Who has input when a big developer moves into town? An introduction to City Bureau’s resource guide on Community Benefits Agreements and alternatives for Chicagoans By ALMA CAMPOS, SARAH CONWAY & PHOEBE MOGHAREI City Bureau

Editor’s Note: The following is an excerpt from City Bureau’s recently published 32-page guide containing original reporting, illustrations and information for Chicago residents about Community Benefits Agreements.

ut of years of reporting, research and relationships with community members, City Bureau has built “Will That New Development Benefit Your Community? The People’s Guide to Community Benefits Agreements and Alternatives” to inform, engage and equip Chicago residents to be active participants in the city of Chicago’s development process. In this guide, City Bureau explores pathways to equitable development and the tools that enable that work. We dig deep into Community Benefits Agreements (CBAs) and how they are created. We also provide case studies and speak to community residents, local organizations, legal experts and other people creating CBAs across the country.

CBA

A helpful guide from page 1 moves into a neighborhood? Southside Recycling (formerly known as General Iron), the MAT Asphalt plant and Amazon warehouses are just a few recently proposed or built real estate developments on the South and West Sides of Chicago. Aside from all being located in poor and working class neighborhoods of color, these developments also pose potential health risks. Other developments may not pose a health risk, but provoke fear of gentrification and eventual displacement. City Bureau has been reporting and documenting how developers and the city of Chicago engage community residents when developments come into South and West Side communities. Frustration with a lack of input into the development process—and a lack of quality news and information around this process—has been a top concern cited by City Bureau partners, program participants and sources for years. Residents often do not learn about new developments until after construction has commenced, which does not give people enough time to have a say about a development or negotiate terms that actually benefit them. Residents think that the overall development process is purposefully made complicated and inaccessible to them. Historically, this has resulted in environmental and health impacts, gentrification and displacement of people of color. In 2019, City Bureau hosted a Public Newsroom workshop in the East Garfield Park neighborhood to discuss how communities can have more input into local development. Several community leaders cited a Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) as a helpful framework and tool. A CBA is a legally binding contract between a developer and residents that includes commitments the developer will make to the neighborhood, in exchange for the community’s support. CBAs allow residents to advocate for their own interests by directly negotiating with developers and creating a mechanism for enforcing those commitments. Residents told City Bureau that they wished more information and skill-sharing opportunities were available around CBAs and other community development strategies. One of the nation’s first CBAs was created over 20 years ago when the Staples Center, now known as Crypto.com Stadium and best known for hosting the Los Angeles Lakers,

was proposed in Los Angeles. Madeline Janis was one of the lead negotiators representing community groups. She likens the scope of the development to the rehabilitation of Times Square in New York and notes that it would have razed mostly low-income housing in the area. “It was going to destroy a lot of people’s lives,” she remembers. At first, there was a big effort to stop the

active participants in the development process. This is not to say that CBAs are the solution for every type of development. We also spoke with experts about the challenges and alternatives to CBAs—for instance, passing laws that will ensure community input for all developments, or ways for communities to resist incoming developments entirely. We include a guest essay by Clifford Helm, attorney and CBA expert at Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights, who cites the need for big-picture reform at the city level, beyond project-by-project solutions like CBAs. The city as a whole needs to acknowledge the impact that racist and otherwise inequitable development have had in creating a tale of two cities in Chicago, he argues. “There have been policies and forces for hundreds of years that have tried to push us out of this country, push us out of our neighborhoods and push us out of existence,” says Christian Diaz, housing director of Logan Square Neighborhood Association and one of the organizers of Elevated Chicago’s Equitable Development Ambassadors program, which aims to educate residents about the development process and how to influence it.

What is a Community Benefits Agreement? Seven steps to making your own Community Benefits Agreement

By ALMA CAMPOS, SARAH CONWAY & PHOEBE MOGHAREI City Bureau

Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) is a legally binding contract between a community and a developer that includes commitments the developer will make to the neighborhood, in exchange for the community’s support. In essence, the CBA process is a negotiation between a developer and a community to create a plan to meet the community’s needs. It is not a way to prevent a development from being built. While a community should base a CBA on the needs of the collective group, common promises in a CBA include: ■ affordable housing requirements ■ living wage standards for employees ■ community services (or funding for these programs) ■ access to the space ■ workshops or job training programs ■ one-time payments to community groups or residents ■ hiring standards to ensure the workforce is local and made up of people of color and other disadvantaged workers, such as returning citizens.

In return, community members commit to support the development as well; for instance, they might agree to attend public meetings or help the company recruit staff and contractors. Local proponents of CBAs say that the city of Chicago has aggressively subsidized economic development that has disproportion-

ately benefited wealthy developers and corporations without protecting or benefiting communities of color and low-income residents. “A strong CBA can be an important counter-weight to an economic development approach that focuses on corporate profit while displacing Black and brown people,” says Ben Beach, legal director at Partnership for Working Families. According to the Partnership for Working Families, a successful CBA contract should include a roadmap for how the developer will achieve its goals and detail the consequences if they are not met. Since a CBA is a contract, if the developer doesn’t follow through, the community coalition could sue the developer for breach of contract.

What are the steps to creating a CBA? The process for setting up a CBA isn’t a one-size-fits-all scenario. We spoke with a few CBA veterans to create this list of key steps. (Thanks to Jawanza Malone, formerly of the Obama Community Benefits Agreement Coalition; Amalia NietoGomez, Alliance of the SouthEast and the Coalition for a South Works CBA; Mike Tomas, Garfield Park Community Council; Clifford Helm, Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights; and Kassie Beyer, Jobs to Move America; for their input).

the local community? Where and when is the development slated to open? Sometimes a developer is open to negotiating community benefits from the beginning, and they will proactively work with community groups to host meetings and create an agreement. But that’s pretty rare. In most cases, residents need to keep an eye out for new developments and initiate the CBA process. The best way to do this is to build relationships with your local alder’s office and community groups by showing up to events and engaging in person and on social media. Sign up for newsletters, including local news outlets. Not all projects are discussed by City Council, but you can stay up to date about some incoming developments by following the Chicago Plan Commission, Community Development Commission, Chicago Department of Planning and Development and Zoning Board of Appeals. Here residents can observe the deliberations over development proposals legislation that’s required for them to move forward. (Note: Documenters.org is a database run by City Bureau that collects all agendas, notes and other reporting on public government meetings.)

Step Two: Make the community’s initial list of demands Bring as much of the community together as possible. You might lean on networks that already exist (block clubs, community groups, local school councils) or do your own outreach via social media, attending local events, flyering and inviting folks you

know in the neighborhood. Share the information you’ve gathered about the development. Ask: Do people even want the development there in the first place? What measurable, permanent improvements do we want from the developer? Try to find common ground with your neighbors and note your shared interests and needs. This will help attract more people and build power within your community.

Step Three: Connect with other communities and form a coalition Reach out to existing organizations and networks to garner support outside your own bubble. Who else might be affected by this development? People in your original group might have contacts that you don’t have, and momentum from your first meetings might encourage people to attend who were not interested when you reached out originally. It’s critical to bring more people into the fold. The larger your coalition, the more pressure you can put on a developer and city officials to work with you. Now is also a good time to reach out to people who have already negotiated CBAs to share skills and resources.

Step Four: Strengthen your draft CBA with expert testimony and data Have an expert, such as public health and housing researchers, chime in. They can provide statistical data to back up the community’s arguments for what they are asking for, or for what they see as a threat.

Austin Weekly News, February 23, 2022

the end of the negotiation, the CBA needs to be signed by the developer and coalition partners. Signers should be determined by the CBA coalition.

Because a CBA is a legally binding contract, it’s important to reach out to civil rights attorneys who understand the legal language. Attorneys can help residents understand their rights, the development process, land use policy and zoning codes.

Step Seven: Monitoring and enforcement

Step Five: Form a negotiation team While forming a broad coalition is important, it helps to have a core group of community members who function as a steering committee and/or negotiation team. This group can include legal counsel and experienced negotiators to address legal issues, but it must be reflective of the community. Discuss and vote ahead of time on what you want this process to look like. Some community groups will prefer to negotiate first and bring in attorneys later to finalize the language, but if a developer negotiates through an attorney then community groups should include legal counsel throughout the process as well. (See bit. ly/cba_handbook for more information on negotiation teams.) Your team should strategize about which goals are most important to your coalition and which items to bring up earlier in the process. Some goals related to buildings and environmental concerns (affordable housing, size, environmental remediation,

ILLUSTRATION BY CORI LIN/CITY BUREAU

zoning changes, etc.) should be brought up first, ideally before permits and approvals are granted, and definitely before construction or site work begins. Other goals that deal with jobs and operations could be ongoing conversations that don’t face the same time crunch—though you could benefit from starting the conversation early. Either way, once the plans are approved by the city, they are much more difficult to change—and the members of the coalition may have significantly less leverage.

Step Six: Negotiate with developers This process varies wildly, depending on the willingness of the developer to work with the community. An initial conversation with a developer could be a simple information exchange that establishes communication lines. Here is where the negotiation plan and strategy, agreed upon by the coalition, will come in handy. CBAs often require a public campaign to draw attention to the development and put pressure on the developer. This could include social media messaging, protests and grassroots outreach to community members and possibly elected officials. At

If the community group is able to win a CBA, members of the coalition need to monitor the developer over time to make sure it is following through on its promises. There needs to be clear language in the CBA about who will be in charge of enforcing the agreement, the timeline for reaching specific milestones and accountability measures if the developer does not meet its commitments. There’s no template for what accountability should look like. However, it should be based on what the coalition asked for during negotiations.

The Hatchery Chicago: What does it mean to represent community? Building a broad-based coalition is one of the biggest challenges in creating a strong Community Benefits Agreement

By ALMA CAMPOS, SARAH CONWAY & PHOEBE MOGHAREI

City Bureau

n July 2017, then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office announced the plans for The Hatchery Chicago, a new food and beverage business incubator in East Garfield Park. The development eventually received a $7 million taxpayer subsidy, a dozen vacant lots valued at $150,000 (for which it paid $1) and $30 million in federal tax credits and grants. However, many residents said they did not know about the project prior to seeing construction underway on vacant lots on the corner of Lake Street and Kedzie Avenue in 2018. Informing community members ahead of construction is a perennial struggle for developers. “I don’t think you’re ever going to reach everyone in a neighborhood,” says Mary Fran

Riley, who is point person for community outreach for The Hatchery Chicago. She said they reached out to the Garfield Park Community Council (GPCC) initially because the development was slated for land that was previously used as the group’s neighborhood market. Eventually, the conversation led to a Memorandum of Understanding between the developers and GPCC that promised a job readiness program, job opportunities, free consulting and coaching for entrepreneurs, free and discounted kitchen use, a space inside the development for the Garfield Park Neighborhood Market and more. In turn, GPCC spread word on the project at block club meetings, through flyering, at monthly community meetings and through their website and social media, according to Riley. However, no other community groups signed onto the agreement, and some residents criticized the GPCC for not engaging

ILLUSTRATION BY CORI LIN/CITY BUREAU

with neighbors who were not active members of the council. Others said that it was the developers’ fault for not trying to engage with more groups. “Developers have a responsibility to the community to let residents know about a project ahead of time,” says Melvin Cox, a real estate broker and Garfield Park resident who

hosted one of the community meetings about the project in 2018. “[GPCC] has done good work and they’ve got great intentions … but I could quickly identify that they were put in a tight position. “At the end of the day, there was [an agreement] that was created as part of The Hatchery project that did not have any input from

Who’s Who in Local Government? These people and groups approve or oversee different parts of the development process, depending on the specifics of each project. Residents can contact these public officials to get more information and to voice their support or opposition to developments, and they can attend public meetings to share their views on the project during public comment. ■ The City Council member(s) who represent the ward(s) where the project is proposed — sometimes called aldermen or alderpeople, in this zine we will refer to them as alders. In committees and during a full City Council vote, alders often take their guidance from and vote with the alder of the ward on a development project; this is called aldermanic privilege. ■ City Council — is the legislative branch of the city of Chicago, consisting of alders elected from each of the city’s 50 wards. A full City Council vote is the final approval needed for development that are particularly large or complex, require zoning changes, are in special designated zones or otherwise trigger additional re-

quirements. ■ City Council’s Committee on Zoning, Landmarks and Building Standards — oversees all zoning legislation. Members vote on land use, zoning changes, building code ordinances and the designation, maintenance and preservation of landmarks after receiving recommendations from other departments and commissions. ■ Chicago Department of Planning and Development (DPD) — is the principal planning and development agency for the city of Chicago. The department oversees the city’s zoning and land-use policies, business and real estate development and housing, through entities including the following five key groups. • Chicago Plan Commission — reviews planned development proposals to make sure they are in line with the city’s urban planning laws and best practices. This may include Planned Developments (PDs), Master Planned Developments (Master PDs), the Lakefront Protection Ordinance, Planned Manufacturing Districts,

Industrial Corridors and Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts. Its activities largely involve zoning and its recommendations typically go to the City Council’s Committee on Zoning, Landmarks and Building Standards. • Chicago Community Development Commission — reviews and makes recommendations on the use of TIF to fund private redevelopment projects, the designation of new TIF districts and Redevelopment Areas and the sale of city-owned property located in TIF districts and Redevelopment Areas. • Committee on Design — a volunteer group of 24 architects and urban design professionals that advise DPD officials on urban design best practices for high-profile development projects and initiatives each month. • Chicago Zoning Board of Appeals — reviews land use issues that pertain to the Chicago Zoning Ordinance, such as proposed variations from the zoning code, special uses that require review to determine compatibility

with adjacent properties and appeals of decisions made by the Zoning Administrator. Their decisions are final and do not go to City Council for approval. • Commission on Chicago Landmarks — recommends buildings, structures, sites and districts for legal protection as official Chicago landmarks. It also reviews alterations to existing landmarks and districts and proposed demolitions. Developments that include historical or architecturally significant structures are reviewed here. ■ Department of Buildings — reviews building permit applications, scrutinizing the building plans to make sure they are safe and in accordance with municipal code. However, the public doesn’t have a say in this. It is done internally by experts at the Department of Buildings. ■ Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) — sets standards for industrial developments, monitors pollution and reviews permits of developments considered potentially toxic in Illinois.

What the city must learn from our CBA campaigns Communities of color have to fight every time a new development threatens. The We Will Chicago plan could change that. By CLIFFORD HELM Commentary

Chicagoans like to joke that there are only two seasons here, winter and construction. But from what I’ve seen, our two seasons are actually this: city planning and then resistance. From Woodlawn and Bronzeville to Pilsen and the Southeast Side, communities of color that have been sized up for private development are fighting the same pitched battle year in and year out. The activists want more good-paying jobs, green spaces and nice housing like their white and wealthy neighbors have. They want to stop the dangerous pollution, higher rents and generational displacement before it happens. Sometimes we win, but it’s like cutting each blade of grass with scissors when what we need is a lawnmower. Yet 9 times out of 10, private developers aided by city officials win the day. That could change if the city adopts into its We Will Chicago plan the battle strategies forged by community groups. But first, we need to understand how we got here. Chicago is one of the nation’s most segregated cities, with yawning racial gaps in education, wealth and health that seem to only get worse over time. Those unchanging racial maps are the result of a history of intentionally racist practices and policies like redlining and restrictive racial covenants that have shaped our segregated neighborhoods and produced patterns of systemic disinvestment from communities of color. When we at Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights talk about “equitable development,’’ we mean that Chicago needs new practices and policies that will finally change the map. Small and big changes are needed—and we know that unless there is an intentional dismantling of the old systems, anything built on those inequalities will only perpetuate them. What does equitable development actually look like? One my favorite definitions comes from The Government Alliance on Race and Equity, which describes it as when “quality of life outcomes, such as affordable housing, quality education, living wage employment, healthy environments and transportation are equitably experienced by the people currently living and working in a neighborhood, as well as for new people moving in.” They emphasize that “public and private investments, programs and policies in neighborhoods [should] meet the needs of residents, including com-

munities of color, and reduce racial disparities, taking into account past history and current conditions.” A core part of this idea is that we can’t just acknowledge the racist history of our policies; we have to accept that these are still being perpetuated today. In Chicago, programs like Tonika Johnson’s Folded Map Project show us the direct link between the historic redlining of Black communities and the way those neighborhoods continue to suffer from segregation, disinvestment and poverty. Other efforts (like the Just Action project convened by Chicago United for Equity, Elevated Chicago and the National Public Housing Museum) embrace the necessary steps that happen after we acknowledge our history. Their theory for this historical reckoning requires acknowledging history, shifting power and embracing accountability. To practice equitable development in Chicago, we must continuously acknowledge the history of planning and development that has created our segregated city. But we must also understand how to shift power away from the structures that continue to perpetuate the harms. In doing so, we must acknowledge that the “market” has a bias toward profit that doesn’t fit with the idea of equitable development—and most for-profit developments will not create equitable outcomes unless they are required to do so. There are some encouraging signs, but we are still a long way from that in Chicago. Private developers and city planners often give lip service to equitable development using two specific terms: “community engagement” and “community benefits.” But these concepts are rarely actually captured and incorporated into planning in a way that advances equity. That’s because developers have consistently treated “community engagement” as a more involved form of notice to the community. What’s missing is accountability in engagement or benefits. Accountability in community engagement requires that those who bear the burden of our history and its modern consequences have meaningful input on those projects. Accountability in community benefits requires that the development actively respond to the burdens that the project creates—along with all the historical context it steps into. In our current system, there is a hunger for leadership to embrace this process, but an equal (or stronger) voice resists changes to the status quo. Alder Jeanette Taylor (20th) was elected because of the possibility of creating a power shift in a community suffering from disinvestment. But former-Alder John Arena (45th) lost his election because he stuck up for affordable housing in an area that does not contribute very much affordable housing to Chicago. See HELM on page 12

HELM

Becoming proactive from page 11 Even where the political forces are willing to address the issue, because there is no standard for how we should incorporate community engagement or benefits into developments, it takes a monumental effort. In Bronzeville, Alder Sophia King (4th) has pushed for significant community involvement and benefits in the massive Michael Reese Hospital redevelopment. But the project is so large that community engagement and community accountability is understandably challenging. It is inevitable that the process will never satisfy impacted people or even effectively address the potential inequities created by a mega-development taking advantage of lucrative federal tax incentives. In these cases, we have to wonder why equitable development policies are left up to alders who are stuck between impossible political dynamics. The answer, I would argue, is that our history of planning created this dynamic in a way that intentionally makes including impacted voices difficult. Because we have not set a city-wide policy for equitable development, or even a coordinated strategy to dismantle the existing racist paradigm, our current city policy is essentially to be OK with perpetuating harm. This is the challenging landscape that community organizations and residents have to navigate. Although the balance of power is tilted against them, they have succeeded through organizing power and collective advocacy. One of the most powerful tools we have in this fight is a Community Benefits Agreement (CBA). As Julian Gross defined it in 1998, a CBA is a contract that requires a development to meet a variety of community needs. Put another way, CBAs ask a developer for concrete goals that address the community’s most important needs while mitigating harms and sharing the new investment with long-time residents. One of the defining features of a CBA is that it must be created and agreed to with substantial input, engagement and investment from a broad range of community organizations and residents who will be impacted by the development. This is especially important in Chicago, where communities of color are vulnerable to exploitation and wealth extraction. That’s why the first stage of constructing a CBA focuses on input from those who are most vulnerable—like renters at risk of displacement, community members with pollution-related health issues, families harmed by school disinvestment and those impacted by mass incarceration. Campaigns for CBAs are done in an atmosphere where developers and many public officials often share a mindset that any development is good development and is therefore a benefit unto itself. Developers often use the language of “community benefits” when they make city-mandated public presentations. It’s important to ask questions when developers promise these benefits: Who was involved in

this conversation? How did the developer identify the “community stakeholders”? Does the benefit create meaningful accountability to people in the community and the likely impact of the development? If the answer is no, then it might be time to fight for a CBA centering the experiences and impacts of those in the community that will bear the brunt of the negative outcomes from a development. Only a few CBAs have been signed in Chicago. In one recent example, a new cannabis dispensary in West Loop called Nature’s Care signed a CBA with a community coalition that ties them to hiring, wage and profit-sharing commitments with people disproportionately harmed by the War on Drugs. But some groups, like the Obama Community Benefits Agreement Coalition, have gone beyond their CBA campaign to achieve a more elusive goal: shifting power from developers to community members. The power shift that the Obama Community Benefits Agreement Coalition achieved is extremely important in a notoriously pro-developer city like Chicago.

pact assessments (racial equity impact assessments, environmental impact assessments) that meaningfully center the conversation on people that face the innumerable negative consequences of our history, our innumerable struggles with disinvestment, our problems of displacement and our awful fair housing record. If the We Will Chicago plan meaningfully centers equity and historical reckoning in creating its policy recommendations then it might make people in power uncomfortable— and we need to be OK with that. Affordable housing might be built in higher-cost or exclusionary areas. Demolishing multi-unit buildings in gentrifying areas might be harder. Public investment might need to take more risks to create community ownership and build community wealth. Private developers might lose political access. But until we see changes like these and create a system of true community engagement and accountability, advocates will continue fighting the same endless battle for justice. Clifford Helm is an attorney with the Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights. He has worked with community organizations, coalitions, nonprofits and cooperatives across Chicago on drafting community benefits agreements and developing strategies and policies to support equitable development. Currently, he focuses on voting rights, redistricting and election day voter protection.
