I am writing to you today to ask you to repeal the existing Affordable Housing Ordinance (AHO) and vote no on the
new proposed AHO. The tangible and intangible costs of the incentives being offered through the proposed
ordinance outweigh the benefits. Furthermore, we encourage the commission to focus staff's efforts and public
engagement on reviewing the 2020 Community Plan, as is mandated by state law to be completed this year, before
moving forward with writing a draft of the UDC. This document informs so many of the city's plans, including the
UDC, and we believe it is the best use of taxpayer time and money to update the Community Plan prior to investing
any more in plans that are downstream of it. Thank you for your time and consideration.
