WORK SESSION
October 23, 2012
after the Urban Renewal Authority Meeting
1. Call Meeting to Order.
2. Redevelopment Displacement Mitigation Strategies. (staff: Ken Waido; 1 hour
discussion)
City policies contained in City Plan, the City’s Comprehensive Plan, and the Affordable
Housing Strategic Plan 2010-2014, list manufactured housing/mobile homes as an
important component of the community’s housing stock, encourage the preservation of
existing affordable housing units, and call for the mitigation of impacts on residents
displaced through the closure of mobile home parks due to redevelopment activities. The
City Council placed the development of an “Affordable Housing Relocation Strategic
Plan” on its 2012 Work Plan. The purpose of the strategic plan would be to develop City
policies and requirements applicable to redevelopment projects by defining the City’s
role, responsibilities, obligations, and involvement in redevelopment projects which
cause the displacement of low-income people from their homes (with an emphasis on
mobile home parks), whether they are located inside the City limits or within the City’s
Growth Management Area (GMA), within the restrictions of the City Charter.
The strategic plan under development will deal with more than just the relocation of low-
income residents displaced by redevelopment. The expanded scope of the project will
investigate optional techniques to preserve and stabilize some mobile home parks to
reduce economic pressures to convert the parks to other uses. In cases where a mobile
home park is subjected to redevelopment and the displacement of park residents, the
project will develop relocation assistance requirements to be covered by the
park/property-owner and/or developer of the redevelopment activity.
3. Harmony Road Enhanced Travel Corridor Alternatives Analysis. (staff: Aaron Iverson;
45 minute discussion)
This purpose of this agenda item is to brief City Council on the status of the Harmony
Road Enhanced Travel Corridor Alternatives Analysis . City Council was provided with
an update memo in February discussing the start and intent of the study. Since that time,
the project team looked at existing conditions, modeled future traffic conditions,
developed a vision and goals for the study, conducted the first public outreach, and began
the development of future concepts for Harmony Road.
