UPTOWN — A six-story apartment complex could replace a commercial building next to a popular Uptown park.
Raftery Construction is asking Ald.
Matt Martin (47th) for a zoning change to build a six-story building with 95 apartments and 7,600 square feet of commercial space at 4730 N.
Clark St.
The building would have 20 one-bedroom, 70 two-bedroom and five three-bedroom apartments, according to plans shared by Martin’s office.
There would also be 40 off-street parking spaces and 95 bike parking spots.
Nineteen apartments would be earmarked as affordable apartments for people earning less than 60 percent of the area median income — or $51,060 for a household of one — as mandated by the city’s Affordable Requirement Ordinance .
Because the development site borders Chase Park, 4701 N.
Ashland Ave., to the north, the developer would also work with the Park District to convert the south portion of the east-west alley into publicly accessible green space, according to Martin’s office.
The building that would be replaced by the six-story development sits next to Chase Park.
A portion of the alley (pictured) would be turned into public space under the plans.

There’s a two-story commercial building on the site that used to be a location of Community Counseling Centers of Chicago, but it’s now closed, according to the Counseling Centers website.
Raftery Construction has applied for a demolition permit to tear down that building, but it hasn’t been granted yet, according to city records.
Neighbors can give Martin’s office feedback on the project online .
The zoning change request will then be considered by the 47th Ward’s Zoning Advisory Council in August, according to his office.
After that, the 47th Ward will schedule a community meeting for the proposal.
Uptown’s stretch of Clark Street has seen a development boom in recent years , with hundreds of new apartments coming to the corridor.
Across the street from Chase Park, a new construction building known as The Anderson recently brought 36 apartments to the neighborhood.
