Councilmember/Commissioner Tam stated the location is great and the proposed use is sorely needed; the City would be selling the property to itself; inquired how staff arrived at the $735,000 purchase price. The Housing Development and Programs Manager responded two appraisals were performed and the difference was split. Councilmember/Commissioner Tam stated the proposal would be to put 19 units on half an acre; inquired how Measure A or Article 26 of the City Charter would apply. The Housing Development and Programs Manager responded the Guyton exemption is a settlement agreement that allows the Housing Authority to develop a number of affordable units exempt from Measure A as long as the Housing Authority is the owner; stated the project would be built pursuant to the Guyton exception and settlement agreement. Councilmember/Commissioner Tam inquired whether the process would include Planning Board design review and site planning, and whether Council would have final approval.
