Discussion and action to provide a recommendation to City Council relating to prioritizing city- owned land for the development of income-restricted senior housing. (Sponsors: Commissioner Woods and Maxwell) The motion was approved with the following friendly amendment on motion by Commissioner Woods, seconded by Commissioner Maxwell on an 11-0 vote. The friendly amendment from Vice Chair Azhar was to recommend to City Council prioritizing city- owned land, especially within ETODs, for the development of income-restricted shared- equity senior housing and housing for people with disabilities, including cooperative housing and community land trusts (CLTs), and to add the following to the recommendation: • There are about 42.5 million Americans with disabilities, making up 13% of the including people with hearing, vision, civilian noninstitutionalized population, cognitive, walking, self-care, or independent living difficulties. • Shared or cooperative housing fosters connections, support, and positive health outcomes among residents, something older adults, especially those who would otherwise be living alone, benefit greatly from. The health and financial security of senior residents and residents with disabilities is an inherent good, but also lessens the burden on the City to provide services, support, and crisis care to seniors who may otherwise be housing insecure or fall into homelessness. • Stipulating development of shared or cooperative housing for seniors and people with disabilities within walkable, mixed-use, ETODs enhances the mobility of seniors, giving them the ability to more fully participate in the economy; access healthcare, goods, and services; and socialize more widely. This was accepted by the maker of the motion, Commissioner Woods, and Commissioner Maxwell, who seconded the motion. There was a substitute motion from Commissioner Haynes, seconded by Commissioner Mushtaler, to recommend to City Council prioritizing city-owned land focused within but not limited to ETODs, for the development of income-restricted shared equity housing, including cooperative housing and community land trusts, with the appropriate licensing and inspection of housing of individuals over seven adults outside of the second degree of consanguinity. This motion failed on a 1-9 vote. Those voting aye were: Commissioner Haynes. Those voting nay were: Chair Hempel, Commissioners Anderson, Howard, Johnson, Maxwell, Mushtaler, Phillips, Skidmore, Woods. Vice Chair Azhar abstained. There was a friendly amendment by Commissioner Mushtaler to add to the recommendation to City Council that licensing and oversight apply to the development of income-restricted shared equity senior housing, including cooperative housing and community land trusts. This was not accepted by the maker of the motion, Commissioner Woods, or Commissioner Maxwell, who seconded the motion. The substitute motion that the recommendation to City Council, as approved in the main motion with the friendly amendment by Vice Chair Azhar, become a resolution from the Planning Commission was approved on Commissioner Wood’s motion, Commissioner Maxwell’s second on a 10-1 vote. Those voting aye were: Chair Hempel, Vice Chair Azhar, Commissioners Anderson, Haynes, Howard, Johnson, Maxwell, Phillips, Skidmore, Woods.
