The Greater Downtown Area Plan and Redwood Life Precise Plans include robust community <br />engagement, with a focus on engaging people of all demographics in the City. The Historic Preservation <br />Ordinance is also an upcoming effort and will involve a broader and more inclusive engagement process <br />to ensure we reach all members of the community and do not unfairly burden residents, especially low- <br />income residents living in historic properties and that any benefits of historic preservation activities are <br />equitably distributed. Finally, the Gatekeeper applications all include community benefits packages that <br />are proposed to be analyzed to ensure that they are adequate, i.e., that the benefits are above and beyond <br />what is required. Many of these benefit packages include off-site affordable housing and other benefit <br />packages that will increase opportunities for our most vulnerable residents. Further details on these <br />items, such as benefits to the community, resources needed, and estimated completion times, are in the <br />Final Work Plan (Attachment A). <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Staff time is required to administer the work plan and to assist the Planning Commission in achieving their <br />goals. In addition, consultants will be brought on to help with the Greater Downtown Area Plan, the <br />Redwood Life Precise Plan, and potentially the Historic Preservation Ordinance. The Redwood Life Precise <br />Plan will be a full cost recovery activity, meaning the applicant will fund all costs associated with <br />developing the Precise Plan.
