CityCouncil | 2018-01-02 | 13 | The Assistant Community Development Director responded different properties can have different zoning caps. The City Attorney stated the details would need to be worked out depending on Council's prerogative. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired how the dollar amount is determined in the MOU language subparagraph 3 on page 1: Carmel shall provide a fixed payment " The Assistant Community Development Director responded the language means the City is requesting the money in the event Carmel cannot build the roads; the blanks are because the City has to estimate the cost of building the roads. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the language should be clearer. The Assistant Community Development Director responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the language " .Carmel will work cooperatively with the City" includes sufficient specificity so that each party knows its obligations.

Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the language regarding the dollar amount for the storm drain can be clearer.

Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the City, in any way, vetted Carmel Partners' claim that the project will net $100,000 annually to the General Fund. The Assistant Community Development Director responded the City is comfortable with the claim after reviewing it; stated if the Council would like the claim peer reviewed, staff can do so. Mayor Spencer inquired whether Carmel Partners can return and want to build market rate housing without the cap or sell the property to someone without a cap. The Assistant Community Development Director responded removing the cap benefits the Housing Authority; Carmel's plans are to rehabilitate 146 units; stated lifting the cap provides value to the land.
