Staff to study interim uses for entitled or contaminated vacant properties
Summary
City staff and the city attorney are exploring interim‑use policies—such as temporary tenants—for entitled or contaminated properties to deter encampments and improve maintenance; a proposal is expected at the next planning commission meeting.
Staff announced an upcoming study of interim uses for entitled properties or sites with ongoing contamination or remediation needs. The staff member said they are coordinating with the city attorney’s office to examine ways to ensure better maintenance of those properties, including potential temporary tenants or interim uses designed to reduce blight and limit homeless encampments until remediation and final development occur.
Staff said the proposal should be ready for commission consideration at the next planning commission meeting. The announcement did not provide ordinance language, funding details, or a firm timeline beyond returning with recommendations at the next meeting.
