Background The City of Little Canada owns several properties that present a range of opportunities and constraints for future use and redevelopment. Staff has compiled a comprehensive inventory and analysis of these properties, including site characteristics, zoning, surrounding context, and prior planning guidance (Attachment A). At the same time, the Economic Development Authority has recently established a set of goals and objectives focused on guiding redevelopment, establishing clear policies for the use of public resources, and strengthening relationships with the business and development community (Attachment B). This workshop is intended to connect these two efforts by providing an opportunity for the EDA to review key City-owned properties and provide direction on priorities, potential strategies, and next steps for each site.
