Planning ConZmission Special Meeting Minutes Agenclct No. 10-03 March 25, 2010 Page 18 of 20 Commissioner Reed said that he has always been impressed with Mr. Miller and the work he has done. He thanked him for his ability to relay information in such a cohesive and well-organized way. Commissioner Fitzsimons relayed a number of typographical and spelling errors in the document, as well as raising some questions about potentially substantive matters. Terminology • The words "overpayment" and "overpay" (pages 3-11 and 3-12) have a negative connotation when in reality, some people are simply paying more than the federal government considers affordable. If these word words are "Terms of Art," they should remain; otherwise, he suggests changing to more neutral terminology. • Page 6-36, Policy 60.01: the last item in the list of discrimination criteria is "other arbitrary factors." Is "arbitrary" a Term of Art? If not, it seems that it would cover absolutely everything such as smoking or sex offender status. Constraints Analysis • Page 6-18, Action 56.07-A: A Rent Review Board that mediates rent increases is a development constraint because it reduces the willingness of developers to build in San Leandro due to the potential of limiting rents to below market. This should be in the Constraints Analysis. • Page 6-19, Action 56.08-C: Mobile home rent stabilization is a development constraint because it reduces the willingness of new mobile home construction. This also should be in the Constraints Analysis. Other • Page 6-19, Action 56.09-A, third bullet: Setting a minimum cost per unit for upgrades seems wlworkable and arbitrary because it does not take into account the existing condition. What is the reasoning behind this requirement? • Page 6-19, Action 56.09-A, fourth bullet: Requiring a marketing plan for converted units seems a bit ill-defined and unenforceable. • Please add a map of the zoning districts (NA-1, NA-2, etc.). Commissioner Collier referenced the third bulleted item on page 5-31, which says that about 300 students who do not live in San Leandro attend San Leandro schools. She pointed out that approximately the same numbers of students live in San Leandro but attend out-of--area schools, so "it's pretty much a wash every year." Motion to Forward to City Council with a Recommendation to Approve the Initiat Study and Negative Declaration and Housing Element Update Draft Ponder/Abero 7Aye, 0 No -Approved Secretary Livermore indicated .that corrections and clarifications based on Commissioner comments will be incorporated into the documents and/or pointed out to the City Council along with the recommendation.
