The Evanston Housing and Community Development Committee met in a special session on Nov. 6 to take public comment and discuss two major items: a draft short-term/vacation rental ordinance and updates to the Housing for All strategic housing plan. Public commenters offered a mix of landlord and renter perspectives on just-cause eviction, short-term rental rules, ADUs and displacement. Committee members focused detailed discussion on definitions, caps, enforcement, geographic concentration, and the moratorium timing for short-term rentals; they asked staff for a revised ordinance. On the Housing for All draft the committee pushed staff to prioritize near-term, measurable actions, tie strategies to funding and implementation leads, and return with a more detailed, phased update.
