TAPs
Technical Assistance Panels
Pasadena TAPs
Between December 2007 and January 2008, ULI LA
conducted 2½ days of TAPs with the City of Pasadena. This
engagement followed up on the two day TAP conducted
in January 2007 which focused on the City’s Housing
Agenda for Action. This particular TAP led to a City of
Pasadena staff presentation to the Pasadena City Council
in April 2007 at which time the Council approved ten
of the ULI LA panel recommendations, three of which
addressed workforce housing. The first one day TAP in
December 2007 was chaired by Renata Simril of Forest City
Development. This panel focused on strategies to leverage
the City of Pasadena’s Housing Opportunity Fund. The
second one day panel in January 2008 was chaired by Con
Howe of CityView and focused on strategies to increase
the production of workforce housing. The final half day
panel brought both earlier panel’s together to synthesize
their findings and recommendations and to meet with the
City Council’s Economic Development and Technology
Committee which included Mayor Bill Bogaard.

Technical Assistance Panel and guests for the City of Pasadena on Housing.
The panel experience is the essence of the ULI mission as it promotes the
responsible use of land with the goal of creating thriving communities. In
this fiscal year ULI LA conducted the second greatest number of TAps in the
history of the district Council following the record-breaking prior fiscal year.
