Revised Urban Revitalization Resolutions
INTRODUCTION
This memorandum transmits two revised resolutions for the year 2000 urban revitalization
program applications. These changes add one property to the list of approved properties in one
resolution and correct a typographical error in the other.
DISCUSSION
In our prior memorandum on this matter, we reported that one of this year's 28 urban
revitalization applications was determined by Housing Services not to be in conformance with
the Urban Revitalization Area Plan. As a result, we did not include it in our list of recommended
applications.
On Friday, February 18, the Housing Services staff advised that they had reinspected the property
at 1133 Highland Place, which is owned by Deborah La Beau.. They found that the property
improvements are in compliance and revised their inspection report accordingly. This property
may therefore be added to the recommended list.
The second resolution contained a misplaced phrase in the title and an unnecessary space in the
second paragraph.
Attached you will find the two revised resolutions. The first resolution was amended to add
1133 Highland Place to the West 11th Street Urban Revitalization Area list. The second
resolution corrects the above-noted errors.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council adopt the attached revised resolutions.
