    Draft SHAR overlay ordinance

    Discussed

    Planner Brittney Harris presented a revised draft with new definitions, attainability standards and setbacks matching planned communities. It is no longer a citywide overlay: council would decide through development agreements. Attainable lots would be deed restricted to owner occupancy in perpetuity, with similar materials as standard homes and a proposed price point of $400,000. Council Member Stallings said the draft devalues landowners' property and saw affordable housing and free-market land pricing as in conflict; Council Member Newall worried that earmarking areas creates entitlements; Mayor Johnson did not want council controlling the market; Council Member Albrecht asked why a similar earlier overlay was denied. City Engineer Brad Kenison said engineering prefers this version.

    SHAR affordable housing overlay discussion

    Discussed

    Planner Brittney Harris presented options for a small-home affordable housing overlay, from allowing it anywhere with a 50% density bonus to more limited models, using existing subdivisions as examples. Feedback from Flagship Homes was that a $400,000 price point may need public-private partnerships or alternative ownership. Council Member Newall favored deed restrictions and creating new homeowners; Council Member Condie favored a flex zone, a higher price point of $500,000 and developer flexibility; Council Member Stallings was uneasy approving it without a trial period; Council Member Hancock favored a hybrid of a flex zone and development agreements; Mayor Johnson favored keeping options for builders with council approval of projects. Harris summarized that the council favors the zone being available citywide with the 50% bonus if layouts and designs come to council, with a $400,000 price goal and flexibility with justification.
