Bonanza Park project discussion
Discussed
Parking: Parigian, Ciraco and Dickey supported underground parking; Rubell wanted some at-grade parking and proposed RFP language relieving the developer of current code parking requirements. Kimball Art Center: Parigian wanted a standalone building and noted the affordable master plan limits buildings to three stories; the art center requested about one acre to phase its expansion. Housing: consultants defined workforce housing as 80 to 120 percent of area median income and affordable as 50 to 60 percent; Dickey said the HOPA site needs $10 million to succeed; Rubell favored a 50 percent floor for single-person households. Commercial: Toly opposed subsidizing commercial space; Ciraco wanted smaller or shared spaces. No vote.

100 percent affordable at 25 to 50 percent of area median income; phase one is 50 units of a project of about 300 units across seven parcels. The trust's financing adviser estimated the city might need to contribute $3 million to $6 million over seven years; Rubell wanted future clarity on what the city gets for its money. The Planning Commission gave unanimous support. A speaker compared the EngineHouse subsidy and asked council to address water and traffic impacts.
