In response to the City Council's request for policy options that would promote redevelopment and infill (community reinvestment), on October 1, 2013 Community Design and Redevelopment Program staff presented a white paper (attached).  The purpose of the presentation was to hear discussion and receive direction to be used in the preparation of final recommendations regarding community reinvestment policy options.  The white paper poses thirteen questions - some of which are simply seeking concurrence to staff's proposed course of action; some are related to other policies and may have been discussed by the City Council previously; and others address policy ideas that may be expected in the final recommendations but that staff believes will not yield significant results.  At that meeting, the item was tabled following the staff presentation and staff was directed to return at a later date for questions, discussion, and direction.  This item is scheduled for that purpose.
