<br />Excerpt: Approved Planning Commission Minutes, September 8, 2021 Page 9 of 9 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Commissioner Pace concurred with the need for density due to the State’s <br />requirements. He asked if the City could do something to help developers obtain <br />funding. <br /> <br />Commissioner Allen agreed that high density development was necessary in the right <br />locations. She suggested a standard of minimum affordability. <br /> <br />Commissioner Morgan stated he was encouraged about the possibility of high-density <br />developments in appropriate areas without being detrimental to the community. He <br />expressed concern that those projects did not currently exist and stated the need to be <br />thoughtful with higher density standards and projects. <br /> <br />Chair Brown stated high density needed to support affordable housing. He discussed <br />the importance of location near transit centers and grocery stores, as well as the <br />capacity of existing infrastructure. <br />
