CityCouncil | 2008-08-05 | 18 | Mayor/Chair Johnson stated that the normal process would be followed whatever site is selected. The Development Services Director stated the Agreement would have to be amended to give Warmington credit if additional units are constructed. Councilmember/Commissioner Matarrese stated the credit question is within the envelope; the Agreement should address the number of units; where the [off site) units would end up is another matter. Mayor/Chair Johnson stated Councilmember Matarrese is not saying the Agreement should stop at nine units, rather the matter should be left up to the future process; the Developer could raise the issue once a site is selected; the [off site] location is not needed to move the Grand Marina project forward. The Development Services Director stated the Agreement would have to be amended if the Developer came back to get credit for a project over nine units. Mayor/Chail Johnson stated the Agreement would not have to be amended; there could be a separate Agreement to give credit towards a different project. Councilmember/Commissioner deHaan stated the City is going though the Coast Guard housing process which will be no less than 284 houses that could easily be in the affordable range; inquired whether said houses could be included. The Development Services Director responded that she has no idea what said number would be; stated providing accommodations to formerly homeless people is a federal government requirement; it is a whole different product type and is a federal disposition process. The Acting City Manager responded the site is a homeless site, not an affordable housing site under the McKinney Act. Councilmember/Commissioner deHaan inquired whether none of the units could be used [for affordable housing], to which the Acting City Manager responded not for inclusionary needs, but there are other sites that potentially could be used. Louncilmember/Commissioner deHaan stated other developers would ask to move units off site if the Agreement is approved the additional units would land somewhere.
