SUBJECT: North Beach Community Redevelopment Agency Redevelopment Plan Update
The purpose of this Letter to Commission (L TC) is to provide information regarding the forthcoming
Redevelopment Plan for the North Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (NBCRA).
On December 15, 2020, the

attended by over 80 participants.
The Administration introduced to
the public the City's consultant team
engaged to prepare the
Redevelopment Plan, Daedalus
Advisory Services, Dover Kohl &
Partners, and Redevelopment
Management Associates. The
consultant team delivered a
presentation that covered
background, procedure, and
process about the CRA and Redevelopment Plan, including the timetable for adoption of the Plan
in Spring/Summer 2021. For a recording of the town hall and the City's presentation, additional

The North Beach CRA Redevelopment Plan
A public introduction and process overview
December 15 2020
Meeting presentation topics included the powers and limitations of the CRA, the relationship
between the Redevelopment Plan and the North Beach Master Plan (2016), and the participatory
role of the community that will be instrumental in crafting a Redevelopment Plan that transforms
North Beach. Much of the informational meeting was interactive, consisting of audience
engagement polls and public comment. Although not a statistically valid survey, an executive
summary of the poll results conducted by Dover Kohl is attached as Exhibit A. During the question
& answer segment, members of the public expressed a shared goal for revitalization of North
Beach and the desire for transparency throughout the process.
January 2021 Virtual Community Charrette
To ensure public participation and the consideration of stakeholder concerns during Plan
preparation, the City and consultant team will conduct a virtual community charette January 11-
15, 2021. The virtual community charette will be heavily promoted by the City over the next several
weeks. In the past, the public design charette process has successfully integrated North Beach

stakeholder groups to find consensus and develop planning strategies. The Plan charrette will
focus on accomplishments and new ideas since adoption of the North Beach Master Plan, project
prioritization, sequencing, and strategies consistent with state statute.
A preliminary schedule and agenda for the virtual charrette in draft form are attached as Exhibit B.
The public is not only invited, but encouraged, to attend as many as possible of the live, interactive
sessions. Focus groups sessions with various stakeholder groups are planned to take place as
part of the charrette. A charrette webpage and media promotion are forthcoming, with details
available on the City's website.
Next Steps

City Commission will
consider creation of the
North Beach
Redevelopment
Oversight Committee,
an advisory panel to be
appointed by the City
Commission that will
provide guidance on
preparation of the Plan.
In February, the City
Commission will
consider action to
formally create the
