He stated there needs to be better design and aesthetics features; the plan is the same only with a new owner. He stated the project was no better today than before. Councilmember Brandes stated he was not on Council when this was previously considered so he had investigated the matter on his own, and added that he did not vote for Amador Meadows as a winner in the original competition. He stated he is impressed with the manufactured homes and has confidence in the developer to perform. He stated this is an opportunity to provide affordable housing in the community, and he felt it could be properly maintained and controlled by the CC&R's, therefore he would support the Quail Creek project as a winner over the Amador Meadows project. Councilmember Mohr stated the Amador Meadows project has many positive features such as location and variety of design. She stated the cost feature of the Quail Creek project has been the most critical point in her consideration regarding this development. She stated she felt there are adequate parks in the area to meet the concerns regarding park and recreation facilities and that the improvements to Pico Avenue will relieve traffic congestion. She concluded by stating that because of the affordability of the Quail Creek units she would support the project. Councilmember Wood stated he had twice voted against this project but had not looked at it as low cost housing. He stated the City does need to provide afford- able housing and some sacrifices may have to be made in design and aesthetics in order to allow development of this type of housing. Mayor Butler stated he had not supported this project before and could not do so this time. He stated his major concerns were the ability of the duplex units to work as family units, serious traffic problems with Vineyard Avenue, and 247 units being outside the scope of competition, adding that affordability is not the only criteria to consider in the competition.
