Hell yeah! Read below:

Cathedral Place
A large project will be happening on the Archdiocese's-owned lot that surrounds the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul proposed for development in multiple phases. The request for LSNA to consider is a City Council-sponsored ordinance that will approve an adjustment from the existing RM4 designation to CMX-4, a change that will allow considerably more height and massing but will also accommodate a mix-use development versus only residential. With a zoning change to CMX-4 the building height will be restricted by Parkway overlays to 200’ on 18th St. (adjacent to the front of the basilica) and 245’ on Race St. (adjacent to the rear of the basilica), however the Northeast quadrant of the site, being outside of any overlay restrictions, could rise to the height limits defined by CMX-4 zoning. The developer proposes a 600’ tall structure in this location by taking advantage of bonuses such as underground parking. It is the PDC’s preference that any change in zoning be addressed through a zoning variance for each phase of construction when designs are developed for review rather than a city council ordinance allowing for a full parcel change in zoning without any developed design. If the LSNA Board is in favor of the full parcel zoning change request, the PDC recommends a height restriction of 100-125 feet (aligning with the height of the Basilica nave/ west-façade and all other building heights around Logan Square) to the point east beyond the basilica dome.
