Planning Commission Meeting Minutes January 8, 2015 Page 12 of 23 rolling as we continue with this project. She thinks the benefits far outweigh the fiscal impact and look forward to continuing to hear community input and adjoining neighbor input. Rice thanks Russ for the written presentation as it contained a lot of information and it was very accessible and easy to understand. He has concerns about the fiscal impact as these are not inconsequential numbers. He is sensitive to the policy considerations that are driven by this kind of project. These are not easy to put specific numbers on as the applicant has given good testimony to as well. It comes down to the question that Commissioner Tengler suggested early on, that it becomes a question of balance and what degree of disparity we have. There comes a point in time when it is so far out of skew that you cannot rationalize it. He appreciates the discussion on fiscal impacts and how it has to be weighed. He supports the project because there are a lot of positives that come out of it. Russell thanks Norie Boyd and BCHA. He thinks her answer on the fiscal impact questions was probably as good an answer as he has heard anyone give. He thinks our fiscal impact analysis approach is really tricky and not always very helpful because there is no context for it. It does not speak to how we perform financially as a community. The impulse is always to treat it like a financial analysis. We cannot use it that way as there is so much more value to does not get captured. It is a misapplication to think that we can slice this community in every sort of way and every slice is going to look good financially. He is not too concerned about the fiscal analysis. He is impressed with the BVSD response to this query as it is the most substantive information we have received from them. He loves the introduction of the artist co -housing, is a fan of the Art Underground, and thinks their programming is so important to what they are trying to accomplish. He knows there will be pushback. He encourages BCHA to embrace the public input and the dialogue, but remain true to what you are trying to accomplish. He thinks this may be the most important project the PC will do this year as it will have a great impact on our community. He supports annexation. Pritchard agrees with all comments. He agrees this is important for the community. This is what we have said historically and what we have tried to accomplish.
