Zoning for the property is Planned Unit Development — High Density Residential (PUD -HDR) District. Commissioner Narum recused herself and left the dais. Rosalind Rondash presented the staff report and described the background, scope, and key elements of the proposal. She then noted that staff has given the Commission a memo which includes updates on the Housing Commission's recommendation regarding affordable housing, as well as some additional conditions of approval that are potentially going to be incorporated into the project and for which staff would like the Commission to provide its input. Chair Blank requested Ms. Rondash to summarize the memo for the public, who have not had a chance to read it. Ms. Rondash stated that at its May 2, 2013 meeting, the Housing Comrnission discussed the affordable housing elements that could be incorporated into the project and outlined its recommendation of a total of 35 rent - restricted, affordable units at 50 percent Area Median Income (AMI) limits for a three - person household, which is approximately $40,000, to be provided at this level of affordability. She added that the Housing Commission also recommended a total of 16 affordable units that may be used towards the inclusionary unit credits to facilitate other developments try ng to meet their affordable housing. She noted that assuming the developers are successful in security the partnership for the 16 units, the project would have a total of 42 affordable units: 35 units at 50- percent AMI and seven units at 100 - percent AMI.

She noted that the memo also notes the addition of a few words that were left out at the end of Condition No. 12. Mr. Dolan stated that he would like to add to Ms. Rondash discussion regarding the two additional potential conditions in the staff memo. He indicated that with the construction of this project, the access to ValleyCare is different and they do not really have access off of West Las Positas Boulevard, which is the street on which it is addressed and their front entrance faces. He noted that a number of different solutions were discussed, and staff thought that the issue was resolved, but evidently it was not. He added that until very recently, since the staff report was published, all the parties kind of agreed that the solution would be to add another driveway; staff had some concerns about its distance from the corner, but ultimately worked through those concerns and was satisfied that an additional driveway will work.
