If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
A
A
A
B
Is
the
real
quick
kind
of
overview
ER
summary
of
where
we
are
now?
Staff
did
bring
the
proposed
text
amendments
and
the
corresponding
parking
study
to
the
parking
and
transportation
committee
meeting
on
August
twenty-fourth?
There
is
a
pretty
extensive
conversation,
so
much
so
to
the
point
that
we
didn't
get
through
the
full
conversation
that
we
wanted
to
have.
So
they
were
a
good
amount
of
comments,
as
well
as
some
questions
and
concerns
that
were
brought
up.
So
there
was
a
request
of
staff
and
the
consultant
to
provide
some
additional
information
to
the
committee.
B
So
the
committee
ultimately
voted
to
continue
that
item.
So
now,
staff
is
working
with
the
consultant
to
get
that
additional
information.
We
are
hoping
to
get
all
of
that
completed
and
bring
that
back
to
the
parking
and
transportation
committee
by
the
end
of
the
year
and
once
they
have
a
chance
to
look
it
over
and
review
it
and
provide
their
recommendation,
then
we'll
bring
it
to
plan
commission.
A
A
Damir
says:
no.
We
don't
all
right,
then
new
business,
a
zoning
ordinance
text,
amendment
an
amendment
regarding
the
inclusionary
housing,
ordinance
bonuses.
This
is
case:
number
16,
p,
el
nd0,
081
zoning
ordinance
text,
amendment
pursuant
to
city
code,
title
6
to
codify
regulations
and
bonuses
to
match
the
regulations
established
by
the
city
of
evanston's,
inclusionary
housing.
Ordinance.
A
B
Well,
before
the
Commission
this
evening
is
the
zoning
text,
amendment
for
inclusion,
Airy,
housing,
ordinance
or
iho
bonuses,
just
a
quick
overview
of
the
inclusionary
housing
ordinance.
The
updated
ordinance
was
approved
by
City
Council
on
November
23rd
of
last
year
and
went
into
effect
of
January
first
of
this
year.
The
ordinance
actually
affects
developments
that
contain
five
or
more
dwelling
units,
if
they're
within
Tod
or
transit,
oriented
development
areas
and
affects
developments
containing
10
or
more
dwelling
units.
If
that
development
is
outside
of
a
Tod
area.
B
They
affect
the
density,
height
floor
area
ratio
and
the
parking
for
those
developments
and,
as
you
can
see,
if
that
particular
development
is
within
a
Tod
area,
the
bonus
is
greater
than
if
that
development
were
to
be
outside
of
a
Tod
area
and
the
first
project
that
actually
fell
under
the
revised
ordinance
was
the
824
Noyes
Street
PD,
which
was
actually
in
front
of
the
Commission
and
recommended
for
approval.
Last
month,
so
these
particular
bonuses
have
already
been
put
in
place
and
we
are
actually
using
these
bonuses
now.
B
So
this
evening
we
are
proposing
to
take
the
bonuses
and
some
of
the
definitions
that
were
included
in
the
iho
and
put
them
into
title
6,
which
regulates
the
zoning
and
just
a
brief
summary
of
those
amendments.
We
would
be
adding
a
new
inclusionary
housing
bonus
section
for
each
of
the
zoning
districts
that
allows
residential
uses,
and
that
will
outline
the
bonuses
that
I
mentioned
previously,
as
well
as
in
the
case
of
planned
developments.
It
would
clarify
that
the
iho
bonuses
would
be
applied
prior
to
the
site
development
allowances.
For
that
particular
plan
development.
B
So
that's
a
very
brief
summary
of
the
amendments
that
are
in
front
of
the
Commission
this
evening.
The
standards
for
the
amendments,
the
one
that
actually
applies,
would
be
the
whether
or
not
the
proposed
amendment
is
consistent
with
the
goals,
objectives
and
policies
of
the
comprehensive
general
plan,
as
adopted
and
amended
from
time
to
time
by
the
City,
Council
and
staff
feels
that
that
has
been
satisfied.
A
C
B
The
iho
that's
within
the
code,
so
this
particular
amendment
would
put
it
any
place
where
it
would
be
more
easily
accessible.
So
as
a
developer,
and
someone
is
coming
in
trying
to
get
information
about
what
they
can
and
can't
build
all
that
information
would
be
in
one
place
and
they'd
be
easier
to
actually
access.
Thank.
C
D
Lewis,
so
I
just
have
a
slew
of
questions,
but
I'm
just
gonna
ask
one
of
time.
So
so
can
you
fill
us
in
a
little
historically
how
bonuses
have
been
have
been
given
to
you
know
housing
and
is
it
discretion
of
the
staff
or
do
they
follow
the
the
regulation
or
I
mean
how
was
it
been
done
in
t.o
DS
before
or
you
know,
I'm.
B
Particular
development
didn't
fall
under
the
updated
iho,
so
with
regards
to
those
bonuses,
they
didn't
necessarily
come
into
play
yet.
Staff,
generally
speaking,
has
been
trying
to
approve
projects
and,
if
possible,
have
conversations
with
developers
that
encourage
more
mixed-use
and
denser
developments
near
transit
stations,
and
things
like
that.
So
while
it's
not
necessarily
been
something
that
specifically
codified
as
definitely
something
that
we've
been
in
practice,
trying
to
do
would.
A
It
be
useful
here
to
distinguish
between
bonuses
and
allowances
that
these
bonuses
that
are
suggested
here
are
almost
matters
of
right.
If
you
build
the
required
number
of
affordable
units,
then
you
get
the
bonuses.
The
allowances
which
have
been
included
in
the
plan.
Development
requirements
are
discretionary
on
the
part
of
us
or
the
council.
Yes,.
B
D
B
D
They
didn't
have
those
on
so
then
we
had
some
language
about
that.
These
bonuses
will
be
before
any
something
or
other
does
that
in
essence,
raise
the
baseline
of
the
density
and
etc.
That
you're
then
playing
from
in
your
allowances,
or
does
it
or
is
it
also
just
seen
as
when
you
do
the
allowances
you're
still
going
back
to
the
bait,
you
know
what
what
was
the
basis
owning
underlying
zoning.
B
Well,
I
found
correctly
interpreting
what
you're
asking.
If
a
development
isn't
proposing
to
use
those
particular
bonuses,
then
they
would
just
have
the
site
development
allowances.
It
wouldn't
necessarily
just
automatically
raise
the
bar,
especially
if
they're
not
providing
the
on
side
of
water,
but.
B
D
The
baseline
all
increases
/
this
ten
twenty
percent
in
density,
ten
percent
in
height
than
any
other
equations
that
are
applied
for
the
zoning
for
Heights,
are
based
on
the
ten
percent
increase,
say,
say
the
heights
you
know
which
is
in
the
downtown
district
applicable.
You
would
be
doing
your
math
from
base
zoning
plus
ten
percent.
D
F
I'm,
when
reading
these,
these
proposed
sections
to
the
zoning
ordinance
I
note
that
there
is
a
clause
that
says
any
cover
development,
as
defined
under
City
Code,
section
57
573,
providing
on-site,
affordable
units
and
that
is
otherwise
compliant
with
the
city's
iho.
So
does
that
mean
that
your
intention
is?
The
bonuses
would
only
apply
if
the
units
were
provided
as
opposed
to
a
developer
that
came
in
and
said
I'm
willing
to
make
the
cash
payment
in
lieu
of
providing
the
affordable
units
right.
B
B
A
D
G
That's
maybe
me,
but
I'm
I'm
I'm
confused
on
what
we're
supposed
to
be
approving
tonight.
We
just
approving
a
set
of
bonuses
that
have
already
been
approved
by
the
City
Council.
Are
we
setting
the
actual
numbers
that
the
City
Council
is
then
going
to
approve
I
mean?
Is
it
worth
our
time
to
spend
talking
about
this,
or
is
that?
Are
we
just
rubber-stamping
something
that
maybe.
B
D
So
so
so
no
playing
on
playing
on
Carol's
Carol's
comment,
so
the
the
guts
are
established.
So
it's
just
how
it's
written
that
we're
action
because
I
have
you
know
they're
there
is
this
duplicated
language
in
four
or
six
sections
that
always
has
bothersome
to
me.
You
know
why
not
have
a
housing
section
that
each
one
of
the
zoning
ordinances
refers
to
for
those
bonuses.
You
know
how
it's
written
you
know
is
now
seems
to
be
the
next
level.
D
If
the
guts
are
already,
you
know
decided,
then
how
it's
written
you
know
maybe
is
the
and
and
again
this
is
one
of
those
not
not
easy
to
manage
throughout
time
proper
ways
that
that
I
I
perceive
of
being
written
into
the
hint
of
the
ordinance.
So
I'm
wondering
if
you
can
address
your
logic
and
in
writing
it
into
each
of
the
zoning
sections
duplicate
language
that
can
in
theory
or
possibility
migrate
away
from
each
other
in
the
future,
as
opposed
to
having
one
reference
section
that.
B
That's
actually
a
good
point.
I
mean
the
the
idea
that
we
had
was
to
explicitly
list
each
of
the
bonuses
and
have
all
of
this
information
within
each
residential
section,
because
we
do
realize
that
developers
are
whoever
is
coming
in
attempting
to
construct.
A
development
is
not
necessarily
going
to
look
throughout
the
whole
ordinance,
especially
if
they
aren't
consulting
with
us
initially.
So
we
want
to
make
it
where
things
are
just
easily
accessible,
especially
if
they're
looking
at
what
the
zoning
is.
So
it's
clearly
the
state
under
weather,
Latino.
A
D
A
D
B
It
definitely
can
see
your
point
with
regards
to
that,
but
we
also
have
something
similar
with
planned
developments
or
a
lot
of
the
language
is
similar,
and
so
you
get
into
the
specifics
of
each
particular
zoning
district,
so
it
this
is
not
necessarily
going
to
be
something
that's
new
to
the
zoning
code.
It
is
just.
D
She's
clear
spot,
but
the
only
difference
in
all
of
these
that
I
could
see.
Is
this
reference
in
the
B
item
where
it
says
development
allowance
as
set
forth
and
68
68
dash
1
dash
ten
and
then
in
the
next
one.
It
says
in
Section,
six
919
I
know
and
that's
the
only
difference
between
every
one
of
them.
So
I'm
wondering
what
it's
just
some
sense
of
economy.
D
A
Maybe
it's
lucky
that
Mario
isn't
here
tonight
recommend
to
the
law
department
that
they
figure
out
some
cleaner
way
to
do
this,
and
and
as
long
as
we
have
approved
the
substance
and
as
long
as
we
have
approved
something
which
could
be
plugged
directly
into
the
zoning
ordinance
where
it
needs
to
be,
then
it
becomes
a
matter
for
the
law
department
and
the
council
to
say
well
yeah
we
would
like
it
cleaner,
I,
don't
see
any.
We
can
do
that
could
do
whatever
we.
A
G
A
C
H
E
A
B
Can
give
you
a
quick
updates
on
I-24
noise
on
Monday
that
went
before
planning
and
development
committee
and
was
introduced
to
City
Council?
They
did
recommend
that
it
be
introduced
to
counsel.
There
was
generally
a
good
reception
for
the
project.
There
was
a
lot
of
question
regarding
the
parking,
especially
the
condition
that
was
placed
that
would
prohibit
the
residents
of
that
building
from
obtaining
on-street
parking
permits.
B
D
German
can
I
ask
there
was
some
question
when
we
left
it
whether
this
development
was
within
the
a's
own
or
not,
and
I'm
sorry,
I
wasn't
present
last
last
meeting,
but
was
it
determined
whether
whether
this
development
was
actually
part
of
in
the
restricted
zone
or
and
a
plan
able
to?
I
know
that
would
had
been
a
question
for
staff,
whether
the
residents
were
actually
allowed
to
apply
for
a
permit
yeah
yeah.
B
As
the
code
is
currently
that,
building,
as
it
currently
is,
is
not
allowed
entre
parking
permits,
but
even
with
the
new
development,
it
would
not
be
allowed
where
the
residents
rather
wouldn't
be
allowed
to
obtain.
Are
you
parking
permits?
They
would
have
to
go
through
the
process
to
amend
either
the
a
or
the
g
district
to
be
included.
B
A
H
You,
chair
Ford
for
the
last
time,
funded,
mirror
Latino,
Planning
and
Zoning
Administrator
I'd
indicated
to
some
of
the
commission
members
earlier
that
I've
accepted
another
position
and
I
will
be
leading
city
of
evanston
end
of
this
week,
actually
Friday's
my
last
day,
so
I
wanted
to
formally
inform
all
of
you.
Then
this
is
gonna,
be
my
last
plan.
H
Commission
I
have
had
nothing
but
joy,
working
with
you
guys,
we've
had
short
nights,
we've
had
long
nights,
but
all
of
them
really
fun
and
challenging,
and
it's
been
a
privilege
to
work
for
the
city
of
evidence.
Then
all
you
live
here,
so
you
know
how
great
the
community
is
I've
been
here
now
for
33
years,
and
it's
been
just
a
pleasure.
The
just
a
diversity
of
projects,
the
complexity
of
the
university
or
the
the
community
in
the
diversity
of
its
residents
and
stakeholders
really
make
it
a
fun
fun
place
to
work.
H
I
mean
I,
knew
that
no
matter
where
I
go
I
will
not
have
a
community
that
provides
this.
This
type
of
diversity
in
terms
of
planning
projects
in
the
zoning
zoning
test,
so
I've
really
enjoyed
my
time.
The
last
three
years,
I
think,
as
you
guys
know,
I
started
on
the
Planning
Commission
as
a
land-use,
planner
and
and
I
really
enjoyed
this
commission
more
it's
more
so
than
any.
A
D
A
A
Being
responsible
for
the
care
and
feeding
of
part-time
commissioners
who
had
their
own
values
and
their
own
interests
and
their
own
schedules
in
their
own
soften
their
own
agendas,
and
the
task
was
to
try
to
help
them
to
think
wisely
together,
and
it
is
a
matter
of
providing
good
information
and
thoughtful
guidance,
and
it
takes
thoroughness
and
steadiness
and
patience.
A
lot
of
patience
and
damier
has
done
this
job
with
an
extraordinary
degree
of
professionalism
and
with
great
good
humour.
