CityCouncil | 2014-12-02 | 21 | The City Planner stated the amendment specifies the maximum units to be built on the land owned by the developer is limited to 380. Councilmember Daysog stated that he would like an alternative amendment not to allow development of Parcel B or C. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she is concerned Councilmember Daysog's amendment would eliminate the 31 low and very low affordable housing units. Councilmember Chen inquired whether the units could be added back if Parcel B is acquired in the future, to which Councilmember Tam responded in the affirmative; stated a future Council can approve adding the units back. Mayor Gilmore stated Councilmember Tam would like the project to be viable in the event Parcel B is not acquired by the developer. Councilmember Tam concurred with the Mayor; stated the number of affordable housing units would be preserved. The City Planner clarified that the number of affordable units would not change, but there would be a reduction in market rate units. The City Attorney stated the DA does not commit the City to conveying Parcel B; Parcel B is identified as consideration for the Clement Avenue extension; if Parcel B is removed from the DA it might affect the benefit. In response to the City Attorney's inquiry, Mayor Gilmore stated there is no change to the Master Plan or the DA, the Council is just stating that in the event the City parcel is not conveyed to the Developer, the project could still move forward and provide the affordable housing, reducing the number of units from 414 to 380. The City Planner clarified the process; stated at a future date, the Developer and the HA would ask the City to convey land to the HA; the developer would then convey their portion of Parcel B to the HA; the HA would own all of Parcel B; with the amendments proposed by Councilmember Tam, the developer would still be responsible for all 55 affordable housing units and limited to 380 units on the land they own. *** Mayor Gilmore called a recess at 1:44 a.m. and reconvened the meeting at 1:58 a.m. *** Councilmember Daysog moved approval of focusing the Master Plan solely on the 300 plus units being built in the brick building and not allow development on Parcel B and C.
