DIRECTOR' S REPORT Ms. Abell mentioned the Business Retention Panel' s mission was to identify obstacles and opportunities the City may consider to ultimately improve and stabilize the local economy and to develop a Final Recommendation Report to City Council. She briefly went over the recommendations of the Panel that City Council consider: 1) Expanding the category for expedited and minor projects in order to increase staff l-evel review and approval authority. This will reduce the time and cost for site plan review and project permitting. 2) Amending the City' s Land Development Code ( LDC) to remove the development review authority of the Community Redevelopment Agency ( CRA). 3) Sunsetting the Community Redevelopment Agency Board of Commissioners as a citizen' s advisory committee to City Council ( City Council should perform the functions of the CRA Board). 4) Reviewing its policies and practices with respect to the need to acknowledge the right of private property owners in regards to their properties. 5) Implementing plans in the Land Development Code to offer flexibility and incentives for redevelopment upon certain conditions. 6) Maximizing the incentive potential of the CRA to encourage private reinvestment with property cost/benefit analysis. 7) Re- evaluating the adopted comprehensive fee schedule to allow for incentives and fee waivers or reductions for new development and redevelopment. 8) Reviewing the existing sign ordinance which establishes that all nonconforming signs must conform to the City' s sign ordinance by July 12, 2011. 9) Adopting an economic incentives program that encourages industries to relocate within the City limits. Ms. Abell reported the Panel made a final recommendation that City Council look at the Historic Sites and Structure Advisory Board and whether the value of being a Certified Local Government warrants the existence of the Board or whether that Board should be sunset as well.
