c. Staff’s initial recommendations for targeting any specific unhoused populations for service on any of the sites;
d. A description of the City Manager’s proposed approach to preserving the quality of life in surrounding neighborhoods, and to ensuring the safe functioning of any existing or future quick-build apartment commu...
