with the affected tenant, etc." He felt the apartment owner should be the one to work with the tenants, not the City. In Program 18.9, he would delete the word "extended" to emphasize perpetuity. Program 19.4 - he would add to the end of the sentence "while increasing development fees for larger residential dwelling units to ensure a no-net-revenue loss of housing fees." Program 19.6 at the end of the sentence, he would delete "such as construction defect litigation." He would delete "moderate" in several places because of the conflict between the housing cap and the15% target for aftbrdable housing. Under Policy 30 there is reference to the third highest priority for City approval and asked what the first and second priorities were. Mr. Iserson replied the first priority was non-profit housing developers and the second is for-profit housing developers who provide affordable housing. The third priority is for those who provide smaller units. Mr. Hovingh felt Goal 12 was great. Goal 14 he would add "based on the income and number of jobs in the City." He liked Policy 40. He has long supported for the downtown that first floor be retail and second floor be office and third floor residential, with the second floor office to pay for the elevators. Parking would be taken care of because the residents would not use the parking in the daytime and the businesses could use it. At night, the businesses are closed and the residents would then use the parking spaces. For Policy 4I - change the last sentence to read "For phased developments, ensure that the majority of affordable units are incorporated in the initial stages of development." There were a few more comments, but he would present them in writing later. Again, he appreciated the good work of the Housing Element Task Force. James Paxson, 4473 Willow Road, Suite 105, Chair of the Housing Element Update Task Force, felt everything that needs to be said has been. The important thing is that there is now a document that can be taken to the State. He supported all that the staff has done in response to comments made on November 15,2001 and has been encouraged by what has happened as the new document has been reviewed at the various public hearings over the last couple of months. Council had said it wanted a greater public airing of the issues. He felt that through the work of the Task Force and all the public hearings, as well as coverage in the local media, that public airing has occurred. He felt very comfortable with what staff has presented this evening and he urged Council support. There were no further speakers and the public hearing was closed. It was moved by Mayor Pico, seconded by Ms. Michelotti, to approve the staff recommendations with thc following modification: Program 16.3 is changed to say "Strive to construct, rehabilitate, and conserve thc City's regional share of housing within the constraints of available infrastructure, traffic, air quality and f'mancial limits", Policy 7 and 8 to remain as staff originally recommended; Policy 13, Program 13.2, delete the words "wherever possible"; Program 19.6, delete "such as construction defect litigation." Council discussed the reference of Mr. Hovingh to people who already live here and it was determined that this could cover many situations, including grown children currently living at home.
