Landmark designation
agreement—Tribune Tower, Chicago.
This Agreement is made between Chicago Tribune
Company, which is the owner of Tribune Tower (the "Owner") and the
City of Chicago, acting through its Commission on Chicago Landmarks (the
"Commission"). The Owner and the Commission agree as follows:
Section 1.
Background
(a). The City Council has, by its adoption of Sections
21-62 to 21-95 of Chapter 21 of the Municipal Code of Chicago, as amended (the
"Landmarks Ordinance"), determined that it is necessary and in the
best interests of the City to identify, preserve, protect, enhance and
encourage the continued utilization and rehabilitation of structures and places
in the City having special historical, architectural and aesthetic interest and
value. The Landmarks Ordinance provides that this landmark preservation process
is to be accomplished in a manner which preserves the character and viability
of Chicago's central business area as well as which conserves and improves the
City's property tax base. The Landmarks Ordinance provides that this process
shall be undertaken so as to protect and enhance orderly and efficient
development of the City. The Landmarks Ordinance also provides for the
Commission to work with land owners to achieve the purposes of the Landmarks
Ordinance on a cooperative basis.
(b). Among the notable buildings in Chicago's central
business area is Tribune Tower. Tribune Tower was designed by Raymond M. Hood
and John Mead Howells, who were the winners of an international design
competition conducted with respect to the design of the building. Construction
of Tribune Tower was begun in 1923 and completed in May, 1925.
(c). Tribune Tower is regarded as one of America's
most accomplished "Gothic" skyscrapers. Utilizing the strong vertical
emphasis of the Gothic style, Tribune Tower's detail and proportion give
elegance to its study in vertical lines.
(d). Tribune Tower sits on a larger parcel of land,
part of which is now occupied by a former printing building, which connects to
Tribune Tower to the east, and part of which is occupied by various additions
to Tribune Tower to the north and east.
(e). The significant architectural and aesthetic
features of Tribune Tower focus on the vertical detailing of its Facades as
defined in this Agreement and, with respect to the interior, the first floor
Lobbies. By contrast, adjacent structures to the east and north do not
contribute to the basic elements of Tribune Tower and thus are not necessary
aspects for protection under the Landmarks Ordinance.
(f). The Commission proposes to recommend that, and
the Owner is willing to consent to have, Tribune Tower be declared a Chicago
landmark and to have its Lobbies and Facades determined to be its critical
features for landmark protection, all as provided in and subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement. The terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement meet the purposes of the Landmark Ordinance. Those terms and
conditions provide for preservation of the architecturally and aesthetically
significant features of Tribune Tower. They provide for the Owner's ability to
operate and maintain the building so that it remains a commercially viable
office building for the Owner, thus preserving the viability and property tax
base of the central business area. And they maintain the ability of the Owner
to develop in an orderly and efficient manner its adjacent land, thus
protecting and enhancing the development of the City and its property tax base.
Section 2.
Definitions

have the following meanings.
(a). "Tribune Tower" means the building

building. It does not include adjoining structures to its north and east.
(b). "West Facade" means the exterior west
wall surfaces and adjoining parapets and flying buttresses of Tribune Tower
parallel to Michigan Avenue above a plane approximately 32.91 feet above City
Datum. The West Facade also includes the northwest and southwest corner
exterior wall surfaces and adjoining parapets and flying buttresses of Tribune
Tower situated at approximately 45 degree angles to Michigan Avenue above a
plane approximately 32.91 feet above City Datum. The West Facade is depicted on
the attached Exhibit A.
(c). "North Facade" means the exterior north
wall surfaces and adjoining parapets and flying buttresses of Tribune Tower
parallel to Illinois Street above a plane approximately 32.54 feet above City
Datum, beginning at the east line of the West Facade (being the northwest

north wall surfaces and adjoining parapets and flying buttresses of Tribune
Tower above a plane approximately 183.06 feet above City Datum (above the 12th
Floor). The North Facade is depicted on the attached Exhibit B.
(d). "East Facade" means the exterior east
wall surfaces and adjoining parapets and flying buttresses of Tribune Tower

(e). "South Facade" means the exterior south
wall surfaces and adjoining parapets and flying buttresses of Tribune Tower
parallel to Illinois Street above a plane approximately 33.69 feet above City
Datum, beginning at the east line of the West Facade (being the southwest

55.40 feet, and also continuing then in an easterly direction along the
exterior south wall surfaces and adjoining parapets and flying buttresses of
Tribune Tower above a plane approximately 183.06 feet above City Datum (above
the 12th Floor) (thus permitting in the area below that plane any future
construction of a building or structure connecting to Tribune Tower or
adjoining buildings or structures). The South Facade is depicted on the
attached Exhibit D.
(f). "Lobbies" means the interior main lobby
located on the first Floor of Tribune Tower, and the north and south elevator
lobbies located on the first Floor of Tribune Tower. The Lobbies are depicted

Landmarks Ordinance. The Owner retains the property right to make any
alteration, construction, reconstruction, demolition or relocation or to
undertake other work with respect to such parts and features which are not
Critical Features without being subject to final or preliminary approval or
disapproval by the Commission (including as a requirement to obtain a City

(d). All adjoining property and structures to Tribune
Tower are specifically excluded from designation as a Chicago Landmark or from
