Monday: July 21 at 6:30 pm. Evanston's 20 Year Comprehensive Plan -Envision --City Council Meeting

What's at Stake:

· Elimination of single family residential neighborhoods
Do you want single-family housing (32% of current housing stock) to be upzoned allowing 2 to 4-unit buildings to be constructed on these lots and increase neighborhood density?

· Increased Population Density
Do you want Evanston’s population to increase by 8,000- 20,000 people?

· Displacement of Current Residents by Gentrification
Are you concerned that Evanston residents in lower-priced areas would be displaced? Developers already are seeking purchase options on properties that could be upzoned to build multiple expensive residences.

· High Rise Residential Buildings in Small Business Districts
Do you want 7- to 10- story residential buildings in small business districts, such as Chicago Ave., Dempster, Main, Noyes and Central Streets?

· No Height Restrictions for Downtown Buildings
Do you want to allow more new downtown developments with no restrictions on height, allowing buildings 30- 40 stories tall — or even more?
