Read the motion as recorded
“Councilwoman Kilgore moved to approve the conditional zoning request for the property located at 130 Charlotte St. from Community Business I (CBI) to Commercial Expansion - Conditional Zone (COM EXP-CZ) with the amendment to the conditions that the designed affordable units to those earning 80% of AMI be for a period of 30 years from final completion of the development; and find that the request is reasonable, is in the public interest, and is consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan or other adopted plans in that the request: 1) encourages responsible growth by increasing the city’s housing supply and locating housing density and new jobs in a locationally efficient area, 2) makes streets more walkable, comfortable and connected by supporting multimodal transportation such as transit, bicycling and walking, 3) celebrates the unique identity of neighborhoods through creative placemaking; and, 4) increases and diversifies the housing supply by providing contextually appropriate infill development that includes housing, including affordable housing.”
