City Council Meeting Retreat Tuesday, February 18, 2015 Page 17 After that, Mr. Rapp reiterated that he would work with City Manager Trudgeon and staff to fa- cilitate a half-day session to develop initiatives or key pieces to bring before the City Council to help achieve the City's strategic priorities. Mr. Rapp recognized the frustration and normal de- sire at that half-day staff session. If he found the group sliding into that minutia again, Mr. Rapp advised that he would refocus discussions to avoid losing continuity. Using the move-up housing topic as an example, Councilmember McGehee questioned if they would then be on sheets for staff and they would return to the City Council with that issue for decision-making to set priorities. Mayor Roe asked that "indicator"be defined, using the example of Councilmember McGhee for move-up housing, whether it was intended as specific or not. Mayor Roe noted that the housing & redevelopment priority talked about variety and diversity, which may be the desired indicator, but suggested it may instead be related to work force housing. With a two-year time period, Mr. Rapp suggested housing in particular tended to have a longer time horizon than that, providing an optional target specific to housing variety. If the indicator was defined by the City Council to monitor housing variety with a target to achieve balance across the board or by a certain percentage, Mr. Rapp suggested that would be the target. As an example, Mr. Rapp suggested 20% move-up housing by 2020 as a target, whether achievable in the two- year program or balanced with other options. Councilmember Willmus noted that the City's Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan would suggest those targets. Mr. Rapp concurred that in the upcoming Comprehensive Plan update and any new zoning, the City could start focusing on which housing options would receive initiatives, which would also provide an idea of the timing for the target over a longer time horizon. Councilmember Willmus opined that, while the end use may be beyond two years, in order for it to happen or even be a potential, proper zoning and guidance was needed to be in place to ac- complish that. Mayor Roe opined that in itself that was a strategic initiative. Councilmember Willmus concurred, opining that it was actually working the process backward to get to a strategic priority. Mayor Roe opined that he saw this priority category(housing and redevelopment) as inclusive of growing the tax base, picking a target, as well as defining percentages for rental and owner- occupied and other housing options.
