...Recommendations

2. Approve staff’s recommendation to authorize creation of City-wide Tenant Preference policies for City Council consideration for the following types of low-income tenants:
a) those who live or work in San José;
b) those who have experienced certain types of displacement; and
c) those residing in gentrifying areas that are highly likely to result in tenant displacement.
3. Authorize staff and the City Attorney’s Office to conduct in-depth legal analysis, to do additional stakeholder outreach, and to develop the three recommended City-wide Tenant Preference policies and return to the City Council for consideration and approval.
