any
of

us
on
agenda
items,
could
you

We
don't
have
anyone
currently
signed
in
for
anything.
So,
okay,
okay,
then
we're
going
to
continue
start
our
agenda.
As
I
said,
this
is
planning
a
development
committee
meeting.
It's
Monday
July
23rd
2018,
it
is
approximately
7:10
p.m.
we
do
have
a
quorum,
and
the
first
item
on
the
agenda
is

of
regular

Okay.
The
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
p1.
It's
the
vacation,
rental
license
for
2001,
orange
and
Avenue
city
staff
recommends
approval
of
a
vacation
rental
license
for
the
property
located
at
2001
or
inton.
The
vacation
rental
meets
all
of
the
standards
and
procedures
for
license
approval
following
public
comment
at
the
Planning
and
Development
Committee,
and
in
a
neighborhood
meeting,
a
Memorandum
of
Understanding
has
been
drafted
to
address
concerns
from
neighboring
property
owners.
A
A
This
is
in
my
ward.
I
would
like
to
thank
the
ket
ursins
for
their
willingness
to
meet
with
the
neighbors
and
it
like
to
ask
the
neighbors
for
being
such
a
positive
group,
and
we
all
came
away
very
happy,
I
think
with
the
outcome.
So
we're
happy
for
this
to
go
forward.
So
all
of
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay,
p2
is
a
vacation
rental
license
for
615
Central
Street
city
staff
recommends
approval
of
a
vacation
rental
license
for
the
property
located
at
6:15.
A
D
E
D
Well,
given
that
we
haven't
really
made
a
decision
among
our
council
members
about
whether
we
want
to
have
these
kinds
of
restrictions
for
owner-occupied
or
something
I,
I'd
say
we
could
go
ahead
and
grant
this.
It's
a
one-year
license.
Okay,
but
then
later
this
late
later
this
evening,
we're
gonna
be
talking
about.
You
know,
making
some
kinds
of
additional
right
recommendations.
A
Okay,
anyone
else
comment:
okay,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed.
Alrighty
p3
is
ordinance
for
to18
amending
subsection
six
four
one,
nine
be
one
of
the
city
code,
permitted
obstructions
and
required
side
yards
general
provisions.
The
plan,
Commission
and
staff
recommend
approval
of
ordnance
for
to18
to
amend
the
zoning
ordinance
to
reduce
the
required
front
yard
setback
for
open
porches
in
order
to
allow
front
porches
with
a
usable
depth
without
the
need
for
zoning
relief
and
that's
for
introduction
there.
A
motion.
F
A
All
righty
p4
is
ordinance.
81,
o
18,
granting
major
zoning
relief
to
establish
a
third
dwelling
units
in
an
existing
two
family
residence
in
1822,
Lyons
Street
city
staff
and
the
Zoning
Board
of
Appeals
recommend
adoption
of
ordinance,
8080
100
18,
granting
major
zoning
relief
to
establish
a
third
dwelling
unit
in
an
existing
two
family
residence
in
the
are
four
general
residential
district.
The
applicant
requests
relief
for
lot
size
lot
width
and
to
add
zero
parking
spaces
where
two
additional
parking
spaces
are
required.
A
B
The
applicant
purchased
the
property
and
it
was
already
three
units
he's
gone
through
the
process
to
legalize
the
third
unit
has
been
compliant
and
cooperative
and
he
is
agreeing
to
keep
one
of
the
three
units
as
an
affordable
unit
and
we
need
more
affordable
units
in
the
community.
So
I'm
asking
support
for
this.
Okay.
B
A
C
This
firehouse
grill
is
a
terrific
restaurant.
It's
recently
changed
ownership.
The
menu
is
different
and
this
has
been
a
neighborhood
restaurant
for
a
long
time.
This
is
an
example
of
readapted
reuse.
This
was
once
a
City
firehouse.
Then
it
was
one
of
the
first
Subaru
dealerships
in
the
United
States
and
now
it's
a
terrific
restaurant
and
so
I
would
also
request
that
we
suspend
the
rules
tonight
and
and
I
would
request
action
on
this
at
the
council.
F
C
Actually
I
apologize,
I
bet,
I
misread
that
so
I
just
urge
all
my
colleagues
to
support
this,
because
I
think
this
is.
This
has
really
been
an
asset
to
the
community.
There.
A
Okay,
anyway,
anyone
else
want
to
comment
all
right.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
already.
P6
is
ordinance.
76
Oh
18
granting
a
special
use
for
a
type
2
restaurant
reprised,
Coffee
Roasters
at
710,
Main
Street,
the
Zoning
Board
of
Appeals
and
city
staff,
recommend
adoption
of
ordinance,
76
Oh
18,
granting
a
special
use
approval
for
a
type
2
restaurant
reprise,
Coffee
Roasters
in
the
b2
district
and
ODM
Dempster
main
overlay
district.
The
applicant
has
complied
with
all
zoning
requirements
and
meets
all
of
the
standards
of
a
special
use
for
this
district.
A
B
G
A
G
A
F
A
D
C
A
B
B
C
Understand
that
point,
how
would
all
memory
Simmons?
How
would
we
avoid
having
someone
who
actually
is
an
Evanston
reson
resident
but
like
meaning
they
own?
They
own
several
properties
here
in
Evanston,
and
perhaps
they
reside
here
for
some
of
the
year,
but
they're
gone
for
a
lot
of
the
year,
because
I
agree.
If
someone
is
a
resident
and
they're
there,
they
own
two
properties
next
door
to
each
other
and
they
want
to
rent
the
the
one
next
to
them,
so
they're,
essentially
around
and
on-site
and
available.
If
something
happens.
B
That
could
be
the
case
for
an
owner-occupant
of
the
it.
You
said
that
you
could
be
unholstered
on
hosted
vacation
rental.
That
could
be
the
case
that
they
could
be
in
Florida
or
Arizona
for
six
months,
while
they
are
renting
out
their
home
as
a
vacation
rental.
So
the
feedback
that
I've
heard
from
the
community
are
actually
absentee
landlords
that
are
out
of
state
and
not
managing
their
property
and
having
poor
behaviors
from
the
clients
or
right
exactly
right.
C
B
F
Of
the
very
worst
landlords
we
have
in
the
city
of
Evanston,
who
owns
probably
as
many
properties
as
any
other
person
in
the
city
of
Evanston
lives
in
Skokie.
So
you
know
that
somebody's
going
to
be
out
of
town
for
a
few
months
is
who
normally
lives
in
Evanston.
I,
don't
think,
is
a
criteria
to
worry
about
somebody
not
taking
care
of
their
property
or
it
just
it's
I,
don't
think
it's
a
valid
argument.
I
think
a
person
who
lives
away
like
an
individual
we
had
who
came
and
testified.
F
I
live
in
Reno,
Nevada
and
I'm,
not
here,
except
maybe
a
week
a
year.
That's
the
problem
yeah,
but
a
person
who
who
lives
here
was
registered
to
vote
here.
Who
has
his
full-time
home
here?
Who
vacations
a
lot
I
think
is
a
person
we
want
to
be
able
to
be
part
of
the
vacation
rental
community
here,
a
problem
with
that
I.
E
B
E
Mean
people
can
use
with
it.
That
would
be
the
Avenue
by
which
they're
advertising
like
do
they
want
to
advertise
in
the
Tribune
or
the
sun-times
or
with
the
relationship.
If
you
are
gonna
rent
your
home
out
when
you're
not
there
and
it's
gonna
be
for
a
period
less
than
30
days,
you
have
to
get
a
vacation
rental
license.
A
D
One
reason
that
we're
talking
about
this
I
think
is
because
we're
concerned
about
too
many
investors
scooping
up
properties
that
could
be
affordable,
housing
for
residents
in
Evanston,
and
so
it's
not
just
having
someone
who's
on
site
and
who's,
does
a
good
job
of
maintenance
or
is
taking
good
care,
making
sure
that
the
guests
are
behaving
themselves.
It's
also
because
we're
concerned
about
the
availability
and
affordability
of
our
housing
supply,
so
I
I
really
would
like
us
to
let
ask
staff
to
draft
some
language
for
us
that
would
allow
both
hosted,
sharing
and
unholstered
sharing.
D
And
probably
we'd
have
to
put
in
some
kind
of
requirement
that
where
they
demonstrate,
you
know
that
they're
actually
Evanston
residents
in
that
in
that
property,
and
we
we
could
talk
about
number
of
a
cap
on
the
number
of
nights.
If
we're
I
mean
they're,
there
whole
host
of
things
we
can
talk
about,
but
but
that
would
be
where
I'd
start.
F
Yes,
I
think
the
more
difficult
we
make
it.
The
more
frequent
you'll
find
people
who
are
not
going
to
register
people
will
try
to
fly
under
the
radar.
If
we
make
it
too
complicated
or
just
too
complicated
I,
don't
think
it
has
anything
to
do
with
the
fee.
We
charge
it'll
be
how
how
much
we
what
we
require
of
them,
then
they
won't
register.
E
For
you
who
I
would
I
would
highlight
the
memo
in
I
mean
I,
think
we're
I'm
understanding.
We
want
some
make
sure
that
preserve
that
we're,
preserving
a
relationship
with
the
owner
of
the
property
to
Evanston
Illinois,
and
not
just
a
visit
here
and
there
that
there
has
to
be
a
stronger
connection
so
that
we
can
work
with
that.
E
I
guess
I
would
look
for
some
additional
guidance
if
you
want
to
do
if
you
want
us
to
pull
together
something
that's
based
on
the
sources
I
cited
on
limits
to
the
number
of
rental
nights
for
a
particular
property
in
a
calendar
year
or
if
there's
another
minimum
number
of
stage
four
nights
or
just
start
with
owner
occupancy
and
go
from
there.
I.
F
E
Don't
think
it
takes
three
or
four
months
I
think
we
received
the
application,
we
do
our
follow-up
and
we
try
to
get
them
on
the
next
I
think
what
we're
trying
to
respond
to
is
they
from
the
council
and
the
process
by
which
they're
being
reviewed,
they're
they're,
sending
a
note
to
the
neighbors
we're
trying
to
notify
aldermen
before
it
comes
to
council.
But
then
the
neighbors
have
some
concerns
and
then
we're
responding
to
those
particular
concerns
on
a
one-off
basis
for
particular
pieces
of
that
property.
So.
A
A
Yes,
City
Council
will
begin
at
ten
minutes
at
twenty
to
eight
I
need
to
remind
everybody,
there's
no
standing
in
this
room.
If
you
can't
find
a
seat,
you
need
to
go
out
into
the
anteroom
and
we
may
have
television
cameras
set
up
in
some
room
2404.
But
you
can't
stand
in
this
room
because
we'll
have
the
fire
marshal
in
here.
Ok,.
