, which generally allows for 100% lot coverage and an FAR of 500% plus a bonus for underground accessory parking.

The building design encompasses a two story commercial base with five stories of wood frame apartments above, and a single level underground parking garage.

The playful aesthetic and selective use of color of the proposed architecture which defines the “Intercultural Family Services” office is driven by a desire to convey to the surrounding community a sense of excitement and optimism. The design in also influenced by the necessity and importance of creating identity and adding character which is reinforced through the varied use of layering materials and careful articulation of the façade.

The 35,489 SF commercial base is designed for “Intercultural Family Services”, a non-profit community organization, whose main entrance will be at the center of the Chestnut Street frontage. One elevator and an open monumental stair under a large skylight serve as the their lobby centerpiece and circulation zone.

The five story apartment complex above is designed to accommodate 102 apartment units. The residential entrance will be located at the eastern end of the site where a secure lobby and access to two elevators is located. The residential amenity spaces include a small fitness room, a study lounge and a rooftop deck. The typical units are studio and 1 bedroom units, +/- 22’ wide X 23.5’ deep, and approximately 500 SF.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

INTRODUCTION

Offices : 35,459 sf

Residents : 76,435 sf

Total : 111,894 sf

MIXED USE SF PROGRAM SUMMARY

District : CMX-4

Lot Area: 22,991 sf

Max FAR (500%) : 114,955 sf

Max Height: No Limit

Bulk + Massing Controls: 100% up to 65’

ZONING DATA

The project design incorporates green roofs covering roughly 80% of the site. These work to manage stormwater runoff, reduce heat island effects and also provide a layer of water purification before water enters the stormwater management system.

SUSTAINABILITY

The pedestrian experience along Chestnut Street will be improved by the addition of 5 street trees and proposed planters on each side of the main entrance. Trash holding and collection will be located within the garage, and a loading zone will be provided on Chestnut Street.

In addition to the 7 story mixed use structure, and as noted, the project will include one level of underground parking with 40 spaces for both Intercultural Family Services and the apartment residents. The ramp down into the self-park garage will be covered. The garage will include elevator access to Intercultural Family Services and the residents with three passenger elevators, one for the offices and two for the residents.

The proposed building materials and design embody a palette of playful and compelling products, patterns, and textures that formally define the difference uses of the building while maintaining an overall cohesive aesthetic.

The ground floor offices feature storefront glazing with a blend of transparent, translucent, and opaque glazing as well as articulated metal work and colored frames.

The residential façade materials include: cast in place concrete, articulated metalwork and frames, anodized aluminum storefront and glazing system, and corrugated metal cladding. The façade design incorporates staggered vertical joint patterns and cut-away areas to add shadow and depth to the overall façade.

Location and Transportation

Access to Quality Transit

Locate a functional entry of the project within a ¼-mile (400-meter) walking distance of existing or planned bus, streetcar, or rideshare stops, bus rapid transit stops, light or heavy rail stations.

Reduced Parking Footprint

All new parking areas to be located in the rear yard of the property or under the building, and unenclosed or uncovered parking areas are 40% or less of the site area.

Green Vehicles

Designate 5% of all parking spaces used by the project as preferred parking for green vehicles or car share vehicles. Clearly identify and enforce for sole use by car share or green vehicles, which include plug-in electric vehicles and alternative fuel vehicles.

Bike Share StationIncorporate a bike share station in coordination with and conformance to the standards of Philadelphia Bike Share.

Sustainable Sites

SUSTAINABILITY QUESTIONNAIRE

COMPLETE STREETS HANDBOOK CHECKLIST Philadelphia City Planning Commission

1

INSTRUCTIONS This Checklist is an implementation tool of the Philadelphia Complete Streets Handbook (the “Handbook”) and enables City engineers and planners to review projects for their compliance with the Handbook’s policies. The handbook provides design guidance and does not supersede or replace language, standards or policies established in the City Code, City Plan, or Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).

The Philadelphia City Planning Commission receives this Checklist as a function of its Civic Design Review (CDR) process. This checklist is used to document how project applicants considered and accommodated the needs of all users of city streets and sidewalks during the planning and/or design of projects affecting public rights-of-way. Departmental reviewers will use this checklist to confirm that submitted designs incorporate complete streets considerations (see §11-901 of The Philadelphia Code). Applicants for projects that require Civic Design Review shall complete this checklist and attach it to plans submitted to the Philadelphia City Planning Commission for review, along with an electronic version.

The Handbook and the checklist can be accessed at http://www.phila.gov/CityPlanning/projectreviews/Pages/CivicDesignReview.aspx

INSTRUCTIONS (continued) APPLICANTS SHOULD MAKE SURE TO COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:

This checklist is designed to be filled out electronically in Microsoft Word format. Please submit the Word version of the checklist. Text fields will expand automatically as you type.

All plans submitted for review must clearly dimension the widths of the Furnishing, Walking, and Building Zones (as defined in Section 1 of the Handbook). “High Priority” Complete Streets treatments (identified in Table 1 and subsequent sections of the Handbook) should be identified and dimensioned on plans.

All plans submitted for review must clearly identify and site all street furniture, including but not limited to bus shelters, street signs and hydrants.

Any project that calls for the development and installation of medians, bio-swales and other such features in the right-of-way may require a maintenance agreement with the Streets Department.

ADA curb-ramp designs must be submitted to Streets Department for review

Any project that significantly changes the curb line may require a City Plan Action. The City Plan Action Application is available at http://www.philadelphiastreets.com/survey-and-design-bureau/city-plans-unit . An application to the Streets Department for a City Plan Action is required when a project plan proposes the:

o Placing of a new street; o Removal of an existing street; o Changes to roadway grades, curb lines, or widths; or o Placing or striking a city utility right-of-way.

Complete Streets Review Submission Requirement*: • EXISTING CONDITIONS SITE PLAN, should be at an identified standard engineering scale

o FULLY DIMENSIONED o CURB CUTS/DRIVEWAYS/LAYBY LANES o TREE PITS/LANDSCAPING o BICYCLE RACKS/STATIONS/STORAGE AREAS o TRANSIT SHELTERS/STAIRWAYS

• PROPOSED CONDITIONS SITE PLAN, should be at an identified standard engineering scale o FULLY DIMENSIONED, INCLUDING DELINEATION OF WALKING, FURNISHING, AND BUILDING ZONES AND

PINCH POINTS o PROPOSED CURB CUTS/DRIVEWAYS/LAYBY LANES o PROPOSED TREE PITS/LANDSCAPING o BICYCLE RACKS/STATIONS/STORAGE AREAS o TRANSIT SHELTERS/STAIRWAYS

*APPLICANTS PLEASE NOTE: ONLY FULL-SIZE, READABLE SITE PLANS WILL BE ACCEPTED. ADDITIONAL PLANS MAY BE REQUIRED AND WILL BE REQUESTED IF NECESSARY
