AI-read · unreviewed28 mentions; quotes verbatim from the captions or agenda, chosen by a model, unchecked by a personI'll be doing the first one on building height and then the accessory dwelling units
then we'll have a final deep dive on sub community and area planning with a particular focus on Alpine balsam
the comprehensive plan specifically calls for the development and ultimately council acceptance of an implementation action plan
the inclusion amendments to the inclusionary housing regulations and that's well along and you'll be seeing that
redevelopment projects of course include the Civic area with a specific focus in the near term on planning for the East bookend
OS OS MP master planning transfer update to the transportation master plan and the library master plan
we may run the risk that we may not get any affordable housing because we've provided a cheaper mean

you just add an kitchen essentially and you occupy it in the same way
our occupancy regulations are a family plus two people well you either have the family in the unit
the difference between an Adu and a single-family home a home with an Adu and a home with that
it would be like allowing a neighborhood to opt out of affordable housing gee we don't like affordable housing
removing the parking requirement loved hear from the public and then exploring location specific implementation
there's a lot of people in the community think less the university's job and every time we create student housing
is are we out to create more student housing and there's a lot of people in the community think less
how much affordable housing do you think you're gonna get out of this anyway and how affordable is it gonna be
will explain the Alpine balsam process that we're proposing
the comprehensive plan as it's been updated does carry forward that current focus on
will be focused around the Alpine balsam community site the site that we currently own now
the planning efforts in the Civic area East bookend and we have facilities planning happening on both
some of these other things would actually be in the list of ongoing and other land use code amend
