Commission discusses housing assessment and consulting agreement to support infill
Summary
Commissioners flagged a housing-assessment objective; the chair said staff will present a consulting agreement with Hometown Consulting to inventory developable parcels and help market shovel-ready sites to developers.
The commission discussed housing objectives in Goal 5 and an action to conduct a housing assessment to determine existing housing conditions and needs. Chair said staff plan to present a consulting agreement with Hometown Consulting, an economic development firm, to support parcel inventories and make sites 'shovel ready' for development.
Chair described the consulting work as creating a GIS-based inventory of empty lots and marketing them to developers so the city can better attract housing and business investment. He said the consulting agreement is targeted for presentation to the commission and hoped to be engaged by Aug. 24 if not by the Aug. 10 council packet.
