Question
Isn't Union Village pretty much built out at this point?

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 3:16PM on page 11

Suggested Revision
I vote we cut the Jewel in the crown portion of this.

Comment
This may come down to whether this is to serve as a stand alone economic development strategy

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 3:14PM on page 11

Question
are 8.3 and 8.4 the types of strategies we should consider removing? Seem more appropriate for the strategic plan

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 3:09PM on page 9

Suggested Revision
I would suggest including all uses rather than just retail

Suggested Revision
If we do that I would suggest we make the language flexible since the key parters can/will evolve over time.

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 3:03PM on page 4

Suggested Revision
reducing, waiving, or subsidizing

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 3:02PM on page 3

Suggested Revision
"collaborate with..." and research industry best practices "to inform..."

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 3:00PM on page 3

Suggested Revision
suggestion to add statement about exploring potential incentives to this one.

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 2:59PM on page 3

Suggested Revision
or have planned for these services and amenities in the future. This strategy is about reserving for future development, not building today.

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 2:58PM on page 2

Suggested Revision
I suggest we reach out to OCNP to see if they think this is a given. There may be instances where we should prioritize rehab or extending affordability periods instead, in which case we would delete this strategy imo

Comment
While we should not focus all of our affordable housing attention on BLM sites, we should not ignore that tool either. This is a massive problem that will not be solved by a single tool.

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 2:54PM on page 2

Question
How would we do this?

Andy Powell Oct 23 2025 at 2:52PM on page 1

Question
Do we need to say low-income if we have already said affordable housing?

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 1:21PM on page 10

Add strategy that relates back to SNS plan and how success is measures/annual reports.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 1:17PM on page 8

Infrastructure upgrades needed to support infill.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 1:16PM on page 10

School District's Facility master plan - may need to rethink use of aging buildings. Broader opportunities for adaptive reuse.

Bill Oct 23 2025 at 1:15PM on page 1

Work with companies who have workforce housing programs (i.e. Amazon link) to bring them to Henderson.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 1:12PM on page 11

What is our definition of advanced manufacturing? Don't want manufacturing that only uses robots/machines - want businesses with human workforce. Need high-quality jobs for our residents. Comparison with "dark warehouses" in China that don't use lighting because they don't have people working there.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 1:09PM on page 12

Emphasize businesses retention and expansion. Support the businesses that we already have.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 1:06PM on page 11

Are the specific strategies that could be developed to work towards each of these targeted industries? I.e. is there a new medical hub? How can we connect these back with the land use map? How can we get more specific?

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 1:04PM on page 11

Update with info from the Target Industry Study.
Consider what the implications are with AI.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 1:02PM on page 14

It's important to try to attract new businesses that will hire the local workforce.

Better to compete with other regions as a collaborative team (Denver, Phoenix).

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 1:00PM on page 10

Could there be more true collaboration between other SNS communities? Competition is always going to happen, but collaboration may open more doors.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 12:58PM on page 10

Consider adding something to legislative priorities with regard to the intersection of health/economic development.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 12:54PM on page 5

These strategies were intended to be an action plan that may be too detailed or out of scope for the comp plan.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 12:46PM on page 6

encampments move as vacant areas are developed. What do we do with the point-in-time homeless data?

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 12:43PM on page 5

There may be different strategies for different homeless populations; chronic homelessness needs specific resources/strategies vs. recent homeless.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 12:41PM on page 5

Can we list/do we know who those agencies are? Perhaps, "Identify and partner with..."

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 12:33PM on page 2

Incorporate findings from RTC's housing needs study.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 12:30PM on page 1

Affordable, attainable, workforce, market-rate, subsidized etc. There are likely different strategies that will target different needs, product, and funding opportunities. Make sure terms are clearly defined.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 12:25PM on page 2

Education is a high priority for the general public. Publish numbers to illustrate need.
in reply to SiteAdmin's comment

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 12:23PM on page 2

Need to coordinate with BLM to shake out what the public purpose is where sites closer in are more viable. Should be proactive, not reactive.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 12:20PM on page 2

BLM land is on edge of city and far from existing infrastructure/transportation/services. These areas, while available, may not be the most appropriate places for affordable housing.
in reply to SiteAdmin's comment

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 12:19PM on page 2

this could also open up new funding tools to both spur housing and transportation projects.

SiteAdmin Oct 23 2025 at 12:18PM on page 2

Comment from AG meeting: Prioritizing affordable housing around existing transportation facilities (current fiscal constraints to transit expansion, new areas may not be served).

Bill Oct 23 2025 at 11:51AM on page 2

Here are the strategies that the Affordable Housing Committee presented to the City Council.

Key recommendations from the committee:
Increase affordable housing supply: Advocate for more affordable and attainable housing by requesting financing, funding, and land for development.
Promote workforce housing: Pursue a voluntary inclusionary zoning policy to help ensure a supply of housing that is affordable for the city's workforce.
Explore land trust programs: Investigate the potential for a land trust program, potentially through public and private partnerships.
Support legislative action: Advocate for legislative policies that support the creation of more affordable housing.
Fund and allocate resources: Continue to request and secure funding and land for affordable housing developments.
Raise public awareness: Educate the community about the correlation between affordable housing and homelessness.
Integrate into city planning: Implement these recommendations through the upcoming Comprehensive Plan Update and other ongoing planning initiatives.

Fund and allocate resources: Continue to request and secure funding and land for affordable housing developments.

similar to above

AJ Oct 23 2025 at 11:47AM on page 9

Do we consider deleting specific uses and tie it back to the Target Industry Study - which is likely to be updated over time?

AJ Oct 23 2025 at 11:45AM on page 9

rather than 'were oversaturated', consider 'declining retail demand' or 'where market conditions indicate an oversupply of retail'?

Bill Oct 23 2025 at 11:43AM on page 5

Educate the community about the correlation between affordable housing and homelessness.

Annamarie Smith Oct 23 2025 at 11:42AM on page 9

Weave in work from Connecting Communities to Transit here (Boulder Highway priority sites)

Bill Oct 23 2025 at 11:41AM on page 11

Educate the community about the correlation between affordable housing and homelessness.

Annamarie Smith Oct 23 2025 at 11:41AM on page 9

Ensure City processes are clear, consistent, and efficient to better facilitate development projects.

AJ Oct 23 2025 at 11:41AM on page 8

Regional - Southern Nevada? Mountain West?

AJ Oct 23 2025 at 11:40AM on page 8

Do we have a city-wide target?

Emerging need to address infrastructure challenges, particularly in Eldorado Valley area

Annamarie Smith Oct 23 2025 at 11:38AM on page 14

Comment
K-12 needs to be exposed to what is possible in less known career paths - would help to address structural unemployment issues on the rise.
