On February 21, 2018, the item was deferred to March 14, 2018. |

The Administration has identified a variety of strategies to address the impacts of urban heat island (UHI) and improve resilience. Attached is a table describing the items identified, associated benefits, potential costs, the current actions the City is pursuing regarding these items and staff recommendations for incentives. Staff believes this chart is a better way to assess and pinpoint those options suitable for an actual ordinance. |
| | | | | | | | CONCLUSION:
The Administration recommends the LUDC discuss the variety of options set-forth in the attached table and provide appropriate policy direction. If there is consensus on the options included, it is further recommended that a draft ordinance be prepared for review by the Land use Committee in April, or for referral to the Planning Board.
