RESOLUTION
(Revised)
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Evanston, Illinois,
knows that the future of Evanston and the metropolitan area as a
viable, diversified, desirable community is dependent on the
creation and implementation of area -wide planning for land use;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Evanston, Illinois,
feels the need of such planning to help remedy the bad effects
of uncoordinated land use and zoning of various municipalities
in the metropolitan area, which result in inequitable distribution
of tax revenue, resources and exclusionary zoning which has pre-
vented the
building
of housing
for
lower income people near the
V
sources of
new jobs
created on
said
suburban sites; and
WHEREAS, the Congress of the United States of America
recognizes the need for state-wide and metropolitan area land use
plans to aid communities in becoming diversified, viable and desir-
able, a goal to which the City of Evanston, Illinois has demon-
strated its commitment and encourages action towards such end:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of
the City of Evanston, Illinois, does hereby urge passage of such
land use policy legislation by the Congress of the United States
of America; and to that end is sending copies of this resolution
to each of its Congressmen and Senators.
