The length of term for affordable housing was discussed. Some of the 15 year terms are about to come due; there are more that had a 25 year term. Chair Barker also advised that the Housing Commission is expecting the Planning Commission to review development plans to verify that the low income housing units have the same amenities and features that the for sale units have. Chair Barker advised them that the Planning Commission does not review the plans in such detail. Mr. Beougher advised that from the exterior, the two housing types are indistinguishable; as to the interior, the Commission has no control over what features are used in the two housing types. Staff feels previous projects have had the same amenities in all housing types. Chair Barker would like it stated in future staff reports on low or moderate income housing projects what, if any, fees are being waived. Staff believes those facts have always been listed in the staff report. No further action was taken. b.

Commissioner Cooper commented that there has been static radio interference in his neighborhood caused by a pole-mounted transformer. Are these owned by the City or by PG&E?

It is not the same situation as McDonald's in Walmart which is an accessory operation within Walmart. Commissioner Lutz inquired about what noise regulation will be used for the Currin applications. The Noise Ordinance states that noise is to be no louder than 60 DB at the property line with no consideration of where the adjacent houses are located. Mr. Iserson concurred that is the main Planning Commission Minutes Page 13 March 12, 1997
