PlanningBoard | 2014-03-10 | 5 | Mr. Bill Smith, commented for the need of stabilization housing in the city. He is concern there isn't a repeat of the Neptune Beach site and the last HE. He suggested the coordination groups didn't include EBRPD and AUSD. He agreed with Ms. Lord-Hausman, as their comments are incorporated and collaborated with other groups for the HE. Ms. Karen Bey, commented on being excited to see the development of the waterfront. She is concerned with the lack of development on Webster Street corridor. She agreed to allocate numbers to senior housing and it is a need. She is concerned with Rent Stabilization policies exempt many large developers for having to follow the policy. President Burton closed public comment. Board member Köster thanked staff for getting this draft done and this is clearer than the last one. He agreed senior housing should be addressed, and asked about the current pipeline for projects and could that be included in the staff report. Mr. Thomas stated the pipeline report is the AHA and affordable housing efforts moving forward. Board member Köster asked about parking and could we be cautious and careful with managing the parking issues around town, and he wants to see the transit routes. He agreed AUSD and EBRPD need to get this draft. Mr. Thomas stated there are no proposals to change parking regulations. The state requires to look at regulations annually, only to review. The AUSD site is still zoned residential. There are no new sites in the new HE. Board member Knox White thanked staff for the hard work. He would like to have a discussion on diversity of housing and to support a quality of life. There is a need to take care of the people who live here, and the General Plan should reflect this. We should support transit, and housing can support the economy (people shop here). Strategies should support goals, and goals are based on policies. He would like to know why the work/live ordinance program is being deleted, and APC rehab program being deleted. We should look at developing a multi-family program, and a program to look at parking. Vice President Henneberry thanked staff for the hard work at getting this draft done. He asked if a Rent Stabilization Ordinance (RSO) being part of the HE. Mr. Thomas stated it is not part of the HE. The RSO is a new issue to the city. The HE is made of policies and programs. Universal Design was in the last HE, but the ordinance is written yet. It can be decided if this should go into the HE, but there isn't time to get the ordinance process completed for actual inclusion into the HE, but it can be mentioned. Board member Zuppan thanked staff for the draft being more clear and to the point. She wanted table numbers to be looked into. She is also concerned about transit and sites Approved Regular Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 7 March 10, 2014 | PlanningBoard/2014-03-10.pdf |
