Attn: Community Development Board and City Commission,
Thank you and City Staff for the improvements to the Affordable Housing Ordinance that
hopefully will result in more housing affordability for a longer period of time, and a betterquality of housing for those inhabiting the affordable units produced.
Unfortunately, the ordinance does not adequately protect the public's right to appeal, the
reviewer's ability to limit adverse impacts, or the historic character of our core neighborhoods.
This is unacceptable.
Please add the following provisions from the original ordinance back into this newversion before you approve or adopt it:
1. From the original ordinance 2105, add Section 2, Item I, on page 4 back into this draft.
2. Item J on page 4 of 2105 needs to be added back into this draft.
3. Item K on page 4 needs to be added.
4. Most importantly, developments proposing to use the AHO incentives within theNCOD need to be required to gain a COA. The entire Section 7 of 2105 needs to beadded back into this ordinance before it is adopted.
Thank you,
Patty McGown
