Ms. Hagen responded no, stating that the increase in the above market rate units is helping finance the number of affordable units for this project; therefore, there's no net loss related to the current RHNA cycle as the project is meeting the requirements. Ms. Clark continued by stating that "no net loss" a forward-looking capacity assessment that needs to be done, with the need to identify remaining sites without receiving credit from other, alternate sites. Commissioner Allen referenced the next RHNA cycle and inquired about timing of construction and occupation of this site; she inquired whether this location would be eligible for inclusion in the next RHNA cycle count. Mr. Davis responded that he anticipated bringing the project back before the Planning Commission in August, therefore, demolition would start March 2021 . Ms. Hagen discussed the RHNA numbers and stated the numbers are counted at the time of the building permit issuance, not at building occupancy, therefore, these units were likely to be included at the end of the current RHNA cycle. Commissioner Pace referenced there are three buildings to be approved; he inquired about approving two of the three buildings to receive credit for the current RHNA cycle and approving the third building at a later time, to be counted in the future RHNA cycle. Ms. Hagen stated that the project needed to be reviewed and approved as whole and could not be split up and the unlikeliness of these numbers being included in a future RHNA cycle because the buildings had already been on the cycle twice; there were concerns pertaining to state law if they were to be counted in a future cycle. Commissioner Balch referenced the Growth Management ordinance and the credit the City would receive for this project, which would also satisfy the Zoning and Housing Element. He continued by providing details pertaining to building permits. He asked and confirmed with staff when building permits are pulled for this type of construction the credit received for unit production towards Growth Management and RHNA are counted for each building. Ms. Hagen responded that the City reports on the number of building permits issued each year towards Growth Management and RHNA and confirmed this project won't be counted for site inventory in the next RHNA cycle; however, in the yearly reporting, the City reports on the number of building permits issued each year. At the time the yearly reporting is completed and depending upon when these building permits are issued will determine if they can be counted towards the next cycle. Commissioner Balch inquired about the General Plan Amendment and how many were allowed each year. Ms. Clark responded that four General Plan Amendments are allowed per year and confirmed this is the first one for the year.
