COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
After over a century of growth, -Evanston has essentially developed all of its vacant land. Yet
because Evanston has remained a desirable place in which to live, to be educated, and to do
business, it has continued to grow and engage in self -renewal. Most of the basic patterns of land
use and circulation are well established following decades of growth with periodic reexamination
and revisions of zoning ordinances, comprehensive general plans and other policy documents.
Since Evanston has been a fully developed community for many years, current development
objectives must emphasize conservation, restoration, and replacement of existing physical
amenities, while at the same time providing additional services to businesses. Planning for
Evanston's future involves selective change with emphasis upon improving the quality of the
urban environment.
LONG-TERM OBJECTIVES
The City's current Comprehensive General Plan outlines a series of objectives which serve as a
policy framework for guiding Evanston's development decisions. Long-term goals and objectives

OBJECTIVES: Establish an ongoing dialogue and working relationship between tze
City and Evanston institutions and neighborhood organizations.
Preservation
GOAL: Identify, protect and renovate those structures, landscapes, and

The aforementioned objectives are to be achieved by utilizing several local and federal fund"-g
mechanisms, one of which is the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). Other funding
includes motor fuel tax, general obligation bonds, special assessments and the City's general
fund. Through the CDBG program, many of these objectives can be achieved; however, CDEG
funds are limited both in quantity and in the types of activities that are appropriate to to
national goals of community development. Due to increasing demand locally for CDBG monies
and uncertain future entitlement grant levels, short-term objectives are set to best utilize
funding in the next few years.
SHORT-TERM OBJECTIVES
Keeping with the format set above for clarity and consistency, the City's Comprehensive General
Plan will also be used to classify the short-term objectives for the Community Development,
Block Grant program. These objectives constitute the revitalization strategy of benefiting icy
and moderate income persons and improving areas with blighted conditions. In developing a
38Y6
-45-
revitalization strategy, the City followed three major steps: (1) analysis of the Comprehensive
General Plan, Capital Improvement Program, Annual City Budget and other City reports outlining
needs and objectives; (2) solicitation of comments from the public through letters, newspaper
notices and cable television programs; and (3) holding a public hearing to allow comments and
suggestions to be publicly heard.
The following short-term objectives narrow the Plan's long-term objectives to activities which
are generally eligible and appropriate under the Community Development Block Grant program.
These objectives are meant to reflect specific activities which could be planned within the next
three years, which can be accomplished under the CDBG program and which match the goals of
the City.
