Like so much of "neighborhood Chicago", these work without podiums/driveways/curb cuts because of the city's ubiquitous alleys that bisect nearly every single block in the city.
These qualify for 0.5 parking per unit by Chicago's TOD ordinance. The lots are 50' wide, so each building will get a parking pad for 6 cars off the alley in back., meaning 2 units in each building won't come with off-street parking, which is totally fine considering there's an L stop 2.5 blocks away.

That's wild. I've never worked on any kind of industrial facility projects, let alone one that produces bees!!
But we need all the friendly little buzzy pollinators we can get, so hopefully you design a successful bee factory.
