CityCouncil | 2014-04-15 | 18 | Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated the $50,000 per unit fee seems punitive. The City Manager stated the fee is effective banking against a future penalty. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated remaining flexible is important; there is less concern with the number of units at Site A as long as additional money will be assessed. Mayor Gilmore stated the concern is not necessarily about the number of units, but the burden on future development; the historic structures would be the least able to carry the $50,000 per unit penalty. Councilmember Daysog stated that he is ready to move forward and wants to be clear that building beyond the 1400 units is not within Council's scope. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft moved approval of staff recommendation with the modification that the RFQ will assign at least 800 units for Site A with the stipulation that any number units above 800 would include a $50,000 per unit fee; and RFQ submittals are not to include site plans or renderings at this stage. Councilmember Daysog seconded the motion. Councilmember Chen requested an amendment to the motion to amend the $150,000 deposit to $250,000. Vice Chair Ezzy Ashcraft suggested $200,000 deposit as a compromise. Councilmember Chen agreed to a $200,000 deposit. Mayor Gilmore summarized the motion to approve the staff recommendation with the amendments of a $200,000 deposit on Site A, a $50,000 premium on units over 800, and the stipulation that site plans and renderings are not to be submitted at this stage. On the call for the question, the motion carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
