Criterion to Determine Scale of Project ComplexityProject complexity is determined by scoring the project in each of the 3 criterions below and then summing the score. a. Low Complexity is a sum of 6 or less.
b. Medium Complexity is a sum of 7 – 9.
c. High Complexity is a sum of 10 or greater.

AnalysisExplain the rationale for staff recommendation, including any mitigating factors that need to be considered (recent legislative action, significant work plan changes, etc.). Please address the following as well. GREEN LIGHT: The Administration can implement this Nominated Idea under its current work plan.

YELLOW LIGHT: The Administration recommends Council send this Nominated Idea to the Priority Setting Process due to (describe cost implications, workload impacts, or other factors). RED LIGHT: The Administration recommends Council not adopt this Nominated Idea due to (describe reason implementation would be difficult if not impossible – conflict with other laws, etc.).
Recommendation 1a [Green] - (1) Public Works will prepare an Manager's Budget Addendum (MBA) as part of the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 budget process that addresses the potential for additional staffing for downtown construction coordination. (2) Scope of work is a process improvement to existing City Roadmap items for prioritized private development projects but will require reorganization with the potential new position(s); (3) Create budgeting scenarios for an efficient organization and process across the greater Downtown area for stakeholder engagement without duplicating coordination resources and efforts already implemented. Recommendation 1b [Green] - While staff is unable to return in the first quarter of 2023, staff will return to Council with an MBA that outlines a work plan for the proposed revisions as well as the resources needed to realize this work. This item requires extensive coordination among departments, including PW, PBCE, DOT, OEDCA, and CAO. In the development of the work plan, staff will engage a diverse set of stakeholders, including the development community, utilities, VTA, and others to ensure their perspectives are incorporated. Recommendation 2 [Green] -- Staff will return with a work plan to undertake revisions to the Code (including an assessment of the issues and strategies to meet objectives, research and benchmarking, outreach, determining scope of code changes, determining fines/enforcement tools, development of OKRs, development of proposed ordinance and related fines, and identifying resource needs to meet objectives), and based on that work plan, will author an MBA outlining staff resource needs for implementation. {continued on Page 3}
Analysis (Continued)
(Continued from page 2) Recommendation 3 [Green] Staff agrees that the City must do all we can to activate vacant storefronts. Staff will author an MBA through the FY 23-24 budget process for program(s) that address filling and activating vacant ground floor storefront sites in the downtown core including those mentioned in Mayor Liccardo's memorandum. In addition to identifying properties, staff will identify partners that can assist in the vacant storefront programming. Outreach will be conducted to property owners to encourage participation.
