Committee urged to advise county study of vacant buildings and reuse strategies
Summary
Staff said a county task force will study vacant buildings and potential activation strategies; the committee can provide input to help convert unused properties into affordable housing or other uses.
Staff member told the committee the city has a law asking the building/code department to inventory vacant properties and explore enforcement, but implementation has been challenging. She said the county is launching a grant‑funded study of vacant buildings to identify reuse opportunities and the committee could offer input to that county effort.
"The county has a housing task force and they have a grant that's gonna be doing like a big study of vacant buildings in the county and thinking through different strategies to activate them," the staff member said, urging members to consider how the advisory committee might contribute to that work.
