Read the motion as recorded
“Councilwoman Roney moved to approve the proposed wording amendments to Articles II, III, V, VIII, IX, and XVII of the UDO with the conditions that the public benefits table be amended to reflect the prioritization of affordable housing and reparation options, an across the board 100% increase in the required total points from the public benefits table presented to Council on February 9th, and adjustments to point allocations intended to incentivize equity-related benefits, and find that the proposed amendments are reasonable, are in the public interest, are consistent with the City’s comprehensive plan and meet the development needs of the community in that the amendment will (1) manage the growth of new hotels, (2) offset the impacts of hotels by incentivizing the provision of public benefits into new hotel development projects, (3) promote quality architecture, building design and placemaking, and (4) provide a clear and transparent development review process for hotels by coming to the City Council Planning & Economic Development Committee for quarterly review and the full Council.”
