CityCouncil | 2018-11-27 | 11 | Councilmember Oddie moved introduction of the ordinance. Vice Mayor Vella seconded the motion. Under discussion, Vice Mayor Vella stated the Golden Gate Audubon Society has done great work in educating both Council and the community on the regulation's impacts; discussed impacts to affordable housing costs, and potential window treatments. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft expressed concern over the added cost to affordable housing projects; inquired how enforcement would be done to ensure alternative window coverings are closed in the evening and the estimated added cost to affordable housing projects. The Planning, Building and Transportation Director responded he does not have an estimated added cost; stated the ordinance has two exceptions as written: historic structures and glazing on commercial storefronts; Council may add a third exemption for affordable housing projects, if desired. Mayor Spencer stated that she has not heard a request from the affordable housing community to be included as an exemption.
