Each hospital within 90 days of the close of its fis- cal year shall file an Annual Hospital Parking and • Patient Usage Report (hereafter: Annual Hospital Report) with the Director of Inspections and Permits. Such Annual Hospital Report shall disclose the actual use of all required parking spaces and data corresponding to the parking formula in Section 6-9-2-10(P)l, and average daily patient usage during the fiscal year. Such report shall be made under the supervision of the City of Evanston and shall be based on at least quarterly use counts. Such report shall show the actual number of parking spaces occupied during each hour of a typical day during the hours of 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. The analysis of the ade- quacy of parking spaces shall be based upon the comparison of actual use to the actual spaces available during the peak period (not to be less than one hour in duration). The report shall be specific as to the actual manner and method of such data preparation. • 3. Subsequent to the second fiscal year of the hospital beginning after October 1, 1979, the hospital shall pro- vide parking spaces sufficient to accommodate actual demonstrated parking need, as follows: The Director of Inspections and Permits, promptly upon receipt of the Annual Hospital Report, shall reduce or increase the number of required parking spaces as es- tablished by 6-9-2-10(P)l to equal the average actual use of the preceding fiscal year as reported in the Annual Hospital Parking Report, calculated in 6-9-2-10(P)2 plus 10% or one hundred (100) additional spaces, which- ever is less.

Each hospital may charge such parking fee as it determines desirable, notwithstanding any previous conditions attached to variations or special uses. 5. Parking spaces required by this ordinance for hospitals may • be located on a parking lot which is located more than 500 feet but not more than 10,000 feet from the hospital and which is accessory to another principal use, which use is not customarily open and operating Monday through Friday between 7:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M., provided that a satisfactory shuttle bus or comparable commuting arrangement is operating between the hospital and the parking lot and that suitable written contractual arrangement, approved by the Corporation Counsel of the City of Evanston exists for the use of such lot.

"6-12-9. HOSPITAL USES. 116-12-9-1. Statement of Purpose. Special use treatment of hospital uses is based upon recog- nition of the increasingly large scale of hospital and medical facilities, the intensity of use of regional hospitals, their vital service to the community and the impact that they have on the health, safety, and welfare of those who live in the residential neighbor- hoods within which all existing Evanston hospitals are located. This impact includes, but is not limited to, the physical scale of the structures, the variety and intensity of patient use, pedestrian and vehicular traffic, parking, emergency vehicles, and noise. Hospitals, because of their unique characteristics, cannot be properly allowed to Ismake significant expansions or changes in activity, exterior alterations to their facilities or related hospital services and programs without consideration in each case as to the impact on neighboring residential property. It is the purpose of this section to delineate the criteria and procedures by which hospital buildings and the uses therein, including -2- services and programs, may be altered or expanded. A further purpose is to conserve the taxable value of land and buildings in the Business and Commercial Districts where doctor's offices and clinics are presently and customarily located, and to conserve the value of property in the residential districts in which the hospitals are located.

Said Director shall give notice of such request for an additional hospital use to all occupants of property any part of which lies within 500 feet of the premises occupied by the applicant hospital. The Director of Inspections and Permits will determine whether the requested use requires special use approval under Section 6-12-9-2 or whether the use is within the exceptions set forth in Section 6-12-9-3 and/or Section 6-12-9-4. Notice of such determination shall be sent promptly to the Planning and Development Committee of the City Council, to the requesting hospital and to the occupants of property located within 500 feet of the hospital premises. Such determination shall be final unless an appeal is brought to the Zoning Board of Appeals from such determination within 30 days of the giving of such notice by the Director of Inspections and Permits. 116-12-9-6. Review by Zoning Board of Appeals. Changes in hospital buildings, uses, programs or offices re- quiring review by the Zoning Board of Appeals involve such special considerations of the public interest that specific standards and requirements are hereby established to govern the recommendations of the Zoning Board of Appeals and actions by the City Council to allow such uses in a manner which is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the Zoning Ordinance. • (A) Application Review and Hearing. An application for an addi- tional hospital use shall be filed with the Secretary of the Zoning Board of Appeals and processed in accordance with Section 6-12-7 (special uses) and shall be in such form and accompanied by such information as shall be established from time to time by the Board. Said application shall set forth at least the following information: 1. The location, dimensions and total area of the site affected. -15- 2. The location, dimensions, floor area, type of con- struction and use of each proposed building and structure. 3. The number, size and type of dwelling units, if any, in -each building and the overall dwelling unit density. • 4. The proposed treatment of open spaces and the exter- ior surfaces of all structures. 5. Means of ingress and egress; the number, location and dimensions of parking spaces and loading docks. 6. The proposed traffic circulation pattern within the area of the development, together with the location and, description of public improvements to be installed. 7. The location and purpose of any proposed dedication or easement. 8. The general drainage plans of the developed tract. 9. The location, dimensions and uses of (1) adjacent properties, (2) abutting public rights -of -way of easements, and (3) utilities serving the site. 10. Preliminary sketches of proposed structure(s) and landscaping., 11. Significant topographical or physical features of the tract. 12. A statement as to why the proposed hospital use will • not cause substantial injury to the value of other property in the neighborhood. (B) Required Findings: The Zoning Board of Appeals shall not recommend approval of, nor shall the City Council adopt, an additional hospital use unless they find that the standards governing special uses generally, and the following specific standards, have been satisfied: 1. That the proposed hospital use is compatible with the development allowed under the basic provisions of the Zoning Ordinance in the area in which it is proposed and it is not of such a nature in height, bulk or scale as to exercise any influence contrary to the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance as specifically set forth in Section 6-1-2 of the Evanston Zoning Ordinance. 2. That the proposed hospital use is compatible with and/or implements planning goals and objectives of the City, as contained in the Comprehensive General Plan and other pertinent policy resolutions particularly in terms of: (a) land use policy; (b) housing goals; (c) traffic impact and parking; • (d) impact on schools, public services and facilities; (e) essential character of the neighborhood; (f) any neighborhood planning goals consistent with the planning goals and objectives of the City; -16- (g) conservation of the tax value of land and buildings throughout the City of Evanston and retention of taxable land on the tax rolls. 3. That the proposed use of any office or examining rooms within the hospital by a physician for treatment of his or her private patients is required because such prac- tice or treatment is not feasible outside the hospital or is essential to the function of the hospital. 4. That the existing or proposed utility services are ade- quate for the proposed hospital use. 5. Exception: The Zoning Board of Appeals may recommend approval of and the City Council may adopt a needed additional hospital use notwithstanding a temporary existing or expected non-compliance with the off- street parking requirements in Section 6-9-2-10(P), so long as a plan is specified for compliance within a reasonable period of time. (C) Additional Requirements and Restrictions. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall report to the City Council its findings and re- commendations. The Zoning Board of Appeals may recommend, and the City Council may adopt, such additional conditions as are deemed necessary for the protection of the public interest, including dates for initiation and completion of the use."
