proposed R.esolyutio�18-R-70 as introduced and amended, as follows:
"WHEREAS the Evanston City Council is on record in support of the
stimulation of privately -sponsored low income housing as a major
priority of public policy; and
• WHEREAS the site commonly known as the Marywood property represents
one of the largest undeveloped residential tracts likely to be avail-
able in Evanston; and
WHEREAS the Evanston City Council recognizes the contributions of
public good made by the Sisters of Providence, and in no way wishes
to discourage the Sisters of Providence from realizing their justly
earned and richly deserved benefit from the Marywood property.
BE IT RESOLVED THAT it is the sense of the Council that it is anxious
to see a mix of law income housing developed on said property providing:
1. the Project is so designed that its appearance including
landscaping and structural grouping and types, are
aesthetically pleasing and consistent with surrounding
" uses; and
2. The project is so designed as to provide open space and
recreation space consistent with Evanston's goals.
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT it is the sense of the Council that the
commitment of the City to controlling density and the ultimate size of
the City, will preclude the development of the Marywood site at any
greater density than the present R5 for any residential purpose other
than the high priority purpose of providing a mix of low income
housing."
