Commissioner Narum said she thought the 178 units in Iron Horse development were spread across senior apartments and not concentrated in one building. Mr. Fialho said they were all dispersed but contained within the same complex itself. Commissioner Olson said he was open-minded and was aware of the great job Bridge Housing has done in other communities. Councilmember McGovern voiced concerns about all-affordable housing for families. She believed children living in those developments have some types of labels put on them and she would much rather seen inclusionary if at all possible. Vice Mayor Thorne said he was open-minded based upon Mr. Sweeney's comments and thinks the item should be included as an important part of discussions that occur after this meeting. Councilmember Cook-Kallio reiterated that when she visited Camellia Place, an affordable housing site, she had no understanding of what inclusionary versus stand-alone was and it was not anything she thought it would be. Therefore, she believed some education would be helpful. Councilmember Sullivan agreed then it would be explored in the context of the process and the Commission and Council is not saying yes or no until they discuss other issues, as yet to be worked through. ADJOURNMENT: There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 10:38 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Karen Diaz City Clerk CC/PC Joint Workshop Minutes 18 August 27, 2008
