Commission discussion:
Heidi concerned that the new rental at 60% AMI is too high
Rich likes the Development Timing proposed amendment as he feels it promotes developers to partner with low income or non-profit projects.
Echo does not like the Housing Distribution proposed amendment, feels it adds to the stigma.
Jackie feels the opposite
Gina feels she does not see that in Snowberry
Heidi in regard to Term of Affordability, she is concerned about repairs needs after 30 years and how low income would handle that.
