AN ORDINANCE
Granting the Appeal of the City of Evanston
and First National Building Corporation for
a Variation from the Off -Street Parking
Regulations of the Evanston Zoning Ordinance,
Adopted November 21, 1960.
WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of Appeals of the City of
Evanston held a public hearing on April 16, 1968 on the appeal
of the City of Evanston and the First National Building Corpora-
tion for a variation from the off-street parking regulations of
the zoning ordinance to permit the construction of a drive-in
banking facility and banking space; and
• WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of Appeals found that if the
variation is granted the essential character of the locality,
being a B5 Business District, will not be substantially altered
in character; and
WHEREAS, the property in question cannot yield a reason-
able return to the owner due to the unique circumstances that a
proposed drive-in banking facility, which is designed to eliminate
customer parking will in fact take the space necessary for customer
parking as required by the zoning ordinance of the City of Evans-
ton; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of Appeals of the City of
Evanston has determined that the proposed variation will not
impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property
Ops
•
or substantially increase the danger of fire or otherwise endanger
the public safety or appreciably diminish or impair property
values within the area; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of Appeals of the City of
Evanston has determined that the granting of the variation will
not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to or
depreciate the value of other property or improvements in the
neighborhood in which the property is located; and
WHEREAS, the Zoning Board of Appeals of the City of
Evanston found that the physical surroundings of the specific
property involved brings a particular hardship upon the owner
• as the said petitioner bank does not own the building which stands
between the bank and the property to the south, which property
is owned by the City of Evanston, but that an exchange is con-
templated between itself and the City of Evanston:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
