CityCouncil | 2016-11-01 | 13 | Mayor Spencer stated the original number was 200; inquired about the extra 67 units. The Redevelopment Project Manager responded 267 units is what the Collaborative proposed. Mayor Spencer inquired whether all the 267 are affordable units, with no market rate. The Redevelopment Project Manager responded in the affirmative; stated the units would be low and very low income housing. Mayor Spencer inquired whether there is any market rate to pay for the 267 affordable housing units. The Base Reuse Director responded the Collaborative will finance the additional 67 units as part of the project; the Collaborative will help the City finance the 67 low and very low units; the City would need to deliver improved infrastructure; a certain number of market rate units are needed in order to support the infrastructure of the market rate units and the Collaborative site; more analysis needs to be done as part of the RFQ process. Mayor Spencer inquired what the real cost is for the 67 units; inquired if the Collaborative is going from 200 to 267 units. The Base Reuse Director responded 267 units would be on 10 acres. Councilmember Daysog stated that he is not ready to hand over 67 units without doing some level of due diligence. The Base Reuse Director stated staff is trying to create a planning and regulatory framework so that the Collaborative and the City can move forward with the next phase of development in the Main Street neighborhood. Councilmember Daysog stated the Collaborative is responsible for delivering 200 units; if the Collaborative wants an additional 67 units, he would like the Collaborative to argue its case; he does not want to set a precedence that 67 units belongs to the Collabrative. The Base Reuse Director stated said issue can be a part of the RFQ process; the Collaborative Partners can attend the meeting to justify why 67 units are needed. Councilmember Daysog stated the problem is the document states the 67 units will be given to the Collaborating Partners. The Base Reuse Director stated nothing in the plan mentions the 67 units; the plan says in order to provide the Collaborating Partners with the infrastructure to the site, market rate housing would need to be used for financing.
