This meeting of the Planning and Economic Development Standing Committee covered a public hearing for a brownfield redevelopment project, a discussion on secondary street sign policies, and multiple property sales and contracts. The committee voted on several items, sending most to formal session with recommendations for approval.
Planning and economic development standing committee meeting. Mr. Clerk, will you please call the roll? Councilmember Latisa Johnson present. Councilmember Gabriel Santiago Romero. Member Santiago Romero did indicate that she would not be present. Clerk will say no. Council President Pro Tem coming on the second. Yeah. Madam Chair, there's a quorum. Thank you. We are back in session. And we shall continue with our 1025 public hearing. And it is now a time for us to ask any questions. Pro Tim, I'm not sure if you have any questions. I will get us started. I appreciate the Universal Design and the Geothermal and the details that were provided relative to the project. I do have a couple of questions, noting that the focus is on workforce housing. Scott, correct, on our lot. It's on our property. That's correct. I still and then the parcel that you own, that is basically the overflow parking. Is that correct? That's correct. Okay. Further in terms of the pro forma and keeping consistent with sort of the goals and objectives be underneath the Mishta Housing Workforce Brownfield Program. The um seven units that are between 60 and not more than you know 80% AMI. There are no associated parking costs with those units that are going to be charged to the tenants. If I mean correctly answering that question. But the the second, and that that'll, I think, primarily help the commercial tenant um I believe, but it'll also uh have an effect on this. But also um, you know, we we've got uh other buildings uh in the area. We did a seven unit, no parking, uh, and it hasn't been a problem uh at all. Matter of fact, uh quite oddly, it's we have to find the space to put uh everybody's bicycle. Um that that's that's been similar to the issue storing them in the halls. Um but but the last uh point there is the city just recently came in and put parking meters there. It's if if you can Google Earth it right now, you'll see there's nothing down there. And um, you know, uh I know the rest of uh second here because the city again for whatever reason came and put in a bunch of meters. These are all apartment buildings here. I'm looking at them right now. Um, and these are residents uh that were were gonna get ticketed to death. I uh again, Sue Mosey. I I you know raise her every waking moment of the day. Um, that uh enough noise was made that these meters are not active between Canfield and Warren uh because of the uh apartment uh density here and um the city I understand was working on a residential parking permit plan. That was going to be uh the trigger to make these things active. I would similarly move that that meter not be uh you know made active because there's nothing but residents there, there's a handful of uh buildings, and um so that would be something else that that you know parking needs some some looking at in general and mr. Mr. Sorry for the rant. Yeah, yeah. Um I would actually encourage you. I'm not sure if you've had that conversation with anyone.
