CityCouncil | 2020-01-21 | 9 | Acting Chair Knox White stated the developer will return for zoning; part of the developer's due diligence could be to understand what the City is looking for in relation to the use of the project. The City Attorney stated the zoning decision is quasi-judicial; noted the regular process of having the full Council hear the quasi-judicial action should be followed. Chair Ezzy Ashcraft expressed support for Commissioner Daysog's proposal; stated a 30-day delay is not significant to the greater scheme of the project; the delay allows the ability to look at options which could include looking at the process to get more affordable housing; the delay is reasonable; expressed support for a 30-day hiatus for a subcommittee to return. Commissioner Oddie inquired whether the item requires 3 or 4 votes, to which the Community Development Director responded 3 votes. Commissioner Oddie inquired the duration of the proposed delay, to which the City Manager responded 60-days. The Community Development Director stated the delay would be a minimum of 60 days. Commissioner Oddie stated that he would like more than 3 affordable housing units. The Community Development Director noted the request; stated a representative from Branagh is present as well. Acting Chair Knox White stated the path to more affordable housing is unclear; noted the City can ask the Housing Authority to assist in finding funding affordable housing; expressed concern for delaying an additional 60 days when the outcome is unclear. Chair Ezzy Ashcraft stated the Housing Authority is not the only developer of affordable housing. Commissioner Oddie stated that he would like more information about how many units the project will be and how many of those units will be affordable; questioned whether the project would lack approval with 20 units total and 3 affordable units. Commissioner Daysog stated a 60-day delay is not required; expressed support for a 30-day delay to work out details and negotiate trade-offs. The Community Development Director stated staff can work out details, but a staff report would be due at the end of the 30-day delay causing another 30-day delay.
