CityCouncil | 2022-03-15 | 6 | Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated her primary concern is not cost, it is safety followed by aesthetics; people exceed the speed limit; the same parklet on Park Street has been hit twice; expressed support for the Planning, Building and Transportation Director's recommendation to return with comparisons, with costs and benefits. Councilmember Daysog withdrew the motion. Councilmember Knox White stated removing cars would be safest; everything can always be safer; the question is whether an adequate, good faith effort for safety is being provided; people drive onto sidewalks all the time and barriers are not constructed at the intersections where people are doing so; the analysis he wants would be answering is it safe enough.

The Assistant City Manager gave a brief presentation. Councilmember Herrera Spencer discussed the sample tax bill attached to the staff report; stated the taxes would be $20,000 to $26,000 for townhomes; inquired the amount for condominiums. Sara Mares, NBS, responded the first phase of the development, which is only townhomes, is included in the CFD; reviewed the sample tax bill. Councilmember Herrera Spencer inquired whether the tax would not apply to the condominiums. Ms. Mares responded the CFD is not applicable to any properties but the townhomes at this time; stated the boundary map has the other phases of the project in the future annexation area; there is potential the condominiums could be annexed in the future, which would require Council approval. In response to Councilmember Herrera Spencer's inquiry about the likelihood of annexation, the Assistant City Manager stated there is a large amount of infrastructure, which makes annexation probable; the decision is not being made at this time since the project is not being constructed yet.
