Item Summary: In January, the Steering Committee was provided an overview of the 2008 Land

Those recommendations were later evaluated by a joint session of the City Council and Planning
& Zoning Cormission on January 10, 2019 and new Land Use Goals were confirmed by City
Council on February 26, 2019. At their March and April meetings, the Steering Committee
evaluated draft housing policies on the council directed themes of preservation, diversity and
affordability. The recommendations of the Steering Committee were forwarded to a Joint Session
of the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council on April 10, 2019. The
recommendations of the Joint Session were then presented to City Council at the April 23, 2019
workshop. City Council directed staff to give the Steering Committee an opportunity to vote on
the proposed housing policies. The Steering Committee was provided additional information on
the draft policies at their May 16, 2019 meeting and an opportunity to request any additional
information.
Summary of Discussion: Steering Committee members voted on individual policies as presented.
The outcome is to provide the City Council a recommendation for each of the draft housing
policies for their review at their 6/25/2019 workshop.
The discussion on this topic generally included comments and questions relating to further
clarification of the policies, purpose of the policies, and questions about decision making and
presenting the final product to City Council. Nelson provided clarification for Committee
members on the process and implementation. Nelson also sought feedback from Committee
members regarding their voting decisions and asked members to provide comments for
recommended modifications to the policies.
