The committee discussed the city's process for identifying and recommending census tracts for development programs. Key topics included the eligibility criteria set by the IRS, the breakdown of tract submissions by city district, and the collaborative efforts between city departments and external partners. Additionally, there was a detailed debate regarding a proposed Master Planned Development (MPD) ordinance, specifically concerning the breadth of future project oversight, the desire for council-level appeal procedures for final plans, and requests from neighborhood associations to limit building heights on certain sites.
