The Partnership <br />asked each local jurisdiction to consider a resolution to adopt a strategy to address <br />affordable housing. The Council adopted a statement on September 19 and the <br />presented resolution is well aligned with the resolution requested by the partnership. <br />This is a county -wide goal for 10-15% of county housing to be a diverse mix of <br />affordable housing by 2035. <br />Staff recommends support for the resolution. <br />Councilmember Leh stated the consortium felt the regional summit was a success; the <br />next step is really ours. <br />Public comments. None. <br />Councilmember Loo asked about the percentage goal, is the number calculated on <br />current population or does it ratchet up based on the number of residents you have. <br />Davis stated the specific number applied each year has not been specified, it would be <br />12% of the total housing stock in 2035. Councilmember Loo asked if the 12% is specific <br />to each municipality's population or to the county -wide population. <br />Councilmember Leh stated that is a countywide number, not a specific number to each <br />municipality. It is a cooperative countywide goal. <br />28 <br />
