(P1) Resolution 19-R-17, Authorizing the City Manager to Sign a Disconnection Petition for City Property to be Removed from Skokie Park District Territory Staff recommends that City Council approve Resolution 19-R-17 authorizing City participation in the disconnection petition circulated by private property owners in Evanston from the Skokie Park District. For Action
(P2) Resolution 27-R-17, Adopting an Amendment to the Downtown Plan to Add Additional Property Subject to the Downtown Plan to Guide Future Land Use Decisions and Planning Plan Commission and staff recommend adoption of Resolution 27-R-17 amending the 2009 Downtown Plan to add five new subareas covering the geographic area roughly between Emerson Street to the south, Foster Street CTA Station to the north, the first north/south alley west of Sherman Avenue to the east, Maple Avenue to the west and properties on the north side of Emerson Street between Maple Avenue and Ridge Avenue. For Action
(P3) Ordinance 8-O-17, Amending Portions of the City of Evanston Zoning Code Regulating Micro-Distilleries The Plan Commission and staff recommend adoption of Ordinance 8-O-17, amending the Zoning Code’s permitted and special uses within a number of the Business, Commercial and Industrial Zoning Districts relating to micro-distilleries. Based on feedback from the Plan Commission and staff research, staff is proposing to amend the zoning ordinance to change “micro-distillery” to “craftdistillery or micro-distillery”. This modification also aligns with terminology used in the state liquor control regulations. This terminology change would require updating the sections currently regulating business and commercial districts, which permit micro-distilleries as a special use. For Introduction
(P4) Ordinance 37-O-17, Granting Special Use Approval for a Planned Development with Rezoning and Special Use for a Convenience Store at 831 Emerson The Plan Commission and staff recommend adoption of Ordinance 37-O-17 for approval of the Planned Development with rezoning from C1 Commercial and R5- General Residential to C1a Commercial Mixed use and a Special use for a convenience store. The 9-story 242-unit residential building would include 3,300 square feet of ground floor commercial space and 174 parking spaces on site.
