Speaker 8: The Planning Lens and Zoning Committee Agenda 24 Council 118 854 Relating to land use and zoning expressing City Council's ten for implementation of Chapter 23.58 B the committee recommends the bill passes amended.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Councilmember Johnson Thank you very much. Council President. This action is approving modifications to the mandatory housing affordability commercial framework. The framework was originally established through Council ordinance in November 2015. Since that time, we have adopted a residential program framework which had some changes in policy direction, including some higher performance standards, higher payment requirements, increasing the term of affordability to 75 years, and additional reporting requirements. This bill updates the commercial program to be more consistent with those council changes to the residential program. It also makes some technical changes intended to further consistency with the residential program and addressing areas like permitting incentive zoning interaction requirements for performance units like affirmative marketing and updates, the severe economic hardship modification provision. The committee made some amendments to the bill, including to the intent language regarding support for locally owned businesses. Thank you. Councilmember Herbold Herbert with historic and cultural significance and revising and reinserting a map with program requirements which is needed to apply to contract reasons. So I believe that the changes that we make made and hopefully will adopt today really reflect an updated and improved version of the commercial framework. For those who aren't familiar with the framework in and of itself, this is a requirement for all new commercial buildings to pay into our program to build more affordable housing. So this is going to result in additional resources for us to continue to address our housing crisis. And I'm happy to bring this forward to council. Hope for your support.
