Inclusionarv Zonin2 for the City of Louisville: Heather Balser/Callan Childs Letter from Heather to take Ethics training. Scott needs to go either Nov 2 or Nov 6th. Doris is scheduled already. This meeting is not listed at the Recreation Center and Library (Belinda send these out- notify Belinda that they are still not being posted). Sheri will talk to Belinda about this. Callan, Jay, Heather, Paul and Sean had a meeting about the ordinance with Sam. Jay encouraged staffto get it on the Planning commission meeting. Heather was not too positive about doing that, felt it was being rushed; may be some repercussions from the public. November would be the first time the public could comment on this ordinance. Paul said that it could be on the Agenda for Nov. Use the upcoming meeting to get the concepts out to the Planning Commission. He thinks that the PC should start wading through the concepts of this ordinance and may need the Boards assistance at some point. Comments at this point would be clarity of intent and applicability. Do not sit on it for 30 days is his recommendation. Concern may be how to implement this ordinance. Paul supports what the HA wants to do, but needs to be able to understand how to explain to someone how it applies to them. He would like LHA's input with the cash-in-lieu payments. Callan said that most developers have done this in other cities. .and how is Louisville different than those cities. Price point is very important issue. Paul has some comments. Has to put together planning commission staff reports together this week. In terms of "permanently affordable", is this truly forever? The theory is that it never ends, it remains affordable forever. This is the goal. Can change to say permanently affordable rather than say it will be affordable forever. Rental component is confusing to Paul. It probably will not apply right now, and will need a specific action from City Council in the future... will this be a rental conversion (condo- ownership)? If this will apply against rental developments. Do we take out the "rental" piece in the ordinance and just include ownership? If we do not include it now, the process will take too long to get it in. Is there any concern that if we didn't have it in this ordinance, that developers will decide to go with rentals. How do you administer rental units? Income verification and rent verification annually. Ordinance should have statements in there if it is a rental unit and how would things apply? You need to have a separate rental section with guidelines.
