PlanningBoard | 2015-09-14 | 7 | President Henneberry closed the public hearing. Board Member Köster said the progress on Universal Design and changes to the secondary unit ordinance are promising. Board Member Knox White said that we need to set the bar high for this report since it is the first one and will be a template in future years. He said he will be asking staff to be completing some of the reporting more fully. He said the goals for the Rent Review Advisory Committee should be revised. He said we should look at tracking 60-day evictions. He said the secondary unit ordinance is not working as is and needs to be reviewed. He said we need to be more mindful of what types and sizes of units are built going forward, not just building the biggest houses we can. Board Member Burton said we need to get the Universal Design ordinance in place as soon as possible. He said changing the second unit ordinance can help alleviate the rental crisis and make homeownership more affordable. He said he would support revisiting and raising the inclusionary housing percentage. President Henneberry said the rent review portion needed to be toughened up. Board Member Knox White made a motion to continue the item for further refinement. The motion was seconded by Board Member Köster. The motion passed 6-0. 7-D 2015-2062 Board Elections President Henneberry asked if there were any nominations for President of the Planning Board.
