Summary

Redevelopment staff read a batch of Land Bank single‑family and transfer applications; commissioners approved A1–A15 except held A9 and A10 to allow developer outreach with a neighborhood group, and approved commercial and property transfer items C1 and PT1–PT11.

The committee considered a slate of Land Bank applications and approved the majority of single‑family and transfer requests while holding two parcels for additional neighborhood outreach.

Redevelopment Coordinator Michael Sutton read the A series of Land Bank applications (A1–A15), most of which were single‑family home build proposals. No written opposition was recorded for the A items, but one neighborhood representative indicated opposition to items A9 and A10 and requested additional time to consult with the developer after compressed holiday‑period notice.

Commissioner Bynum moved to approve the A items with the exception of A9 and A10, which would be held to the next meeting pending the applicant meeting with the neighborhood group; Commissioner Pacheco seconded. The motion carried by roll call, 5‑0. Sutton noted A9 and A10 were part of a single application and would be returned after the outreach.

The committee also approved the commercial and property transfer items (C1 and PT1–PT11) on consent by a 5‑0 roll call. With votes recorded, the committee adjourned.

Next steps: A9 and A10 will be held to the next committee meeting to allow the neighborhood and applicant to meet; staff said the next meeting cadence will allow a faster turnaround beginning in February.
