Chair Lynn frames Phase 3 priorities: equity, climate resilience and community engagement
Summary
Committee Chair Amanda Lynn circulated a draft chair's letter emphasizing diversity of affordable housing, preventing displacement, undoing past harms, climate resilience, transit‑oriented development and coordinated, multilingual public engagement as priorities for Phase 3 planning.
Chair Amanda Lynn used the committee's business item to circulate a draft chair’s letter laying out priorities for Phase 3 of the comprehensive plan. Lynn said the letter seeks to translate public testimony and council input into actionable scoping guidance for OPCD as it prepares the SEIS and alternatives.
The letter emphasizes several priorities: supporting diverse affordable housing near schools and transit, sequencing measures to prevent displacement, undoing past harms and building climate resilience. Lynn said the office is committed to participating in coordinated community engagement alongside OPCD and encouraged councilmembers to engage at early scoping stages. "We want to prioritize deep coordinated community engagement as part of that next phase," Lynn said.
The committee did not adopt a resolution; members agreed to use the chair's letter and ongoing feedback to shape Phase 3 scoping and public outreach. The meeting adjourned after the letter discussion; the SEIS and alternative maps will provide formal input points later in the process.
