Mr. Bocian agreed that staff could bring back more information and suggestions for providing incentives to get more affordable for sale homes. Ms. Ayala agreed it might be a good idea for the Affordable Housing Commission to review the guidelines. It was not clear to her what the other members of Council were asking for. Mr. Pico referred to the upcoming joint meeting with the Affordable Housing Commission and felt that would be a good time to talk about the guidelines and work through the issues. He did not think there were any projects pending that would be affected by the guidelines. Ms. Acosta said there would be a project at Staples Ranch in a couple of months. Mr. Bocian clarified that the issues of concern were inclusion of moderate income units, the length of time for the restrictions on resale and another review about using the Affordable Housing Fund to reimburse the General Fund for waived fees. Mr. Tarver believed the only way to get people to develop low income housing is to provide incentives, such as growth management allocations, etc. He felt the Commission could make suggestions in that regard. It would be helpful for him to review case studies on projects that have had fees waived to determine if the same actions would be taken again based on the guidelines. Mr. Bocian said that had been done, but staff would bring the information back to Council.
