Business, Commercial & Industrial Areas: Church Street Plaza will promote the business characteristics
which have made Evanston strong while furthering the capacity of Evanston's business community to
contribl-te to the City's economic well being
1 The "Business, Commercial & Industrial Areas" chapter of the 1986 Comprehensive Plan makes the
following statements concerning the "strong and diversified economy ...essential to Evanston's tax
base and its ability to maintain quality." (p.23)"
a. Evanston is in the fortunate position of having achieved a balance ...employees commute to
Evanston as well as from it." (p.23)
b 'Small and medium sized businesses are especially important to the local economy. However,
because the can generate traffic , parking and other problems, their location and relationship to
other land uses has significance for planning." (p.9)
c. "Commercial districts play a vital role in sustaining the local tax base." (p.24)
d. a n=w opportunity is likely to be created to redevelop other areas with high-tech industry
gene.,ated by the research park envisioned by Downtown II." (p.25)
e. 'Economic growth means that new businesses will start to pay a share of local property taxes,
making the share for residential property owners a little less. Economic development also means
jobs for residents. Finally, expansion of the local economy demonstrates to those both inside and
outside of the community that Evanston is a dynamic city."
2. Church Street Plaza will maintain, enhance and develop these characteristics.
a. Church Street Plaza will result in an interwoven economic enhancement, developing:
b. jobs for occupants of existing housing and the housing developed as part of the project; and
c. commercial and entertainment venues to tap into the income stream produced by these jobs in
addition to diverting some of the spending of other Evanston residents to local businesses from
those in surrounding communities.
Central Business District: Church Street Plaza is designed to `enhance the economic vitality, physical quality
and diversity of services of downtown Evanston so that it will remain an attractive center of activity which
"serves the needs of Evanston residents, businesses, and users from surrounding areas" (p.32) by increasing
•the vital area of the central business district in a manner which complements and strengthens the traditional
downtown while attracting new users and residents.
1 Church .Street Plaza is designed to produce a compatible mix of land uses within itself and in
conjunction with the remainder of the downtown.
2 Church Street Plaza will expand the revenue generating and employment potential of downtown
Evanston through an expanded property tax base, increased sales or other tax revenues, and users
fees while expanding Downtown Evanston's job pool..
3. CSP will develop the Research Park in a manner which will harmonize with the aesthetic amenities of
the traditional Downtown.
(c) It will not cause a negative cumulative effect, when its effect is considered in conjunction
with the cumulative effect of various special uses of all types on the immediate
neighborhood and the effect of the proposed type of special use upon the City as a whole;
There is no special use of the character of the proposed development within Evanston. In the general vicinity
of Church Street Plaza are uses listed as special uses for their respective zoning districts, such as type 2
restaurants and religious institutions. however any effect which the proposal will have on these will be positive
as Church Street Plaza will generate new customers and clients for existing businesses and will enforce
interest in real estate within the central business district. While other shopping areas exist in Evanston.
Church Street Plaza will not have a negative effect on these as there will be a lack of competition with these
other commercial areas, and no adverse effect upon circulation patterns to them.
(d) It does not interfere with or diminish the value of property in the neighborhood;
Church Street Plaza will enhance the value of property in the neighborhood as it will result in vacant or near
vacant land within the Research Park being put to a more productive use. The project area is relatively
insulated from the surrounding properties to the east, west and south owing to the convergence of the Metra
and the CTA tracks and should only effect their values positively owing to the infusion of customers for these
•commercial destinations throughout the day. Additionally. Church Street Plaza will only have a positive effect
upon the values of properties to the north owing to the increased activity and interest the project will bring to
the Research Park. in addition to the amenities the project will contain for workers and residents in the north
portion of the Research Park
5 or 9 FOFF ZPC 99-2-Pp
(e) It can be adequately served by public facilities and services;
City staff have reviewed and will continue to review the project to ensure that it can be adequately served by •
public facilities and services to the maximum extent allowed by law.
(0 It does not cause undue traffic congestion;
City staff and consultants have analyzed the traffic and parking impacts of the proposal and have found that
the traffic and parking patterns resulting can be accommodated with mostly minor street improvements.
(g) It preserves significant historical and architectural resources;
Historic and architectural resources are absent from the project area. The applicants have developed the
program for the proposal to supplement and strengthen the character of the existing, historic, commercial
downtown east of the CTA tracks.
(h) It preserves significant natural and environmental features; and
The project area consists of developed land which either has or will be cleared of improvements. Natural
features are presently lacking. To the extent that the replacement of the existing sterile landscape with a
massing of elements, architecture. street furniture, and plantings which the applicant has crafted to produce
an enjoyable urban experience will encourage such maintenance and preservation throughout the City, the
proposal provides for environmental amenities.
(1) It complies with all other applicable regulations of the district in which it is located and
other applicable ordinances, except to the extent such regulations have been modified
through the planned development process or the grant of a variation.
The proposed development will comply with all requirements of the Research Park District except for the
following for which the applicant requests site development allowances.
