REVISION TO PAGE
OF THE
SEPTEMBER . 2018 DRAFT MINUTES
Binsack To answer Mason's questions, Binsack stated that City staff assumed a
density average throughout the entire north and south area and made an
assumption that the area could accommodate the 500 units. It was not
assuming that all of the units would be located on one (1) particular parcel,
albeit an individual could request a higher number of units on any particular
parcel, but does not mean the City would have to grant that request.
Kozak Kozak referred to the supplemental item regarding the social media comments,
specifically the affordable housing or lack thereof. He is aware there are efforts
to prod uce/construct/enforce affordable housing, but he also asked how the
City can ensure parking is accommodated on the project site.
Demkowicz Demkowicz referred Kozak's affordable housing question to Jerry Craig.
Relative to the parking, each project would be thoroughly analyzed and the
shared parking study would be provided by a licensed traffic engineer to
ensure there would be enough parking for each project. If after the study is
complete and the project is built and there still is not enough parking, there are
other alternatives or options. Staff has built in enough parking, standards, and
alternatives to accommodate the different mixed-use and/or stand-alone
commercial projects.

Craig Per Jerry Craig, developers will have three (3) options: Option 1) 15 percent
affordability, 6 percent very low, 3.5 percent low, 4.5 percent moderate; Option
2) 12.5 percent affordability 7.5 percent very low, and 5 percent moderate;
Option 3) to provide 5 percent very low or 10 percent low and pay an in lieu
fee (against 50 percent of the base) which i's likely the choice developers will
make. All three (3) of these options, as the ordinance was adopted, allow the
developer to take advantage of the density bonus of 20 percent or more units
as well as what comes along with that which is reduced parking and a
concession.
Lumbard Lumbard mentioned the inclusfor l
%..Olfl thia. zoning ordinance which, at one
time, exempted smaller projects.
Craig Craig responded that developers of nineteen (.19) units or less still need to
comply with the ordinance, They can provide affordable units and pay an in-
lieu fee or they can do it off-site. Fort enty (20) units or more, the developers
can also do it off-site under the "50/50" option,
