Specifications include, but are not limited to: The project includes: 1. Stakeholder Engagement - Interview City staff and review recent pre-application conference notes for projects in the area that were not developed. Discuss identified barriers. Convene a series of meetings and/or focus groups with selected owners of property in the Thimble Creek area to understand their interest in selling their property/ies. Identify private utility and fire jurisdictions relevant to the area. City staff will take the lead in development of a Stakeholder Engagement Plan and provide support in terms of identifying property owners. 2. Existing Conditions and Feasibility Analysis - Gather data to establish existing conditions, determine buildable lands, identify zoning and infrastructure planning. Review Oregon City Development Code/process – identify any potential barriers or outliers that deviate from the regional norm. Complete a market feasibility analysis to determine the highest and best use of the properties in the context of the Thimble Creek concept plan. The market analysis should include regionally and locally significant industries that would benefit Oregon City, with the names of representative companies in each identified industry. 3. Recommendations for Implementation, Funding Sources and Development Scenarios - Identify strategies and recommendations to attract industrial and commercial development that incorporates information gathered from stakeholders as well as the expert knowledge held by the consultant team related to economic and real estate development. This set of recommendations will include potential funding sources and property development scenarios. Development scenarios should include general information about recommended property and infrastructure requirements for certain industries. In addition to the target area, there are additional parcels of commercial industrial (CI) zoned land elsewhere in the City, including along Molalla Avenue. Please indicate if any of the identified barriers in the target area also apply to other areas of the City with CI zoning.
