2 QUESTIONS - Does the City of Boise (COB) want to include a master planning process prior to or in parallel with the establishment of an urban renewal district? - Is the COB agreeable to leading the effort? - Can the COB pay for the district creation consulting expenses? - How best do we consider the University of Utah graduate planning work in advising strategies for revitalization in the COB planning process? - How best do we consider the ULI Vista Avenue corridor planning work that has been done? - How much public engagement is desired with neighborhood stakeholders? - How much collaboration is anticipated with overlapping taxing districts in forming a new urban renewal district? - Should the initial assumption be that the urban renewal plan area is a more focused area (toolkit) within the master plan area as was the case with the successful 30 th Street District formation? - Should a steering committee be formed to assist with visioning, strategies, goals, capital project improvements? If so who should be represented? - What is the desired timeframe for the effort based on answers to the above questions? 2
