​ ​


Property Analysis
A simple and transparent LRA inventory analysis and rating system (or rubric) will provide the
most streamlined opportunity to efficiently and effectively guide the implementation of the NS
Project. LRA and the Building Division will establish the LRA inventory structural analysis and
rating system, including:

 ●​ Analysis of all existing LRA buildings, and upon intake of future buildings.
 ●​ Buildings analyzed and evaluated for the various outcomes to include: Stabilization,
 Demolition, or Sale.
 ●​ Objective structural analysis criteria informed by national best practices performed by
 personnel in the Building Division and St. Louis Development Corporation (SLDC) with
 the informed assistance of the Cultural Resources Office (CRO), Planning and Urban
 Design Agency (PDA), other applicable City agencies, and local stakeholders (e.g.
 Landmarks, SLACO, etc.).
 ●​ Structural Analysis performed Building Division Inspectors or other qualified staff.


Property Selection
Based upon relevant considerations, including structural analysis data; ratings; Market Value
Analysis; City and SLDC staff expertise; adopted neighborhood and redevelopment plans; and
Stabilization Advisory Committee feedback, buildings nominated for stabilization shall be
evaluated for the best chance of becoming reoccupied tax-generating homes for St. Louis
residents, and/or buildings that have significant historic merit which will contribute to the
revitalization of existing neighborhood conditions and real estate market viability.

Stabilization Advisory Committee: Public meetings of the Stabilization Advisory Committee

the NS Project. The Stabilization Advisory Committee shall:
 ●​ Review all stabilization recommendations and analysis provided by City and

 approval or rejection to LRA Commission.
 ●​ Provide feedback regarding recommendations in order to inform the nominee

 ●​ Provide additional technical expertise and oversight to the process.

The Stabilization Advisory Committee shall be a seven-member body consisting of:
 ●​ Three (3) members appointed by the Mayor, serving staggered two (2) -year terms; and

 percentage of vacant LRA-owned buildings. SLDC shall advise the Alderpersons



​ ​ 2

​ ​


 of each such Ward of their authority to appoint members to the Stabilization
 Advisory Committee.
 o​ If, as a result of the review described above, a Ward is no longer one of the four
 (4) Wards with the highest percentage of vacant LRA-owned buildings, then the
 term of the member appointed by the Alderperson from such Ward shall
 immediately terminate.
 ●​ Advisory Committee member background or expertise should include some of the
 following: Structural Engineer, Architect, Construction, Licensed Contractor, Real
 Estate, Historical Preservation, Urban Planning

All members appointed to the Stabilization Advisory Committee serve at the pleasure of their
appointing authority and may be removed by such appointing authority at any time and for any
reason. Each member on the Stabilization Advisory Committee shall continue to serve until such
time as they are removed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or until their successor is duly
appointed.

Stabilization Advisory Committee members shall attend no less than 50% of meetings each
calendar year. If a member is absent more than 50% of meetings in a calendar year, as
determined by their date of appointment, then the following year, beginning on the first day of
January, the absentee member shall be removed from the Stabilization Advisory Committee and
the respective appointing authority shall appoint an interim member to complete the remainder
of the absent committee member’s term.

In the event any seat on the Stabilization Advisory Committee is vacant for more than sixty (60)
calendar days, the LRA Commission may appoint an interim member to serve until such time as
the appropriate appointing authority appoints a member to fill the vacancy.

All members appointed to the Stabilization Advisory Committee shall, upon assuming their
position on the Stabilization Advisory Committee, execute a conflict of interest disclosure stating
all Substantial Interests, as defined in Chapter 105 RSMo., they or member of their family within
the second degree of consanguinity have relating to such service on the Stabilization Advisory
Committee. No committee member may receive remuneration, compensation, emolument, or
other form of profit relating to their service on the Stabilization Advisory Committee. All members
shall recuse themselves from any vote(s) related to a property which sits on the same City block
as real property where such member(s) have a Substantial Interest.

The Stabilization Advisory Committee will be supported professionally and administratively by
City and SLDC staff.

Final Approval of Properties for Stabilization. The LRA Commission will review all
stabilization candidate nominations regardless of determination by the Stabilization Advisory
Committee. The LRA Commission is the final approving authority as to the utilization of NS
Project funds to stabilize LRA-owned buildings.
