Envision Evanston 2045
The City of Evanston is beginning the next phase of Envision Evanston 2045 and will be working to update the Zoning Ordinance to align with the recently approved Comprehensive General Plan. The City recently released a Request for Proposals (RFP) to find a firm to support the zoning update. We received two proposals as part of the process. City staff will submit a recommendation based on the proposals received at the July 27th City Council meeting. It is up to the City Council which vendor they would like to select.
What is the Envision Evanston Zoning Update?
On January 26, 2026, the City Council adopted a new Comprehensive General Plan, which sets a shared vision and policy direction for land use and development through 2045. The Zoning Update is the process of revising Evanston’s zoning regulations and zoning map to reflect and support the new plan. In simple terms, this work helps ensure that the rules governing what can be built and where match the community’s long-term goals.
