  • City of Evanston Local Reparations

    Evanston, IL
    Proposal

    In December 2020, the City of Evanston's Reparations Subcommittee recommended that the City Council discuss a proposed restorative housing program as part of the city's local reparations initiative. The proposal drew on N'COBRA and NAARC definitions of reparations as a process of repairing and restoring communities harmed by institutional injustice, emphasizing that remedies must be defined by those who suffered the harm and managed through independent structures. The city had established the Reparations Fund in November 2019 with $10 million in funding from a 3% Municipal Cannabis Retailers' Occupation Tax, tasking the Reparations Subcommittee with conducting a feasibility study on housing assistance programs and economic development opportunities for Black residents to address historical wealth and opportunity gaps.

  • Memorandum To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council CC:

    Evanston, IL
    Proposal

    On February 24, 2020, the Plan Commission recommended denial of two ordinances (29-O-20 and 30-O-20) proposing creation of a new R5a General Residential zoning district and rezoning of approximately 85 parcels north of Emerson Street. The rezoning was intended to reduce height limits in the area to better align with existing lower-height residential buildings and prevent creation of nonconforming uses, though the area has been zoned for similar height and density since at least the 1960s. The matter was forwarded to City Council for introduction.
