Mayor Spencer stated that she thought doing so was already going to happen. Councilmember Matarrese stated that he made a motion so to have staff return to Council in six months. Mayor Spencer inquired what staff's response is to the six month timeline. The City Manager responded staff is in agreement. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired about the affordable by design. The Assistant Community Development Director responded staff could return in six months with an analysis of the affordable by design options; noted a 900 square foot unit sells for less than a larger unit. Councilmember Matarrese stated the question is not whether a 900 square foot unit sells for less than a 1,500 square foot unit, it is whether a 900 square foot unit is affordable for someone in a certain income bracket. Mayor Spencer stated middle income housing was supposed to be reviewed; inquired whether said review has occurred. The Assistant Community Development Director responded said housing has not been built yet. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated the cost to build a 900 square foot unit is less than building an 1,800 square foot unit; a lower cost will presumably mean a lower price.
