Identify good steward adjacent property owners

James Baker•7 months ago Urban infill development can be very tight. As noted in the draft plan, not all vacant lots will or can be developed into buildings or structures. I'd recommend identify good steward neighbors to tack on these parcels. This could give small-scale multifamily more room to breath in terms of parking, amenities, green space. Doing this proactively on the owners part can seem like extra work. A strategy to offload these to neighbors would be helpful.

Title Issues

James Baker•7 months ago Some vacant lots have title issues related to the city. A lot of these are from defunct programs or dangerous buildings that have been torn down.Identifying clear guidance on what programs (HEDC) are no longer around and valid for properties would speed up title clearance.
