A

A
A
C
A
A
B
B
B
B
So
I
wanted
to
share
an
excerpt
from
that
plan's
purpose.
Statement
for
board
members
who
may
not
have
been
here
last
fall
next
slide.
Please
I'm
sorry!
I
do
read
to
you
a
few
times
today.
The
agency
acknowledges
the
negative
impacts
that
traditional
economic
development
and
redevelopment
strategies
have
historically
had
on
targeted
communities
with
concentrated
poverty,
lower
levels
of
housing,
stability
and
higher
shares
of
minority
populations
as
part
of
its
mission
to
revitalize
neighborhoods
in
business
districts,
in
a
way
that
fosters
livability
and
neighborhood
vibrancy.
B
So
I
think
that
summarizes
the
ethos
behind
some
of
these
changes
and,
frankly,
the
ever-evolving
role
of
the
rda
as
market
realities.
Change.
Later
in
the
presentation
you
also
notice,
we
took
some
of
the
goals
directly
from
that
equity
work
plan
and
use
them
as
objectives
for
our
new
commercial
programs.
B
And
again
I
want
to
acknowledge
these
are
national
level
trends
and
they're,
not
at
all
comprehensive,
but
national
studies
have
shown
that
commercial
rents
in
urban
areas
are
becoming
increasingly
expensive
and,
in
addition,
the
pandemic
resulted
in
severe
impacts
on
local
businesses,
especially
those
owned
by
people
of
color.
Next
slide.
Please.
B
B
B
Walkable
urban
environments
are
also
increasing
in
popularity,
which
is
good
for
business,
but
it's
also
increasing
demand
for
retail
spaces
and
leading
to
increasing
rents
that
outpace
sales
growth
and
this
increased
demand
includes
demand
from
national
chains.
So,
basically,
these
companies
have
already
saturated
the
suburbs,
but
still
have
gross
targets
to
hit
each
year
so
they're.
Turning
towards
more
urban
areas
to
expand
their
market
footprint
and
on
the
supply
side,
as
cities
gain
popularity
and
experience
gentrification
a
lot
of
redevelopment
occurs.
B
This
will
often
include
the
redevelopment
of
buildings
with
smaller
historic
retail
spaces,
which
may
not
be
replaced
at
all
or
may
be
replaced
with
larger,
more
expensive
space
and
last.
Another
reason
for
the
proliferation
of
chains
is
due
to
lending
practices,
so
banks
will
often
provide
more
favorable
terms
for
developers
who
have
signed
national
brand
name
tenants,
because
they're
seen
as
more
predictable
and
less
of
a
risk
next
slide.
Please.
B
A
survey
taken
during
the
early
months
of
the
pandemic
found
that
the
number
of
black
business
owners
had
fallen
by
41
percent
latinx
business
owners
fell
by
32
asian
business
owners
had
fallen
by
26
compared
to
white
business
owners,
which
had
fallen
by
20
by
17
in
a
separate
survey
later
that
year
of
black
and
latinx
business
owners
indicated
that
one-fifth
expected
to
close
their
business
by
the
middle
of
2021
next
slide.
Please.
B
B
Housing
is
increasingly
claimed
as
a
human
right,
while
large
chain
stores
and
corporations
are
subsidized
in
the
name
of
economic
development
in
cities
that
fail
to
invest
in
what
works,
to
protect
and
promote
these
businesses
do
so
at
their
own
peril.
They
start
to
lose
the
people
and
places
that
make
neighborhoods
economically,
vibrant,
environmentally
sustainable
and,
frankly,
more
interesting
and
enjoyable
places
to
be
so.
I
handed
over
to
lauren
to
get
into
some
more
of
the
program
specific
thanks.
D
So
much
ashley,
so
we
as
staff
recognize
that
there
is
an
opportunity
here
to
more
intentionally
utilize
rda
tools
and
programming
to
address
some
of
the
challenges
that
ashley
just
described
by
updating
and
proposing
new
commercial
programming.
We
hope
to
accomplish
eight
overarching
commercial
objectives
that
include,
and
if
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
you
can
see
them
these
again.
D
Please
continuing
on
with
those
objectives,
countering
the
displacement
of
existing
businesses
from
their
neighborhoods
implementing
tenant
preferences
for
minority
and
women-owned
independent
businesses,
as
well
as
community
serving
non-profits,
promoting
the
preservation,
rehabilitation
or
adaptive,
reuse
of
existing
building
stock,
to
preserve
a
neighborhood's
character
and
finally,
increasing
the
rda's
reach
to
non-traditional
applicants
to
apply
for
and
utilize
rda
programs.
So
those
are
the
ada
overarching
objectives
next
slide,
please.
D
D
The
goal
of
updating
this
program
is
to
assist
commercial
development
projects
that
align
with
the
overarching
commercial
objectives,
and
so
currently
the
rda
offers
loans
through
our
housing
development
loan
program
and
also
our
revolving
loan
fund,
in
order
to
qualify
for
a
loan
from
our
revolving
loan
fund.
A
development
must
be
located
in
an
rda
project
area
and
meet
a
general
objective
within
the
corresponding
project
area
plan.
D
Reviewing
the
current
criteria,
we'd
like
to
be
much
more
strategic
with
the
rlf
to
focus
on
commercial
projects
and
we'd
also
like
to
introduce
more
specific
threshold
criteria
in
order
to
qualify
so
qualifying
projects
may
include
those
that
are
developed
by
an
independent
business
or
non-profit
for
their
own
use,
with
again
a
focus
on
minority
and
women-owned
businesses.
Again
an
example
of
this
is
the
bicycle
collective
project:
that's
a
non-profit,
that's
developing
their
own
building
projects
that
dedicate
commercial
space
to
independent
businesses
or
not
profits.
D
Here
this
could
be
facilitated
by
a
developer,
but
there
must
be
space
dedicated
for
those
types
of
businesses,
affordable,
housing,
mixed
mixed-use
projects
that
have
an
active
ground
floor,
commercial
use,
and
here
a
leasing,
office
or
resident
on
many
amenities.
Space
would
not
will
not
qualify
and,
finally,
projects
that
incorporate
preservation
and
reactivation
of
an
existing
historic
structure.
D
D
D
The
proposed
update,
contemplates
expanding
this
program
to
all
project
areas
and
potentially
expanding
the
definition
of
adaptive
reuse
to
his
to
include
historic
rehab
projects
to
be
more
strategic
funding
could
also
be
limited
to
certain
corridors
and
project
areas
that
have
a
high
concentration
of
historic
buildings
like
state
street
main
street,
ninth,
west
etcetera
and,
of
course,
funds
would
be
remarketed
in
each
of
these
project
areas.
If
the
program
is
expanded,
next
slide.
D
The
first
new
program
to
be
proposed
is
the
affordable,
storefront
activation
program.
The
goal
of
this
program
is
to
use
public
ownership
or
essentially,
control
as
a
means
to
provide
affordable,
rent
and
ownership
opportunities
to
preferred
tenant
types,
including
independent
and
community,
serving
non-profits
through
ownership.
The
rda
could
put
and
put
out
an
rfp,
for
example,
to
develop
a
mixed-use
building
and
maintain
ownership
of
the
commercial
space
to
then,
lease
affordably
spaces
could
also
be
sold
at
an
affordable
price.
D
D
So,
as
ashley
described,
our
next
steps
include
conducting
additional
research
and
community
engagement.
The
engagement
may
include
survey,
work,
focus
groups
and
interviews
and,
as
you
all,
are
very
plugged
into
your
communities,
please
reach
out.
If
you
have
suggestions
regarding
community
and
independent
business
connections,
we'd
appreciate
that
and
finally,
we
hope
to
bring
our
findings
and
more
concrete
program
proposals
back
to
you
all
for
your
consideration
in
the
fall.
A
E
F
I
appreciate
the
work
here
and
I
appreciate
the
idea
of
the
the
technical
and
educational
assistance,
because
I
was
listening
to
an
npr
cast
this
past
week
and
you
know
the
number
of
small
businesses
owned
by
people
of
color
that
succeed
past.
That
first
year
is,
I
think,
under
the
single
digit
is
in
single
digits
and
so
many
fail
and
probably
not
for
lack
of
hard
work,
but
just
lack
of
that
that
one
little
tidbit
of
information
that
would
really
send
them
in
the
right
direction.
F
So
I
like
the
technical
for
a
new
program,
but
how
do
we
get
that
to
the
programs
that
are
or
the
businesses
or
the
communities
that
are
struggling
there
now
so
that
they
don't
end
up
being
in
that
endless
loop
of
losing
losing
their
business
because
of
no
fault
of
their
own
and
pushing
that
support
there?
On
that
educational
and
trained
side
earlier
preventative,
vice
or
yeah?
I
guess
both
of
them
are
preventative
but
pushing
that
so
it's
kind
of
like
a
common
and
just
a
request
to
really
look
at
that.
D
G
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
the
presentation
in
particular.
Actually
I
appreciate
your
sort
of
problem
statement
of
like
what
we're
trying
to
solve
it.
It
makes
it
clear
why
this
is
important.
I
guess
my
question
is
related
to
a
lot
of
other
discussions.
We've
been
having
as
a
council
which
is,
are
we
duplicating
any
of
the
things
that
economic
development
is
already
doing
with
the
edlf
or
with
that
technical
assistance,
because
I
know
that
they
have
business
support?
I
mean
that's
the
point
of
their
whole
department
for
their
whole
division.
G
So
no
it's
a
department
like
are:
we?
Is
it
appropriate
for
us
to
be
creating
another
technical
assistance
program,
or
can
we
be
sort
of
collaborating
with
economic
development
and
doing
using
their
resources
that
they
already
have
maybe
augmenting
them
with
rda
resources,
but
making
sure
that
the
people,
whether
they
come
in
the
door
from
economic
development
or
into
the
city
door,
through
the
rda,
making
sure
that
they're
able
to
access
and
easily
sort
of
have
that
one-stop
shop
for
all
of
their
business
development
needs?
G
Like
complement
but
don't
duplicate,
what
we
already
have
in
other
departments
in
the
city
would
be
important
for
me
to
understand
a
little
bit
better.
I
think
what
feels
clearly
in
the
rda's,
purview
and
important
is
like
developing
spaces
in
the
rda
project
areas,
because
we've
identified
project
areas
where
we
want
your
team
to
make
sure
that
neighborhood
vibrancy
comes
back
and
commercial
vitality
is
a
really
big
important
piece
to
that.
G
G
I
guess
I'm
trying
to
understand
how
that's
different
than
the
edlf,
I
think
is
it
more
related
to
the
space
that
the
business
is
trying
to
get,
but
I
believe
that
economic
development
could
also
loan
their
money
in
order
to
get
spaces
right
so
trying
to.
I
guess
I
maybe
just
want
a
little
more
understanding
about
how
those
things
come
together
and
then
the
education
and
technological
assistance
at
first
blush
feels
like
it's
more
of
a
economic
development,
a
business
develop
whatever
we
call
that
division
thing.
So
those
are
my
comments.
B
B
We
don't
want
to
duplicate
programs
at
all,
and
I
think
it
would
be
great
if
someone
looking
for
commercial
assistance,
whether
it's
a
developer
or
a
business
owner,
if
we
kind
of
had
that
one-stop
shop,
where
you
know,
maybe
certain
things
fit
better
within
the
edlf
program
and
what
that
funds,
and
maybe
we
can
assist
with
our
new
program
so
we're
still
figuring
that
out.
But
that's
definitely
our
intention
right.
G
E
Can
I
just
share
a
quick.
The
board,
with
the
assistance
of
the
administration
a
couple
years
ago,
worked
on
a
kind
of
a
role,
clarity
document
as
it
related
to
housing,
activities
between
hand
and
rda,
and
I
think
that
that
was
a
really
helpful
exercise
in
kind
of
documenting
so
that
everyone
had
like
a
shared
understanding
of,
and
it
actually
helped
us
communicate
with
developers
in
the
community
too.
To
say
here.
A
C
C
Is
that
what
it's
called
storefront
activation
program,
affordable,
storefront
activation
program-
and
you
probably
already
thought
about
this-
but
keeping
small
businesses
struggle
to
make
a
profit
very
quick,
and
they
take
years
to
to
get
to
that
place
to
to
feel
comfortable
with
with
their
bottom
line
and
giving
some
of
these
organization
small
businesses
time
to
for
longer
leases.
So
they
can
have
a
stable.
They
don't
have
to
think
about.
C
Moving
away
quickly
is
something
that
is
very
helpful
to
establish
themselves
and
when
we
are
talking
about
minority-owned
businesses-
and
you
know
it
was
touch
here-
that
we're
going
to
be
studying
this
and
we're
going
to
be
talking
to
organizations
and
whatnot.
But
as
a
city
on
nasa
as
a
government,
and
I
I
will
dare
to
say
all
governments
in
in
the
country
struggle
with
reaching
out
to
communities
of
color,
and
I
I
hope
that
we
don't
reinvent
the
wheel.
C
But
at
the
same
time
we
understand
that
we're
going
to
struggle
that
we're
going
to
struggle
reaching
out
to
that
community.
My
community
and
it's
going
to
require
a
lot
of
work
and
it
will
feel
like
it's
not
paying
off,
but
it
will.
We
just
need
to
be
patient
and
we
need
to
reach
out
to
trusted
organizations
in
the
community
that
already
have
that
trust
on
the
network
and
we
need
to
partner
up
strongly
with
them.
And
I
can
think
of
many-
and
I
bet
victoria
I
can
think
of
many
more.
C
B
G
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
go
back
to
jen's
point
about
when
we
kind
of
re
did
some
things
from
hand
and
rda
and
that
role,
clarity
and
off
the
top
of
my
head.
The
first
thing:
the
low
hanging
fruit
is
project
area
right
that
if
a
business
comes
and
they're
outside
of
the
project
area,
then
we
can
say:
oh
wait.
A
minute.
You're
go
go
over
to
edlf
or
visa
versa,
right
that,
if
they're
there
and
and
it's
like
you
fit
right
within
this
project
area.
G
So
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
that,
because
this
isn't
housing,
we
have
to
spend
it
in
project
areas
right
and
so
just
kind
of
was
on
my
in
my
brain
of
that
low
hanging
fruit
for
how
this
differs
to
darren's
question
how
this
differs
a
little
bit
from
the
edlf
program,
and
then
I
had
some
thoughts
about
what
alejandro
said,
but
I'll
come
back
to
those
probably
offline.
Oh.
A
I
want
to
know
yeah
me
too.
I
should
I
have
a
few
thoughts
too.
Let's
start
with
alice,
I
understand
the
length
of
the
lease
you
know
might
be
something
that
the
rda
can
help
with.
So,
if
we
could
must
you
know
we
can
master
lee's
space
for
five
10
years,
15
years
you
you're
giving
the
assurance
to
the
developer
that
you
will
get
your
money
for
the
rent,
we're
kind
of
guaranteeing
it,
but
we're
also
giving
the
the
the
you
know
the
the
business
that
length
right
to
recoup.
A
So
I
think
with
this
program,
if
we're
going
to
embark
on
this,
I'm
not
sure
what
else
to
do
other
than
the
contract
that
says
hey.
This
is
for
two
three
five
ten
years
whatever
it
is,
but
I
think
it's
important
that
we
are
clear
with
the
public
that
it
might
be
temporary.
You
know
meaning
10
years
temporary
or
five
years,
but
it
is.
It
has
a
time
limit,
depending
on
what
we
are
able
to
negotiate
with.
You
know,
with
a
property
owner
other
things
that
I'm
thinking
about
this
program.
A
I
think
thank
you
so
much
for
for
that
presentation
like
darren,
said
about
what
are
we
trying
to
solve
and
there's
a
book
called
the
suburbanization
of
new
york
or
service
survey
suburbanization
of
manhattan,
or
something
that
talks
about
how
all
the
small
businesses
mostly
have
been
displaced
and
taken
over
by
the
big
companies
that
can
offer
a
better
lease
rate
can
offer
a
longer
term,
etc
and
new
york
in
manhattan?
Certain
areas
has
lost
that.
A
You
know
that
that
quaint
that
exciting,
you
know
spaces
or
neighborhoods,
where
you
can
go
and
find
things
that
you
wouldn't
find
anywhere
else,
and
so
that's
something
that
I
think
salt
lake
city
has
going
for
us
when
we.
If
we
compare
ourselves
to
the
suburbs,
it's
like,
we
still
have
that
that
spirit
here
of
small
businesses
but
we're
losing
them.
So
I
think
this
is
very
timely.
A
Obviously
we
wish
we
would
have
done
this
before,
but
it's
timely
at
the
same
time
and
that's
something
that
we
need.
I
feel
strongly
that
we
need
to
focus
on,
because
I
go
back
to
the
budget
and
how
we
need.
You
know
people
back
downtown,
supporting
businesses
and
spending
that
money
right
here
versus
elsewhere,
so
that
we
can
help
our
budget
and
we
can
offer
the
services
that
we
do,
and
so
it
makes
so
they
make
sense
financially
as
well
for
us.
A
So
that's
one
of
the
reasons
I
feel
strongly
that
we
need
to
focus
on
this.
The
tech
assistance
assistance
part-
and
maybe
this
is
something
that
you
can
clarify
now
or
later,
but
to
darren's
point
to
me
when
we
say
a
technical
assistance
to
at
the
rda
to
me
it's
more
about
navigating
the
rda
process,
not
necessarily
teaching
a
business,
how
to
run
a
business
or
be
financial.
A
B
B
Everyone
get
just
gets
that,
but
I
think
you
know,
through
our
community
engagement
efforts,
we're
hoping
to
build
relationships
with
groups
who
already
do
this
work,
and
I
think
it
could
be
a
great
opportunity
to
partner
with
them
and,
potentially,
you
know,
compensate
them
to
help
our
applicants
with
technical
assistance,
because
we
do
know
there's
a
lot
of
groups
out
there
who
have
been
doing
this
work
and
they
do
a
great
job
at
it.
So
we're
hoping
to
build
better
connections
with
them.
A
Thanks
and
then
my
last
comment
on
this,
we
you
know
you
guys,
we
all
have
the
resources
out
there,
so
I
I
would.
I
would
hope
that
we
are
very
intentional
about
this
pro
program,
not
about
well.
We
have
it.
Somebody
can
go
to
the
link
and
and
apply
for
something
if
they
need
to
more,
like
we're
actively
recruiting.
A
When
I
say
actively
recruiting
is
going
to
a
farmers
market
in
the
west
side
or
downtown
getting
to
know
those
businesses
and
offering
the
program
hey.
Are
you
looking
for
space
or
are
you
struggling?
You
know
if
you
have
space
already?
Are
you
struggling?
Because
here
are
some
programs
where
we
can
recruit?
You
know
back
downtown
back
in
our
project
areas.
A
lot
of
those
businesses
out
there
in
farmer's
markets
either
are
are
not
in
salt
lake
city
or
are
renting
incubate.
A
You
know
incubator
kitchens
out
there,
so
they
definitely
need
you
know
they
need
that
extra
help
where
the
city
is
actually
recruiting
and
asking
and
offering
and
saying
this
is
where
we
can
place
you
if
you
needed
space
to
get
you
going,
you
know.
So
that's
my
hope
and
and
and
not
just
hoping
that
somebody
will
show
up
at
our
door
and
say:
hey.
Can
you
help
me?
You
know
yeah,
so
absolutely
so.
Those
are
my
comments.
I'm
done
anybody
who's.
A
Those
were
a
lot
of
comments.
Sorry,
so
I
think
we're
done
with
that
number
without
sorry
with
that
item
c2.
Thank
you
so
much
that
was
good,
great
presentation
and
great
program.
We
we
need,
we
need
to
go
into
a
closed
session,
so
I
will
need
a
motion
to
move
into
a
closed
sessions
for
strategy
sessions
to
discuss
the
purchase,
exchange
or
lease
of
real
real
property
and
attorney
client
matters.
G
A
E
A
A
G
A
So
have
a
second
okay.
So
do
we
have
any
discussion
about
this?
No
okay!
So
we
just
actually.
If
we
need
a
stropper,
we
didn't
need
a
motion,
I'm
so
sorry,
but
anyway,
so
board.
Member
fowler
did
mention
what
we're
straw
polling
for,
and
we
just
need
people
to
show
their
feelings
right
now
about
releasing
1.11
million
dollars
out
of
the
north
temple
strategic
intervention
fund.
E
A
A
E
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
We
do
have
one
announcement
on
june,
2nd
rda
staff
released
a
3
million
notice
of
funding,
availability
or
nofa
through
the
rda's
housing
development
loan
fund
for
affordable
housing
developments
experiencing
an
emergency
financial
gap.
Construction
costs
have
increased
significantly
and
many
developments
are
facing
cost
overruns
to
apply
for
these
funds.
At
least
20
percent
of
the
project's
total
units
must
be
rent
restricted
to
households,
earning
60,
ami
or
below,
and
the
project
must
be
ready
to
close
within
90
days
of
being
awarded
rda
financing.
A
A
Thanks
board
members,
any
comments
on
that.
No
questions,
okay,
go
ahead!
Kara!
Do
you
have
more
friends?
That's
our
only
announcement.
Thank
you
all
right.
Thank
you.
We're
moving
on
to
item
d,
which
is
written
briefings
and
we
have
none.
We
don't
have
a
consent
agenda
at
item
e
and-
and
I
think
we
are.
