PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Density Bonus Housing Agreement - Housing Authority Partners 1, Inc. - Community Development Director Shaw reported on June 19, 2007, the City Council approved multiple requests to allow for the development of a 71-unit senior housing complex on approximately 3.63 acres located on tile east side of Webster Street, north of Lugonia Avenue. On staffs recommendation, the City Council continued, to this time and place, consideration of a Density Bonus Housing Agreement to allow a 35 percent increase above the maximum residential density permitted by the Medium-Density Residential General Plan designation and the R-2 (Multiple Family Residential) District zoning proposed for the project site, and including two development incentives that would allow a reduction in the required parking and allow buildings to exceed the maximum linear dimension requirement. Because the project is designed for low- or very- low income seniors, it is eligible for this incentive. The Redevelopment Agency is working concurrently on additional incentive agreements. These agreements should be consistent with the density bonus agreement. Since final concurrence has not yet been reached on the Redevelopment Agency incentive agreements, staff is recommending the density bonus agreement be tabled. Councilmember Gilbreath moved to table the density bonus agreement with Housing Partners 1, Incorporated for Assessor's Parcel No. 167-201-68. Motion seconded by Councilmember Gil and carried unanimously. Councilmember Gil asked that an update be provided on the next City Council's Consent Calendar to keep Councilmembers informed of the progress of the negotiations.
