Council adopts final plat for Uinta Senior Center addition, clearing way to separate former Memorial Hospital
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 25-72 approving the final plat for the Uinta Senior Center addition, which splits the former Memorial Hospital building and the senior center onto separate lots; staff recommended approval and noted the lots meet minimum public zoning lot-size requirements.
The Evanston City Council adopted Resolution 25-72 to approve the final plat for the Uinta Senior Center addition, a subdivision that separates the former Memorial Hospital building (proposed Lot 1) from the adjacent senior center (proposed Lot 2).
Mister Jacobson presented the plat, noting Lot 1 (the Memorial Hospital building) would be about 16,681 square feet and Lot 2 (the senior center) about 17,373 square feet, both above the public zoning district minimum of 6,000 square feet. Jacobson explained the buildings are currently nonconforming with respect to setbacks but are grandfathered and may remain until altered or destroyed; the plat includes easements for access and lawn maintenance, and city water and sewer services will remain in place. City subdivision review and staff recommended approval, and the council voted to adopt the resolution by voice vote.
Councilors asked clarifying questions about existing lot lines and the practical effect of the subdivision; Jacobson explained the plat cleans up lot boundaries so each building sits on its own lot and indicated a minor subdivision will be recorded to finalize the lot configuration.
The action does not itself authorize demolition or sale beyond the property-line adjustments described in the plat; subsequent property transactions or demolition would follow applicable code requirements and review.
