Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
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
I
remember
that
we
suspend
the
rules
to
allow
us
to
proceed.
Utilizing
the
zoom
software
in
lieu
of
an
in-person
meeting
and
in
conformance
with
the
governor's
prior
directives.
With
regard
to
the
covet.
B
Am
it
said
on
the
line
that
I
wasn't,
but
anyway,
all
right
I'll
I'll?
Do
it,
I
I'll,
do
it
all
right?
So,
ms
knight,
will
you
call
the
roll
ultimate
fifth
here.
B
C
D
B
Okay,
do
we
have
any
speakers
signed
up.
B
Okay,
all
right
so,
okay,
so
I'm
just
thinking
I
I
might
be
inclined
to
do
it
at
the
beginning.
But
what
would
the
committee
like.
B
Okay,
let
me
just
make
one
comment
ahead
of
citizen
comment:
the
first
item
on
our
agenda
having
to
do
with
resolution.
73
r20
approving
a
plat
of
subdivision
for
2404
ridge
avenue
is
being
removed
from
our
agenda
at
the
request
of
the
applicant,
so
just
wanted.
B
Sorry,
absolutely
that
was
that
was
inaccurate.
I
meant
to
be
held
yes,
okay,
all
right
so
could
we
have
citizen
come
in
first,
let's
do
that.
First,
even
before
we
approve
the
minutes
and
things.
C
Okay,
would
you
like
them
in
the
order
they
were
receiver
by
agenda
item.
C
Okay,
let's
go
in
order;
they're
received
the
first
person
signed
up
is
rick
nelson
on
p2.
E
Yeah,
so
you
can
hear
me
and
so
right
now
I
actually
tried
to
turn
on
my
screen
and
I'm
blocked.
But
if
that's
fine,
I
can
oh.
E
So
good
evening,
I'm
rick
nelson
I'm
the
co-chair
with
janet
alexander
davis
of
the
environmental
justice
evanston
committee,
which
is
also
known
as
eje
eje
is
a
working
committee
of
cge,
and
our
committee
is
participating
tonight
to
support
the
environmental
justice
resolution
that
is
before
you
for
approval.
E
So
we
hope
that
the
all
the
committee
members
received
a
document
entitled
key
facts
on
the
environmental
justice
resolution.
Before
you
consider
the
resolution
tonight.
I
wanted
to
briefly
highlight
some
of
these
key
facts
for
you
and
I'm
going
to
do
it
in
the
same
order
they
are
presented
in
the
document.
E
E
So
the
point
here
is
really
that
we
got
a
lot
of
input
from
a
lot
of
different
sources
and
we
really
didn't
put
ourselves
in
a
vacuum
relative
to
gathering
input
to
create
the
resolution.
E
So
five,
there
is
an
action
item
in
the
car
plan
that
calls
for
the
city
to
adopt
an
ej
ordinance.
So
we
feel
that
this
is
extremely
important,
because
if
the
city
is
serious
about
implementing
the
actions
in
the
car
plan,
the
approval
of
this
ej
resolution
is
a
big
first
step
in
adopting
a
subsequent
ej
ordinance.
E
Sixth,
the
ej
resolution
just
received
two
key
approvals
from
the
environment
board
and
the
equity
and
empowerment
commission.
These
are
obviously
two
very
important
city
groups
that
address
matters
that
are
relevant
to
environmental
justice
in
evanston
and
seven
ej
resolution
has
significant
community
support,
so
we
have
endorsements
from
cge
the
evanston
environmental
association
tis
media
foundation.
E
We
also
have
support
from
citizens
like
jane
grover,
dolores
holmes
and
robin
gable
from
businesses
like
remake
architecture
and
kombucha
brava.
So
there's
a
list
of
endorsements
in
the
key
facts
document
and
the
list
is
continuously
growing.
So
those
are
the
key
facts.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
are
aware
of
prior
to
your
consideration
of
the
resolution
this
evening
and
just
to
wrap
up.
I
want
to
say
that
our
eje
committee
believes
a
lot
of
good.
Work
has
been
done
to
put
a
strong
environmental
justice
resolution
before
you
tonight.
E
E
C
Next,
we
have
darian
halligan
and
alderman
reigning.
Did
you
want
to
do
a
time
limit
on
speakers.
B
Yeah
we
have
17
speakers
signed
up.
I
didn't
realize
that
yeah
rick
nelson
got
the
fair
share
of
all
the
environment.
People,
maybe
maybe
they'll,
be
very
thoughtful
and
just
say
we
agree
with
him:
okay,
who's
next.
F
Hi
good
evening
hi,
how
are
you
guys
alderman
rainey,
the
planning
and
development
committee?
My
name
is
darian
halligan,
I'm
a
relatively
new
resident
in
ward
7,
and
I'm
calling
here
specifically
to
throw
my
support
under
p5
ordnance,
860-20
accessory
dwelling
units
outside
of
my
personal
situation.
F
F
So
I
have
a
household
and
I
would
love
to
have
an
adu
for
my
mom
and
or
mom-in-law
so
that
they
can,
you
know,
have
a
feeling
of
independence,
but
also
you
know
it
allows
us
to
be
together
as
a
whole
family.
F
So
for
these
reasons
I
am
in
support
of
86020
the
accessory
dwelling
unit
and
thank
you
very
much
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
B
H
So
I'm
speaking
about
the
request
to
change
the
zoning
on
the
1900
block
of
orrington
and
a
number
of
my
neighbors
are
going
to
be
speaking
about
other
aspects
of
this,
but
I
in
particular
I'm
going
to
talk
about
you
know
whether
or
not
affordable
housing
is
an
aspect
of
this
which
so-
and
I
I
want
to
start
out
by
saying
my
husband-
and
I
are
completely
support-
any
efforts
in
this
city
to
create
more
affordable
housing.
C
H
All
for
seven
thousand
two
hundred
dollars
a
month,
so
you
know
very
few
people,
individuals
or
families-
can
afford
these
rents
for
us
on
the
block
you.
H
Lots
of
students
with
you
know
very
young
tenants
and
absentee
landlords-
we've
seen
the
effect
of
this
on
maple
south
of
noyes
near
on
hamlin
gaffield
sherman,
and
we
really
really
want
to
not
have
that
happen
here.
H
We
also
just
want
to
say
that
we
don't
see
that
there's
a
particular
need
for
more
student
housing
than
two
minutes.
Oh
okay,
I
just
want
to
say
that
you
know
we
fighting
for
a
special
you
know.
Fighting
special
use
permits
is
really
in
a
very
tough
mountain
to
climb.
We
are
really
hoping
that
that
isn't
something
that
we're
forced
to
do.
It's
been
an
exhausting
process
just
getting
to
this
meeting,
and
I
just
you
know.
I
really
hope
we
can
keep
this
a
family
block.
H
C
Next,
next
up
dan
shapiro
on
p3,
mr
shapiro.
J
Good
evening,
alderman
rainey,
can
you
see
me
and
hear
me?
Okay,
perfectly
wonderful!
I
have
a
brief
presentation
and
some
comments
I'd
like
to
make
on
behalf
of
the
owners
and
residents
on
the
1900
block
of
orrington.
It's
my
understanding
that
that
was
sent
out
before
and
if
I
could
indulge
the
committee
to
allow
me
to
go
through
it.
I
would
really
appreciate
it.
J
J
Everson
has
a
series
of
standards
that
must
be
achieved
for
a
map
amendment
to
be
successful
and
in
this
case,
I'd
like
to
go
through
the
standards
briefly
and
show
you
why,
in
this
case,
the
rezoning
is
appropriate
and
satisfy
the
standards
first
standard
is
that
it
has
to
be
consistent
with
the
comprehensive
plan.
J
The
second
is
that
it
has
to
be
compatible
with
the
overall
character,
the
third
of
the
neighborhood,
sorry,
the
third
is
whether
it
will
have
an
adverse
effect
on
the
value
of
adjacent
properties,
and
the
fourth
is
adequacy
of
facilities
and
services
that
fourth
factors
are
not
applicable
in
this
case,
so
to
best
apply
and
talk
about
these
standards.
I
prepared
a
powerpoint
you'll,
see
in
this
area
in
this
area,
where
my
cursor
is,
is
the
area
that
we're
talking
about?
J
On
this
slide,
I've
identified
the
r4
a
property,
the
block
that
is
owned,
r4a,
as
well
as
the
boundaries
of
two
historic
districts,
historic
preservation,
districts
in
devonson,
and
I
would
only
comment
that
of
all
the
historic
preservation
districts
in
evanston.
This
is
the
only
one
that
has
both
the
local
and
historic
boundaries
which
include
these
properties.
J
In
just
a
moment
shows
that
preservation,
but
this
slide
is
important
for
you
to
see
that
the
r4a
is
here
where
the
cursor
is
in
a
large
r1a,
which
is
north
of
foster,
goes
many
blocks
to
the
north
is
immediately
adjacent
to
the
to
the
area.
J
So
here's
a
historical
picture
of
what
orington
looked
like
now.
We
move
forward
in
time,
and
this
is
around
1999
and
today
you
will
see
that
this
area
is
again
his
his
has
been
preserved.
It's
got
magnificent
architecture,
magnificently
maintained
homes
and
is
consistent
with
the
r1
zoning
district.
So
now,
let's
talk
about
the
comprehensive
plan.
Comprehensive
plan
talks
about
several
factors
which
are
applicable
here.
It
encourages
structures
and
sites
and
neighborhoods
to
maintain
their
historical
and
local
significance.
J
It's
it
encourages
neighborhoods
neighborhood
assets
to
be
enhanced,
while
recognizing
that
each
neighborhood
contributes
to
the
overall
social
and
economic
quality
of
the
city
of
evanston.
Historic
heritage
should
continue
to
be
identified
and
preserved,
and
it
says
that
these
areas
should
continue
to
assist
neighborhoods
to
recognize
and
preserve
their
own
historically
significant
assets.
J
J
This
is
the
landmark
building
home
rather.
J
So
I
show
you
these,
so
you
get
a
sense
of
what
the
character
is
on
the
1900
block.
Now,
let's
go
just
immediately
north
across
the
street
on
foster
here's
a
comparison,
these
homes,
these
styles,
these
architectures,
it
is
dramatically
similar,
orington,
1930
and
then
just
north
across
the
street,
where
the
large
r-win
zoning
district
exists.
J
K
J
J
As
I
said
before,
the
his
the
comprehensive
plan
talks
about
historic
preservation,
districts,
which
this
community
values
very
very
highly.
The
application
1999
to
make
to
have
this
area
be
included
as
part
of
the
northeast
historic
district
says
that
their
store
district
retains
a
strong
degree
of
historic
integrity
of
the
546
primary
structures.
474
contribute
to
the
historic
and
significance
of
the
district.
J
Multi-Family
housing
membership
organizations
which
include
fraternities
and
sororities
in
congregate,
housing.
It's
it's
these
three,
which
I'd
like
to
focus
your
attention
on.
For
the
moment,
there's
been
great
pressure
put
in
this
area
for
developers
to
come
in,
convert
or
apply
for
special
uses
to
allow
for
these
types
of
of
these
uses.
In
particular,
this
has
happened
whether
they
got
a
special
use
permit
or
not.
It
has
happened.
J
You
can
see
it
on
the
block
and
so,
as
a
result,
what
what
is
going
on
is
there's
been
deferred
maintenance
in
in
many
of
these,
along
and
in
in
this
area
or
close
to
this
area.
There's
been
noise,
garbage
and
other
influences
that
really
adversely
affect
the
owners
and
the
occupants
of
these
historic
structures
and
these
structures
that
have
been
there
for
over
a
hundred
years.
J
This
is,
as
I
was
saying,
the
developer
attorney
suggested.
This
is
inappropriate
because
they're
going
to
be
legal
non-conforming
to
the
extent
any
legal
non-conforming
is
expanded,
they
can
seek
a
major
variation.
So
there's
an
avenue
for
that
type
of
interest
to
go
forward
to
the
extent
they
want
to
conform.
The
legal
non-conforming
in
the
future
in
all
r1
is
the
most
appropriate
and
the
best
device
to
re-zone
this
area,
not
only
because
satisfy
the
standards,
but
because
it's
the
right
thing
to
do
to
preserve
this
area.
B
L
Can
you
hear
you
can
hear
me,
though,
I
think
perfectly
as
a
resident
single
family
owner
on
this
block?
We
support
the
changes
to
r1,
because
we
want
to
preserve
the
family
and
community
feel
to
the
southern
border
of
the
northeast
evanston
historic
district.
L
Just
as
the
black
was
identified
as
an
integral
part
of
the
northeast
evanston
historic
district,
it
is
equally
an
intricate
part
of
the
other
single
family
homes
in
the
district.
Just
to
the
north
and
zoning
adjustment
to
r1
recognizes
the
importance
role
this
block
plays
in
the
community
in
the
historic
district.
We
have
owned
our
home
1922.
Since
june
1997.
I've
lived
here
for
more
than
23
years,
raising
four
of
our
children.
The
house
was
designed
by
prominent
architect
charles
rob,
ayers
and
built
in
1896..
L
It
is
an
evanston,
historic,
landmark
and
part
of
the
northeast
evanston
historic
district
in
1999.
Shortly
after
we
moved
in
the
north,
northeast
evanston
historic
district
was
recognized
as
part
of
the
national
register
of
historic
places.
It
is
important
to
note
that
the
boundaries
of
this
historic
district
include
the
1900
block
of
warrington,
specifically
this
one
block
of
orenton
just
north
of
emerson.
The
houses
on
this
black
are
among
the
oldest
in
the
historic
district.
The
application
notes
is
important
several
times.
L
The
beauty
and
historical
significance
of
this
block
has
remained
intact
because
of
the
care
and
efforts
of
the
family
that
lived
in
these
single-family
homes
of
more
than
500
primary
buildings
in
the
historic
district.
95
percent
of
them
were
built
as
single-family
residents.
The
homes
on
this
block,
with
exclusive
exclusion
of
the
owner-occupied
rooming
house,
was
built
and
remained
mostly
owner-occupied
single-family
homes
in
1917
evanson's,
first
compre
comprehensive
plan
established
in
northeast
evanston
would
remain
primarily
a
single
family
residence.
L
The
1999
historic
district
confirmed
this
commitment
and
the
homeowners
on
this
block
have
invested
in
that
vision.
In
a
one
more
paragraph.
Until
recently,
high
rent
rates
generated
almost
exclusively
by
northwestern
students,
have
lured
investors
to
this
block
to
increase
density
and
profits.
While
the
third
district
regulations
protect
the
sides,
they
cannot
mandate
a
love
for
these
homes.
B
C
M
Ross
I
live
in
the
1900
block
of
orrington.
I've
lived
here
for
12
years.
I
hope
to
live
here
with
my
family
for
many
more
years
when
I
moved
here,
there
were
not
any
student
houses
near
me.
In
the
past
few
years,
we've
there
have
been.
There
are
now
three
that
have
been
converted
that
are
affiliated
with
sororities
or
fraternities.
M
These
convert
properties
would
be
extremely
appealing
for
greek
houses
and
other
large
student
groups.
Developers
have
been
asking
about
buying
these
houses
on
this
block.
For
this
exact
purpose,
the
special
use
process
is
an
insufficient
safeguard
against
this.
The
outcome
would
be
unpredictable
and
it
with
the
burden
on
neighbors
to
fight
developers
at
every
attempted
conversion.
M
M
If
the
zoning
change
we
were
discussing
here
does
not
happen,
I
fear
I
will
have
to
sell
my
house
and
what
family
will
buy
a
house
next
to
what
I've
described
to
you.
Several
large
groups
of
students
in
consecutive
houses
sharing
a
large
yard
that
is
perfect
for
beer,
pong
tables
and
huge
parties.
M
Would
you
buy
a
house
next
to
that?
I
most
likely
would
have
to
sell
to
a
developer.
Who
would
do
the
same
thing
to
my
house,
then
my
neighbor
will
have
to
do
the
same
and
the
next
neighbor
the
same,
and
that
would
be
sad
not
just
for
us,
but
for
this
beautiful
historic
block,
it's
one
of
the
oldest
in
evidence.
M
The
first
block
that
many
north
western
visitors
see
when
they
first
come
to
town.
B
N
N
N
The
plan
commission
recommend
recognized
this
and
voted
seven
to
two
against
a
zoning
change.
N
N
N
They
don't
fit
with
an
r1
already
right
now,
some
of
them
there
is
a
there's,
been
a
reference
to
the
rooming
house.
There
is
a
multi-family
house.
There
are
three
at
least
three
properties
that
lots
are
not
big
enough
to
be
r1,
surely
an
indication
that
this
classification
is
wrong.
For
this
block,
when
half
of
the
properties
don't
fit,
it
causes
problems.
If
there's
a
fire
or
if
there's
any
changes,
they
want
to
make
or
any
rehabilitation
any
changes
you
want
to
make
for
the
property
if
it
is
non-conforming.
N
N
If
you
take
a
look
at
page
32
of
your
meeting
agenda,
this
is
just
like
a
little
peninsula
of
r1
that
juts
down
in
the
middle
of
r5
and
a
bunch
of
university
properties
around
it.
It
really
is
just
not
appropriate.
Do
not
change
to
the
most
inflexible
least
equitable,
most
privileged
zoning
possible
for
this
single
block.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you.
Sean
next
dave.
O
As
thank
you,
alderman
rady,
and
thank
you
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
dave
schoenfeld
I
represent.
I
live
at
2039.
M
O
Okay,
thank
you.
I've
been
involved
with
northwestern
neighbors
for
25
years.
The
northwestern
neighbor
association,
most
recently,
is
his
president
and
I'm
a
member
of
the
city
university
committee,
focusing
on
land
use
issues
here
as
well.
I
strongly
favor
this
amendment
to
to
rezone
this
block.
The.
O
Obviously,
if
the
owners
are
hiring
an
attorney
to
speak
to
this
committee,
they
have
plans
for
the
future.
This.
G
O
Not
just
about
maintaining
the
current
use
of
these
properties,
allowing
that
block
to
turn
over
to
absentee
ownership
student
rentals,
as
we've
seen
nearby
on
sherman
avenue,
would
create
a
situation
in
which
students
treat
the
block
as
a
part
of
the
northwestern
campus.
While
the
university
has
no
responsibility
for
their
behavior,
this
development
inevitably
would
result
in
severe
disruptions
to
the
lives
of
the
families
living
in
what
is
meant
to
be
a
residential
and
not
a
university
setting.
This
in
turn
would
surely
lead
to
further
decline
of
the
block
as
a
family
neighborhood.
O
I
can
tell
you
from
observation
that
the
owner
occupants
of
this
block
have
committed
substantial
resources
to
preserving
and
enhancing
the
historical
integrity
of
that
block.
The
zoning
should
be
consistent
across
our
entire
neighborhood,
and
this
has
been
has
been
noted.
That
block
is
the
only
one
that
is
not
r1
at
the
moment
and
lacks
the
protections
that
the
rest
of
the
neighborhood
has
the.
O
G
I'm
gonna
be
quick,
so
I
I
like
support
the
p2
resolution,
but
I
think
it
should
be
written
a
little
more
inclusively
the
way
the
document
reads:
it
suggests
environmental
justice,
especially
the
tracking
of
unhealthy
environmental
situations
in
evanston,
are
limited
to
certain
areas
of
evanston,
which
I
don't
think
is
accurate.
G
It's
a
good
initiative,
but
there
are
unhealthy
environmental
areas
that
exist
throughout
evanston.
I
think
these
environmental
problem
areas
should
be
trapped
carefully
throughout
the
city.
Thank
you
good
point.
P
Hello
there
can
everyone
hear
me:
okay,
great
good
evening
to
members
of
planning
and
development
committee,
residence
and
ascendant
city
staff.
My
name
is
robinson
robbie,
marcus,
I'm
the
co-founder
and
vice
president
of
the
evanston
development,
cooperative
or
udc,
and
I'm
here
speaking
in
support
of
item
p5,
the
accessory
dwelling
unit
ordinance
through
this
ordinance.
I
I
really
believe
that
evanston
is
taking
one
small
step
away
from
exclusionary
or
single
family,
only
zoning
and
really
towards
a
zoning
code
that
does
not
discriminate
on
the
basis
of
income
or
race.
P
The
amount
of
abundant
space
in
our
alleys
backyards
and
even
inside
our
existing
homes
demonstrates
that
we
have
the
opportunities
in
front
of
us
to
house
workers,
older
adults,
renters
and
young
people
alike,
and
only
if
our
current
zoning
code
allows
for
these
types
of
homes
by
legalizing
internal
or
attached
accessory
dwelling
units
through
this
ordinance,
such
as
basement
and
attic
conversions.
P
This
ordinance
can
help
evanston,
expand
housing
options
across
our
community
at
a
smaller
scale
and
a
lower
cost
and
additionally,
through
these
changes
to
the
building,
lot
coverage
and
off-street
parking
requirements.
Item
p5
can
make
it
easier
to
create
accessible
ground
level
adus
for
older
evanstonians
that
are
seeking
to
stay
in
their
community
as
they
age
specifically.
I
do
encourage
pmd
committee
to
consider
withdrawing
one
amendment
in
this
ordinance.
P
It's
the
requirement
that
common
ownership
exist
between
the
owner
of
the
primary
structure
and
the
accessory
dwelling
unit
by
restricting
the
creation
of
two
separately
owned
housing
units
or
condos.
We
believe
this
amendment
forces
people
to
own
more
housing
and
land
working
against
equity
and
affordability.
P
In
fact,
I
actually
looked
into
it.
I
was
curious
and
the
state
of
california
passed
a
bill
last
year
to
explicitly
allow
non-profits
to
conduize
a
main
home
and
an
adu
under
the
bill.
Community
land
trust
can
conduit
and
sell
these
two
separate
housing
structures
as
affordable
units.
So,
given
that
the
restricted
nature
of
ownership
amendment
would
ban
the
types
of
housing
opportunities,
we
respectfully
ask
vnd
to
consider
removing
that
from
the
ordinance.
That
aside,
I
encourage
you
all
to
vote
yes
and
move
this
forward.
C
Are
we
next
up,
then
van
m
event
bennette?
I
think
he
signed
up
for
p1,
I'm
not
sure
he's
here
and
then
after
that
is
jennifer
o'neil.
B
B
K
Am
here
there,
she
is
good
evening,
everyone,
my
name
is
jennifer
o'neal,
I'm
the
president
of
the
league
of
women
voters
of
evanston,
and
I
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
express
our
support
for
amending
the
city
code
to
create
accessory
dwelling
regulations,
unit
regulations,
and
I
I
totally
concur
with
what
you
just
heard
from
robbie
marcus
to
to
the
point
of
even
eliminating
that
one
one
portion.
K
K
We
believe
the
addition
of
adus
would
be
an
important
step
towards
addressing
the
growing
need
for
accessible,
affordable
homes
in
evanston,
so
the
evanston
league
supports
accessory
dwelling
units
as
a
valuable
housing
option
and
specifically
the
proposed
amendment,
and
we
hope
that
you
will
support
it
too.
Thank.
C
B
Q
Yes,
you
are
showing
up.
You
can
see
me
all
right.
I've
cut
this
through.
I
have
cut
it
down,
but
I'm
gonna
go
so
good
evening.
We
purchased
our
home
on
the
1900
block
of
orrington.
Three
years
ago,
the
sellers
shared
our
new
home's
history
with
us,
including
photos
taken
before,
during
and
after
they
renovated
it
maintaining
its
historic
character.
They
spoke
of
their
kind
neighbors,
like
the
one,
pushing
the
snow
blower
along
our
sidewalk
on
our
first
snow.
We
have
worked
hard
to
be
good
caretakers
to
this
charming
historic
home
while
it
is
ours.
Q
Would
we
have
bought
this
house
if,
if
it
was
surrounded
by
off-campus
housing,
we
would
not.
It
is
not
in
our
nature
to
be
the
mean
neighbor,
calling
the
authorities
about
noise
or
monitoring
how
many
students
actually
live
in
a
neighboring
house.
Will
we
be
on
alert
for
special
use
requests
as
long
as
we
live
here,
even
if
all
of
us
take
these
duties
on
now,
what
happens
to
the
block
in
the
future?
Will
families
move
in
again?
R
Thank
you.
Can
you
see
me
and
hear
me.
R
R
So
these
people
have
a
block
right
across
the
street
from
the
dormitory
which
one
side
of
the
block
which
is
northwestern
you
can't
drink
on
their
side
of
the
block
you
can't.
While
I
was
on
the
council,
the
call
I
got
the
most
was
about
buying
these
types
of
properties
on
sherman
and
orrington
to
be
specifically
rented
to
students.
It
causes
all
types
of
problems,
because
I'll
just
give
you
an
example
on
the
parking,
if
you
put,
if
you
put
12
students
into
one
of
these
houses,
that's
potentially
12
cars.
R
Just
before
right
after
I
got
off
the
council
at
2147
sherman,
the
that
that
home,
which
was
a
three
flat
which
was
the
most
magnificent
landscape
property
on
the
block,
is
sherman.
It
was
owned
by
larry
bettner,
six
months
after
he
sold
it.
It
was
then
owned
by
people
who
lived
on
the
maple
avenue
block
in
northbrook
illinois.
R
When
I
came
home-
and
this
is
around
august
14th
of
2008-
I
found
the
the
landscaping
was
virtually
destroyed.
The
bottom
unit
was
boarded
up
because
the
window
was
bashed
in
and
what
had
been
a
beautiful
property
owned
by
an
evanstonian
was
now
a
property
owned
by
somebody
in
northbrook
who
had
bashed
out
front
windows
and
no
longer
had
beautiful
landscaping.
R
So
the
people
on
this
block
have
a
unique
problem
and
the
values
of
their
homes.
If
you
go
into
that
r1
on
orrington
the
homes
in
the
1910,
the
1940
black
are
not
as
valuable
right
now,
simply
because
they
are
across
the
street
from
foster
walker.
If
you
go
to
the
2200
or
2300
block
of
orrington,
the
same
home
will
be
worth
two
or
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
more,
so
these
people
are
fighting
for
their
property
values,
they're
trying
to
have
some
control
over
their
future,
and
they
simply
it.
R
They
can
charge
for
one
bedroom,
a
very
large
amount
of
money,
and
it
doesn't
it's
not
going
to
create
affordable
housing
on
this
block,
it's
going
to
create
housing
for
students
who
don't
want
to
live
in
the
dorms.
So
I
would
urge
you
to
support
the
amendment.
It
fits
in
it's
consistent
with
the
r1
to
the
north,
and
these
people
do
have
a
lot
at
stake,
and
I
would
hope
that
you
would
grant
their
proposed
amendments.
B
I
Yeah,
I
will
be
very
quick.
I
I
want
to
just
speak:
I'm
sue
lowbach
from
connections
for
the
homeless
and
joining
forces
for
affordable
housing
regarding
p3,
the
rezoning
on
orrington.
We
strongly
oppose
the
proposed
zoning
change.
If
anything,
we
feel
that
zoning
should
be
changed
to
move
away
from
single
family
and
single-use
zoning,
and
the
problems
with
students
should
be
resolved
in
other
ways:
the
lack
of
affordable
housing
and
the
wave
of
evictions
we
are
foreseeing
after
the
eviction
with
moratorium
is
over
means.
I
We
need
to
be
more
flexible,
moving
forward,
not
less
so.
Regarding
p5
on
adus,
we
strongly
support
this
ordinance
and
the
changes
it
includes,
with
the
exception
noted
by
robbie
marcus
about
ownership
of
both
units
on
a
site.
While
it
doesn't
specifically
create
affordable
units,
it
does
add
a
new
level
of
flexibility
in
the
city's
land
use
that
will
open
the
doors
to
new
types
of
housing
with
great
potential
for
affordability.
B
Thank
you
sue
all
right,
we're
going
to
close
citizen
comment
and
we're
going
to
move
to
our
agenda,
and
the
first
item
on
our
agenda
will
be
the
minutes
of
the
meeting
of
july
27.
May
I
have
a
motion.
Please
move
approval,
okay,
any
corrections
or
comments
on
the
minutes.
Hearing
none
all
those
in
favor
of
approving
july
27
minutes
say:
aye
aye,
aye,
aye,
old
marine.
I
have
to
call
the
roll.
Oh,
oh!
Oh
that's
right!
I
was
just
going
to
remember
to
stay.
B
C
B
S
B
A
B
Yes,
people
the
the
applicant
asks
that
it
be
held.
C
Second,
let
me
move
to
dave
certain
for
that.
B
D
B
Okay,
I'll
start
out
first
item
on
our
agenda
regarding
issues
is
p2
and
that
is
our
staff
is
recommending.
The
city
council
adopt
resolution
72
r20,
and
that
is
the
support
of
the
environmental
justice
resolution.
I
move
approval.
S
C
C
D
I
just
want
to
say
how
I
know
how
long,
how
many
years
actually
the
this
committee
has
been
working
on
this
resolution.
I
was
part
of
the
committee
before
I
became
a
came
on
the
council.
They
just
put
in
tremendous
amount
of
work
and
I'm
really
delighted
that
it's
come
to
us.
Finally,
and
I
just
want
to
mention
that
it
what's
really
important.
Is
it's
not
only
ensuring
that
there's
protection
from
environmental
hazard?
It's
also
ensuring
that
there's
equal
access
to
the
environmental
assets
of
the
community?
D
I
think
that's
a
very
important
piece,
and
thirdly,
the
the
committee
has
always
been
very
insistent
on
the
importance
of
meaningful
public
engagement
of
citizens
in
the
decisions
that
are
going
to
affect
the
quality
of
their
lives.
So
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
those
three
important
visions
that
the
committee
has
had
and
that
the
resolution
is
going
to
help
us
move
forward
with.
So
I
I
urge
our
approval.
U
Thank
you.
This
echoing
alderman,
really
appreciate
the
organization's
thoughtfulness
in
reaching
out
and
making
sure
that
many
voices
are
included.
Thank
you
for
the
tremendous
attention
you
give
to
everything
as
it
relates
to
environmental
matters
and
how
you
push
us
pushed
us
and
inform
us
on
city
council.
U
Very
much
in
support
of
this
they've
worked
so
hard
they've
taken
feedback
and
pushed
back
and
made
a
resolution
that
is
appropriate
in
line
with
our
values
here
and
just
really
grateful
for
the
work.
The
leadership
of
my
neighbor,
janet
alexander
davis,
on
the
organization
and
all
others
that
have
served.
Thank
you
so
much
for
seeing
this
through.
B
Thank
you,
anybody
else,
hearing
none.
Would
you
like
to
call
the
role.
C

B
Right.
Thank
you.
Next
item
is
ordinance
84020,
granting
a
map
amendment
at
1910
through
1946
orrington
avenue
and
714
716
foster
street
to
re-zone
the
r4a
general
residential
district
to
our
one
single
family,
residential
district,
keeping
in
mind
this
is
for
introduction
only
tonight
I
move
approval
second
alderman
fist.
Do
you
want
to
speak
to
this.
T
Thank
you,
alderman
rainey,
and
thank
you
to
everyone
who
spoke
tonight.
I
want
to
make
a
couple
of
points
and
over
the
past,
30
years
since
we
adopted
the
1993
zoning
ordinance,
which
put
in
place
the
t1
and
t2
zoning
districts,
looking
toward
protecting
the
residential
areas
to
the
west
of
campus
from
a
university
sprawl,
things
have
have
changed.
T
Historically,
this
block
has
been
zoned,
r1,
moved
down
to
r4
and
then
moved
down
to
r4a,
and
that
was
all
as
a
result
of
recognizing
the
pressures,
not
only
in
the
first
ward
but
the
fifth
ward
as
well.
The
fireman's
park
neighborhood
areas
to
the
north
along
lincoln
and
the
1900
block
of
of
orrington
when.
T
So
for
a
while
that
was
focused
not
only
in
the
firemen's
park
neighborhood,
which
has
an
incredible
array
of
affordable
homes
that
will
be
being
overtaken
by
absentee
landlords
ranking
to
students,
but
that
occurred
in
the
2100
22
2100
blocks
of
sherman
as
well,
and
what
we
saw
as
alderman
newman
referred.
T
We
saw
a
deterioration
in
not
only
the
housing
stock,
but
also
in
the
it
just
the
the
general
ambience
of
the
neighborhood,
a
lot
of
late
night
parties,
lots
of
drinking
on
the
lawns,
lots
of
just
a
a
confusing
mix
of
activities
that
were
more
appropriate
for
a
college
campus
than
they
were
for
a
residential
neighborhood.
T
T
The
area
that
we're
asking
being
these
rezoned
r1
in
response
to
the
continuing
pressure
on
this
block
by
outside
developers,
who
have
pretty
much
identified
it
as
the
next,
the
next
area
in
which
they
can
make
money,
and
let's
make
it
really
clear
that
the
neighbors
were
speaking
to
the
fact
that
this
is
not
affordable
housing.
I
mean
we're
talking
about
a
thousand
dollars
per
bed
in
these
houses,
and
that
is
that
is
nowhere
near
what
what
affordable
housing
is.
So
I'm
sorry
sue.
I
absolutely
disagree
with
your
comments.
T
This
is
something
else
that's
going
on
here.
So,
besides
the
disruption
to
the
neighborhood,
I
think
the
neighbors
also
made
a
very
good
case
of
the
fact
that,
once
once
a
block
starts
turning
over
who's
going
to
want
to
live
there,
and
we
have
seen
that
case
not
only
in
fireworks
park
but
also
in
the
on
the
blocks
on
sherman
avenue.
All
you
have
to
do
is
go
over
there
and
talk
to
the
neighbors,
and
you
will
know
exactly
what
is
happening.
T
So
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
to
help
support
these
neighbors,
who
worked
so
hard
to
improve
their
houses
and
to
enjoy
living
there.
The
fact
that
sean
jones
brought
up
that
half
the
houses
were
not
compliant
with
our
one
zoning.
Well,
a
lot
of
that
is
the
fact
that
the
lots
are
less
than
7
200
square
feet.
They're.
H
T
Very
much
like
the
lots
in
northwest
evanston
that
are
zoned
r1,
but
are
less
than
70
200
square
feet.
So
we've
got
a
perfect
example
that
you
don't
have
to
be
7
200
square
feet
to
be
excluded
from
r1
zoning.
Regarding
the
northeast
stevenson,
historic
district.
I
was
one
of
the
authors
of
the
district.
I
know
this
district,
I
felt
I
have
photographed
every
single
structure
in
that
district
over
a
thousand
structures
between
emerson
on
the
south
and
sheridan
place
on
the
north.
T
I
know
every
single
one
of
them
and
this
block
is
incredibly
important.
This
is
a
historic
district
that
is
a
textbook
case
of
following
the
development
of
suburban
residential
districts
for
the
last
hundred
and
thirty
years,
and
and
I'm
happy
that
the
neighbors
are
proud
of
that
and
recognize
that,
because
we
should
recognize
it,
orrington
avenue
is
the
spine.
Orington
avenue
is
zoned
r1,
except
for
this
block
this
block
ought
to
be
zoned
r12.
We
ought
to
support
the
neighbors.
I
think
this
is
a
very
reasonable
request.
T
I
do
not
want
to
put
the
neighbors
in
a
position
of
having
to
fight
special
uses
and
wake
up.
Every
morning,
wondering
if
another
developer
is
going
to
show
up
and
be
applying
for
a
special
use
to
convert
a
formerly
single-family
home
into
a
two
or
three
flat.
That's
just
not
fair.
To
do
this.
Do
this
to
a
a
wonderful
neighborhood,
where
people
really
do
care
and
have
made
an
investment
in
our
community.
T
Finally,
it's
fine
for
people
to
make
money.
I
people
I
mean.
Obviously,
we
people
make
money
all
the
time,
but
this
is
to
have
absentee
landlords
in
your
neighborhood
renting
to
students,
and
I
can
share
with
you
the
photographs
that,
even
over
the
past
several
weeks
but
longer
than
that
on
on
these
properties
again
for
lincoln
fireman's
park,
sherman
avenue
and
now
orrington,
who
would
want
to
buy
and
live
there
and
invest
in
these
properties.
It's.
M
T
Very
very
serious
problem
that
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
even
going
further
down
the
road
as
as
a
committee,
but
for
right
now,
I'm
going
to
ask
for
your
support
to
rezone
this
r1.
U
Thank
you
so
much
to
consider
here
and
as
in
the
fifth
ward,
obviously
I'm
getting
the
complaints
from
the
firemen
park
neighbors.
So
there's
a
couple
things
one.
This
isn't
necessarily
affordable
housing.
U
The
business
model
that
is
advocating
here
obviously
are
not
going
to
be
affordable
units,
but
we
certainly
do
need
to
consider
equity
and
affordability
as
we
make
these
decisions.
I
think
some
time
ago
we
talked
about
having
a
like
a
city-wide
zoning
analysis
and
looking
at
it
at
a
more
comprehensive
level.
So
I
want
to
be
careful
that
we
don't
do
anything
to
restrict
the
expansion
of
affordability
throughout
the
city
instead
of
precedent
by
down
zoning
here.
U
But
we
do
need
to
do
more
to
respond
to
the
concerns
that
the
neighbors
have
in
this
area,
from
the
conditions
of
some
of
the
student
housing
and
the
lack
of
professionalism
and
attention
from
some
of
the
landlords
in
that
area.
U
T
Alderman
rainey,
is
it
all
right?
If
I
speak?
Oh,
please,
please
yeah!
I
I
hear
what
you're
saying
alderman
simmons.
T
What
we
have
before
us
is
is
the
structure
that
we
have
right
now
and
I
think
we
we
need
to
make
a
decision
on
this,
because
this,
the
zoning
ordinance
that's
before
us,
is
the
one
that
we're
being
presented
with
where
we
go
in
the
future.
With
the
discussion,
that's
a
larger
discussion
and
it's
a
it's
a
complicated
discussion
that
we've
started
and
we're
starting
again
tonight
with
the
accessory
dwelling
units
and-
and
you
know,
focusing
on
on
affordable
housing
and
and
all
of
those
things.
But
what
we
have
before
us
is.
T
We
have
people
who
are
making
decisions
of
properties
that
they
acquire
based
on
the
zoning
ordinance,
that's
in
front
of
them,
and
we
want
to
provide
the
protection
that
we
can
to
the
neighborhoods
and
and
especially
to
these
neighbors,
who
are
under
direct
threat
from
this.
This
is
so
it's
not
something
that
we
can
put
off
for
the
next.
T
T
But
right
now
the
important
thing
to
do
is
to
recognize
that
we're
dealing
with
the
zoning
ordinance
that's
in
front
of
us
and
to
make
the
the
correction
that
needs
to
be
made
this
at
this
moment
and
then
and
then
go
on
and
I'd
be
happy
to
talk
about
that
at
a
future
at
a
future
meeting.
I
think
we
need
to.
U
But
the
concern
here,
though,
alderman
fisk
really
is
that
and
understanding
the
decision
needs
to
be
made
to
protect
this
block
and
what
their
desires
are
for
their
lived
experience
on
their
block.
But
what
are
we
saying
for
the
rest
of
evanston
that
so,
if
they're
not
gonna
spread
to
that
block,
then
it's
okay,
that
they
go
further
west
into
fireman's
park
and
then
eventually
over
ridge.
U
I
think
that
we
need
to
address
the
concerns
that
we
have
with
the
type
of
housing,
the
types
of
landlords
and
then
even
look
at
what
is
the
need
for
housing
with
the
new
terms
of
housing
for
the
northwestern
students
and
mandatory,
you
know
on-campus
living.
How
does
all
of
that
play
in
be
as
we
make
this
decision?
Is
that
something
that
has
been
considered
and
I
didn't
watch
the
zoning
meeting.
So
I'm
sorry
you
what
I
did.
I
didn't
see
the
commission
meeting.
So
I'm
not
sure
what
any.
T
T
H
T
The
problem
in
firemen's
park
and
in
that
block
that
art
newman
was
referring
to
on
sherman,
was
that
so
many
of
the
properties
had
already
been
converted
to
multifamily
that
it
wouldn't
be
possible
to
down
zone.
T
At
that
point,
it's
the
the
the
mix
is,
is
just
you
know
too
great
and
that's
not
the
case
in
the
1900
block
of
orington,
and
I
would
be
the
first
one
to
you
know
say
to
folks,
in
my
opinion
of
watching
you
know,
meetings
over
a
long
number
of
years
and
watching
you
know
the
planned
commission
make
decisions
and
zoning
board
of
appeals,
and
things
like
that.
I
B
T
You
know
they
they
look
at
the
at
the
composition
of
the
of
the
area
and
that
even
comes
into
play
when
you
know
you're.
Looking
at
what
zoning
classification
should
be
applied
to
a
certain
area,
so
the
fireman's
park
neighborhood
is
different
and
the
21
200
block
of
of
sherman.
While
that
had
a
a
good
mix
of
single
family,
it
was
also
probably
50,
50
multifamily,
that's
not
the
case.
This
block
on
orington
has
been
a
single
family,
with
the
exception
of
the
apartment.
Building
on
foster
has
been
single
family
for
ever
so.
T
This
is.
This
is
a
different
situation
and
one
that
we
can
apply
the
argon
zoning
to
where
it
wouldn't
be.
It
wouldn't
be
applicable
in
in
other
neighborhoods,
but
to
there's
no
reason
that
we
can't
have
the
discussion
about
equity
and
zoning
and
all
of
that
going
forward.
If
we
made
this,
if
we
voted
to
make
this
r1
tonight,.
B
But
let
us
a
few
more
people
would
like
to
speak.
Is
it
for
introduction,
no
matter
but
no
matter
what
what
we
do
if
we
do
change
it
to
r1
the
current
problems
you
have
aren't
going
to
go
away
because
of
our
one
and
what
I'm
asking?
What
I
want
to
ask
is:
what
have
we
done
with
our
building
department
and
our
current
zoning?
What
have
we
done?
I
mean
it
sounds
like
we've
got
some
health
department
issues,
some
zoning
department,
building
department,
property
standard
issues,
I've
I've
been
inquiring
in
my
board
about
some
problems.
B
I've
got
we've
not
done
inspections
in
some
community
development
block
ban
areas
since
2015.
We
need
to
get
our
inspectors
out
there.
You
know
you
talk
about
hiring
some
environmental
people
to
go
out
and
and
do
some
adding
some
staff
there.
We
need
some
more
inspectors.
We
we
need
people
on
in
the
health
department
to
go
out
and
start
working
on
these
kind
of
problems.
B
T
Can
I
can
I
just
please
answer
your
questions
all
right,
just
quickly,
okay,
30
seconds,
to
answer
this
question,
here's!
What
is
going
to
happen
is
that
is
that
absentee
landlords
and
developers
tend
not
to
buy
in
r1
zones.
They
can
rent
out
houses
to
three
unrelated
persons,
but
they
cannot
rent
out
to
multi
multi.
T
B
T
Yeah,
no,
I
I
I
know
about
that,
but
it's
it's
going
to
give
it's
going
to
give
a
sense
of
bring
a
sense
of
calm
to
some
of
these
blocks,
where
you
have
investors,
basically,
circling
to
buy
houses.
A
Thank
you.
I
think
you
largely
covered
most
of
it.
It
is
an
important
issue
because
it
is
highly
an
existing
problem.
That's
involving
that's
evolving
into
something
else,
marine,
as
you
mentioned,
it
is
for
introduction.
So
this
gives
us
a
couple
of
weeks
to
both
hear
from
people
I've
heard
from
a
number
of
people.
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
get
back
with
all
of
those,
but
I
appreciate
the
input
I've
gotten
and
I
I
think
it
you
know.
However,
we
work
through
the
zoning
question.
A
There
are
a
number
of
other
things
that
we
need
to
be
doing,
so
this
is
a
more
complicated
problem
than
just
the
zoning.
I
I
hear
what
the
residents
are
saying
and
we
need
to
take
some
some
really
concrete
steps
here
to
address
this
and
make
sure
that
this
does
not
develop
into
an
even
worse
problem.
S
Well,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
do
support
this
because
when
you
look
at
the
map,
it
does
make
sense
that
this
block
br1
and
I
do
understand
the
neighbors
there
who
are
who,
as
as
they
said
this
is
a
once
this.
The
the
first
domino
falls.
S
Then
then
it
you
know,
then
the
whole
block
goes-
and
I
do
remember
the
2100
block
of
sherman
very
well
when
it
was
a
mixture
of
single
families
and
two
families,
and
it
saddens
me
to
realize
that
that
a
number
of
the
people
who
are
when
they've
moved
out
and
those
those
places
are
no
longer
houses
that
a
family
or
even
two
families
would
necessarily
want
to
live
in.
So
I
agree
with
alderman
rainey.
This
is
this
problem.
Is
you
know
an
inspector
problem?
I
think
we
need
to
bring
northwestern
in.
S
I
know
this
has
been
an
issue
that
has
always
been
a
concern,
but
you
know
I
I
think
we
need
to
see
how
we
can
make
northwestern
be
more
responsible
and
also
really
get
our
inspectors
in
there,
so
that
houses
don't
look
like
what
the
attorney
was
showing
us.
You
know
you
know
that
that
neighborhood
is
especially
around
fireman's
park
and
north
on
maple.
S
Those
were
all
wonderful
single-family
homes
in
the
past
and
now
they're
just
filled
with
students,
and
the
price
of
them
is
beyond
what
what
a
single
family
can
afford.
So
I
I
support
the
the
rezoning
here,
but
we
really
really
need
to
step
up
our
enforcement
and
go
after
these
absentee
landlords,
because
why
should
they
be
allowed
to
own
a
property
in
our
community
and
allow
it
to
become
blighted?
S
U
So
my
my
last
comments
on
it.
You
know
being
the
fireman's
park,
neighbors
I'm
committed
to
addressing
this,
and
we
have
not
been
able
to
get
the
right
mix
of
northwestern
accountability,
student
awareness
and
our
own
enforcement,
and
so
I'm
disappointed
that
it's
taken
this
zoning
request
for
us
to
maybe
all
get
together
and
figure
out
how
we
can
enforce
this.
But
I
believe
that
it's
been
more
isolated,
habitual
problem,
land
owners
that
need
to
be
addressed,
whether
we
address
them
with
nuisance
premise
or
whatever
other
infras
infrastructure
or
tool.
U
We
have
through
our
zoning
department
or
the
health
department.
But
we
need
to
get
very
serious
about
that
because
it's
not
fair
to
the
neighbors.
But
I
also
want
to
be
careful
that
we
don't
look
at
zoning,
because
racism
is
embedded
still
in
our
zoning
policy
and
that,
if
you
I
don't
know
if
you've
read
the
color
law.
But
it's
a
great
reference
to
understand
more
about
how
we
still
sustain
our
segregation
and
other
disparities
through
zoning.
U
But
I
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
advance
this,
when
it
comes
to
action
that
we
are
doing
more
to
address
the
real
issues
and
the
frustrations
that
are
really
valid,
that
is
very
frustrating
for
me
and
I'm
sure
automate
this-
that
we
can't
get
this
right,
that
the
the
handful
of
habitual
problem,
land
land
owners,
aren't
being
aren't
being
enforced
or
fined
or
held
accountable
to
uphold
their
property
standards
and
that
northwestern
can
do
more.
U
So
I
understand
this
is
just
for
introduction,
but
I
just
want
to
ask
everyone
to
think
very
seriously
about
our
commitments
to
equity
and
racial
healing
and
inclusion,
and
what
our
neighborhoods
look
like
as
we
consider
this
zoning
change.
B
No,
I
I
agree
all
right
in
the
meantime,
those
of
us
who
have
questions
regarding
these
properties,
who
are
not
in
the
first
ward.
We
should
get
our
questions
answered
like
I'm
very
interested
in
knowing
how,
when
they
were
all
last
inspected,
are
they
all
registered?
You
know,
are
there
police
calls
there
fire
calls?
Those
are
the
kinds
of
things
we
need
to
know
about
to
find
out
if
they
are
eligible
to
be
nuisance,
premises
right
yeah.
B
So
if
I
saw
that
the
chief
is
on,
we
could
get
some
of
that
information
from
him
and
some
from
you,
ms
snyden,
okay
right,
so
there's
a
motion
and
a
second
should
we
take
a
vote
now?
Is
everybody
finished
commenting
right
all
those
we
need
a
roll
call
yeah.
D
B
For
those
listening,
this
was
a
vote
to
refer
this
to
committee
for
to
the
council
for
introduction.
So
all
right,
so
moving
on
next
item
is
p4,
which
is
ordinance
8020,
granting
a
special
use.
B
The
zoning
board
of
appeals
and
staff
recommend
adoption
with
conditions
of
ordinance
8020,
granting
a
special
use
for
a
cannabis
transporter
mja
chicago
llc
is
the
name
in
the
c1
commercial
district
located
at
1701
howard
street.
The
applicant
has
complied
with
all
the
zoning
requirements
and
meets
all
standards
for
special
use
for
this
zoning
district.
I
move
approval.
B
U
B
All
right,
I
will
give
you
some
background.
What
I
know:
701
howard
street,
is
kind
of
a
famous
location,
it's
commonly
known
as
bz
auto
repair.
You
might
have
heard
of
it.
It's
been
in
the
family
that
owns
bz
for
over
40
years.
The
applicant
is
a
social
justice,
application
for
a
transporter
cannabis
license
and.
B
There
is
no
license
as
of
yet,
as
you
know,
the
transporter
and
the
craft
grower
and
the
infuser
and
the
producer
licenses
did
not
get
released
when
the
other
licenses
recently
got
released.
So
anyway,
they
just
wanted
to
get
approved
in
case
they
are
released,
he's
an
applicant,
so
a
transporter
license
is
probably
one
of
the
lowest
least
least
cannabis
involved
licenses.
B
B
It
says
in
the
report
and
these
fans
will
show
up
in
the
morning
at
eight
o'clock
and
they
will
be
dispatched
to
wherever
the
product
is
and
they
will
go
and
pick
up
the
product
and
deliver
it
to
wherever
the
the
requester
is
the
sen
the
seller
is
or
the
infuser
is,
and
that's
what
they'll
do
and
there
will
never.
It
is
not
allowed
by
law
for
the
transporter
facility
to
ever
have
cannabis
the
product
on
its
property.
B
That
vehicle,
when
it
is
in
the
driveway
or
in
the
maintenance
area
or
in
the
garage
area,
must
never
ever
have
cannabis
in
in
the
vehicle.
So
it's
to
pick
up
and
deliver
that's
it.
There
is
tremendous
requirement
for
security
and
people
at
the
at
the
public
hearing
wanted
to
know.
Why
was
that,
if
they
weren't
going
to
have
any
cannabis
and
the
requirement
for
security
for
all
licensees,
no
matter
what
the
license
is
for
was
pretty
similar,
the
legislators
wanted
everybody
to
have
a
lot
of
security.
B
So
that's
why
they
have
to
have
a
lot
of
security
and
it's
from
eight
to
eight
and
they're
going
to
renovate
the
station.
You
know
it's
pretty
nasty,
looking
place
and
they're
going
to
improve
the
location
and
the
person
at
the
hearing
that
was
most
supportive
of
it
was
the
person
who
lives
immediately
behind
busy
because
she
said
it's
going
to
really
improve
the
facility
and
also
everybody
that
lives
right
near
bz
has
always
been
a
friend
of
busy.
B
I
mean
because
bz
has
always
taken
care
of
its
neighbors
with
one
exception,
and
that
was
the
payton
family
who
lives
across
the
street.
They
have
problems
with
snow
removal,
but
other
than
that
people
are
all
I
used
to
be
a
neighbor
of
1701..
I
lived
at
1707
dobson
for
almost
30
years,
and
you
know
they're
just
good
people
and
so
we're
hoping
that
they
get
a
license,
but
as
of
right
now,
they're
in
line
waiting
with
all
the
others
who
have
not
yet
been
notified.
B
B
B
Yeah
yeah,
it's
not
it's
not
intense.
You
know
people
aren't
going
to
be
lying,
nobody
is
going
to
be
coming
there
for
any
product.
The
only
people
that
will
be
there
will
be.
You
know,
office
people,
the
drivers
and
the
the
dispatcher.
That's
that's
all
nobody
will
be
coming
there
to
purchase
anything.
B
Okay,
so
hearing
nothing.
No,
nobody
else
want
to
comment
all
right.
So
we'll
call
the
question
all
those
in
favor.
We
need
a
roll
call
right.
Okay,
oh.
C
Alderman
hi
alderman
wynn
has
left
the
meeting
alderman
wilson,
hi
alderman
mary
simmons
aye
alderman
suffered
him.
B
All
right
next
item
is
ordnance
86.0020
amending
title
vi
of
the
evanston
city
code
to
create
accessory
dwelling
units
adus
and
to
revise
the
calculation
of
building
lot
coverage.
I
move
introduction
second
comments.
Alderman
wilson,
did
you
raise
your
hand.
D
Oh,
I
just
will
express
my
strong
support
for
this.
I
think
it's
opens
up
a
nice
array
of
opportunities
for
more
auxiliary
dwelling
units
of
all
types
and
opportunities
for
affordable
housing
and
mortal
housing
options
for
our
community.
I
think
it's
a
great
step
forward.
U
Admin
simmons.
In
the
sake
of
time,
I
want
to
say
that
I
support
everything.
Darian
halligan
said
in
his
public
comment,
robinson,
marcus
and
everyone
else
that
has
been
in
support.
This
is
absolutely
an
opportunity
to
build
well
sustain
seniors
to
age
in
place,
create
healthy
families
and
communities
and
so
on,
and
I
am
a
sandwich
generation
member.
So
I
have
experience
with
all
of
the
above.
A
C
Yes,
the
item
for
communication
mobility
in
the
time
of
covid,
which
was
an
update
on
our
transportation
mobility
work
in
light
of
the
pandemic
and
some
other
transportation
issues
will
be
held
until
the
next
meeting.
Given
the
hour
at
this
point
and
moving-
and
you
still
have
a
full
council
meeting
ahead.
B
All
right
all
right,
all
right,
so
we're
ready
to
adjourn
right.
Would
somebody
like
to
move
adjournment.
Alderman
wilson,
you
look
like
an
adjoiner.
