Notes / Follow-up

• Recommendation on Community Benefits for the BofA Building Development. (Robert, Jerry, Lisa, Andy, Suzanne)

• General discussion on the KIND and DESIGN of developments we want to see in the 23rd Ave neighborhood that promote the 23rd Ave Action Plan.

• How can we respond to future developments in 23rd Ave as (1) individual agencies, (2) a 23rd Ave Workgroup, and (3) The LSA Collaborative?

• We want to follow the Urban Ecology’s design Plan in the future and give workshops to developers that wants build on 23rd avenue, so they can be consistent with the 23rd avenue Plan.
