GENERALLY TALKING I WOULDN ' T SAY I ' M A BIG FAN OF METAMONT BECAUSE I DON ' T LIKE THE TRUTH THEY SHOVED THE LINE RIGHT INTO THE CREEK, BUT I WILL CERTAINLY SAY THAT METAMONTH IS A COHESIVE GROWTH, IT ' S ATTRACTIVE, IT DOES HAVE APARTMENTS AND RESIDENCES AND WORKPLACES AND RETAIL AND RESTAURANTS AND BUSINESSES. THESE ARE THINGS YOU DECIDE ON TODAY THAT INFLUENCE TOMORROW AND IF WE'' RE NOT PAYING FOCUS TO, YOU RECOGNIZE, OUR FUTURE, WE WILL PUT POINTS UP THAT ARE IRREPLACEABLE THAT BLOCK ROADS, YOU KNOW AND THAT ' S MY HEART STRINGS SO THAT ' S WHY I ' M RIGHT HERE TODAY SPEAKING TO YOU ALL SO THAT I COULD PLANT THE SEED TO LET YOU RECOGNIZE THAT SAY AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN DURHAM CONTAINER HAPPEN.
DURHAM AND ORANGE COUNTY UH NOW HAVE BEEN HAND-IN-HAND WITH WAKE REGION AND WE E HAVE BE EXHAUSTED FOR THIS AND I THINK THAT IT ' S CRUCIAL THAT WE BE ABLE TO HAVE PREPARES THAT PROGRAM THE PRIVATE SECTOR IS INVESTING INTO OUR LIGHT RAIL ASPECTS AS WELL AS WHAT YOU ' RE DOING PUBLICLY.SO I BELIEVE THAT ' S CRUCIAL FOR United States TO CONSIDER WHEN WE HAVE A PLAN THAT MEETS EVERY DEMAND OF THE CITY OF DURHAM. I ALSO DESIRED TO SAY THAT THE NEIGHBORS, WE ' VE MET WITH THE NEARBY NEIGHBORS, THAT NEIGHBORS THAT HAVE BEEN INFLUENCED THE MANY AS WELL AS THOSE NEIGHBORS WHO ARE DRIVING UP AND DOWN 54 AND FARRINGTON ROADWAY WHERE WE ' RE GOING TO ENHANCE THAT ROADWAY CAPABILITY AND I WANT TO SAY THAT THE NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBORS ALL QUITE NORMALLY HAVE BEEN IN SUPPORT OF THIS AFTER WE MET WITH REGARDING 50 OR 60 INDIVIDUALS IN THE STARTS AND THERE MIGHT BE EVEN BE SOMEONE BELOW THIS EVENING THAT HAVE MET WAS AND CHATTED WITH US AGAIN TONIGHT AND THEY FEELING THAT WE HAVE REALLY FUNCTIONED TOUGH TO BE ABLE TO MEET THEIR NEEDS.WE ALTERED THE BUILDING PLANS AROUND, WE ' VE TRANSFORMED A NUMBER OF MATTERS TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT COMPATIBLE TO THEM SINCE THEY ARE LIVING THIS and there H IS IMPACTING THEM DIRECTLY. WE ' RE COMPLETING$1.7 MILLION OF ROAD IMPROVEMENTS TO SURROUNDING INFRASTRUCTURE AND I RECOGNIZE WE ' VE CLAIMED THIS PRIOR TO BUT
I ' LL REMIND YOU THAT 3 OF THE ROADWAYS WE ' RE IMPROVING– 2 OF THE ROADING WE ' RE IMPROVING ARE KUSHLTLY 1-LANE DIRT ROADWAYS IN THE CITY OF DURHAM. GENERALLY TALKING I WOULDN ' T SAY I ' M A BIG FOLLOWER OF METAMONT DUE TO THE FACT THAT I DON ' T LIKE THE REALITY THEY PUSHED THE LINE RIGHT INTO THE CREEK, BUT I WILL SAY THAT METAMONTH IS A COHESIVE GROWTH, IT ' S ATTRACTIVE, IT DOES HAVE APARTMENTS AND HOMES AND WORKPLACES AND RETAIL AND RESTAURANTS AND BUSINESSES. THESE ARE THINGS YOU DETERMINE ON TODAY THAT INFLUENCE TOMORROW AND IF WE'' RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO, YOU RECOGNIZE, OUR FUTURE, WE WILL PUT POINTS UP THAT ARE IRREPLACEABLE THAT BLOCK ROADWAYS, YOU KNOW AND THAT ' S MY HEART STRINGS SO THAT ' S WHY I ' M RIGHT HERE THESE DAYS SPEAKING TO YOU ALL SO THAT I COULD PLANT THE SEED TO LET YOU RECOGNIZE THAT SAY AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE IN DURHAM CONTAINER HAPPEN.WE FELT THAT WAS A GREAT BELIEF EFFORT AND IF I COULD SHOT TO DO SOME ROUGH MATH, YOU KNOW, IF THE EXPERT HAS ACTUALLY RECOMMENDED 300 UNITS OVER ALL OF DURHAM ' S STYLE DISTRICTS IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, WE HAVE ROUGHERLY AT THIS TIME WE HAVE 5 POSSIBLE DESIGN AREAS, THAT WOULD BE 60 DEVICES PER DESIGN AREA AND FOR United States TO GIVE YOU WITH 20 OF THOSE WOULD BE 30%IN THE LEIGH VILLAGE STYLE DISTRICT AND SO I THINK THAT NUMBER HAS EVEN MORE MEANING, PROVIDED IT ' S NOT– I RECOGNIZE IT ' S NOT 15% OF THE WHOLE JOB. ULTIMATELY THAT ' S COUNCIL ' S CHOICE AND NOT NECESSARILY STAFF ' S. WE ALLOW A WIDE ARRAY OF USES RECOGNIZING THAT WHEN PARTICULAR THICKNESS OF TASK REACH A CRITICAL FACTOR THEN SERVICES WILL CERTAINLY BE OFFERED BECAUSE THE MARKET WILL WANT TO COME IN AND SUPPLY THOSE SERVICES WHETHER IT BE PHARMACIES, GROCERY STORE SHOP, WHETHER IT BE WHATEVER, IT ' S ESSENTIAL TO REMEMBER WHEN YOU ' RE UPCOMING OUT OF THE GATE– AND I THINK DOWNTOWN ' S A GOOD INSTANCE OF THAT– WE DON ' T HAVE– WE DO HAVE A DRUGSTORE– WE DON ' T HAVE A GROCERY STORE SHOP IN DOWNTOWN.THAT ' S SOMETHING WE HEAR REPEATEDLY THAT PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE.
WE FELT THAT WAS A GOOD CONFIDENCE INITIATIVES AND IF I COULD TRY TO DO SOME ROUGH MATH, YOU RECOGNIZE, IF THE SPECIALIST HAS ACTUALLY RECOMMENDED 300 SYSTEMS OVER ALL OF DURHAM ' S DESIGN DISTRICTS IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, WE HAVE ROUGHERLY AT THIS TIME WE HAVE FIVE POSSIBLE STYLE AREAS, THAT WOULD BE 60 UNITS PER STYLE DISTRICT AND FOR United States TO GIVE YOU WITH 20 OF THOSE WOULD BE 30%IN THE LEIGH TOWN STYLE AREA AND SO I BELIEVE THAT NUMBER HAS EVEN MORE DEFINITION, PROVIDED IT ' S NOT– I KNOW IT ' S NOT 15% OF THE ENTIRE TASK. WHAT ' S YOUR OPINION OF THE LIMITS THAT NC 54 ENFORCES ON DEVELOPMENT THERE AND WHATEVER THOSE LIMITS ARE, SHOULD REZONINGS IN LEIGH VILLAGE LOCATION BE PUT ON HOLD UNTIL COMPACT NEIGHBORHOOD TIER ' S TOTALLY CREATED? ULTIMATELY THAT ' S COUNCIL ' S CHOICE AND NOT NECESSARILY PERSONNEL ' S. WE ALLOW A WIDE ARRAY OF USES RECOGNIZING THAT WHEN CERTAIN DENSITIES OF TASK REACH A CRITICAL POINT AFTER THAT SERVICES WILL CERTAINLY BE PROVIDED BECAUSE THE MARKET WILL NEED TO COME IN AND OFFER THOSE FACILITIES WHETHER IT BE PHARMACIES, GROCERY STORE SHOP, WHETHER IT BE WHATEVER, IT ' S ESSENTIAL TO REMEMBER WHEN YOU ' RE UPCOMING OUT OF THE ENTRANCE– AND I THINK DOWNTOWN ' S A GREAT INSTANCE OF THAT– WE DON ' T HAVE– WE DO HAVE A DRUGSTORE– WE DON ' T HAVE A GROCERY STORE STORE IN DOWNTOWN.THAT ' S SOMETHING WE HEAR REPETITIVELY THAT INDIVIDUALS WOULD LIKE TO HAVE. I BELIEVE THE ONE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT IF WE ACT OR DON ' T ACT ON INTERVENING REQUESTS THAT ARE COMPLIANT WITH OR AS COMPLIANT AS THEY CAN BE WITH OUR EXISTING COMPACT DESIGN STANDARDS, UM, THAT WE ' RE CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH GROWTH MAY GO IN INAPPROPRIATE DIRECTION.AS YOU ARE AWARE, RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE THE RIGHT TO THEY ALREADY HAVE ZONING SO THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO ESTABLISH UNDER PRESENT ZONING IF THEY SO CHOOSE.I'' M NOT SIT SIZING I ' M SIMPLY SAYING REALITY. IF WE REALLY ARE MAJOR CONCERNING THIS WHOLE AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE ITEM, ESPECIALLY AROUND TRANSPORTATION, I ASSUME THAT NEED TO HAVE BEEN A PRIORITITY AT AN EARLY STAGE TO OBTAIN SOMETHING DONE. I PUT ON'' T THINK WE NEED TO PUNISH PROGRAMMERS THAT HAVE DONE EVERYTHING WE ' VE ASKED THEM TO PERFORM WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY, OH, WAIT, WAIT, BUT WE STILL WANT 15%. WE STILL NEED 15%. AND WE'' RE NOT GRANTING THEM ANYTHING TO GET THAT 15%. THE ONLY WAY WE'' RE GOING TO OBTAIN IT IS PUT BUCK IN IT.FACT S IT
' S A VOID BETWEEN WHAT DEVELOPERS EXPECT TO GET WITH THEIR LEASE WHEN YOU BEGIN TELLING THEM LEASE IT FOR LESS. SOMEONE'' S GOING HAVE TO FILL UP THAT VOID UNLESS IT'' S COUNCIL AGREES TO FIND UP AND FILL UP THAT'GAP WE ' RE DOING INJUSTICE NOT ONLY TO INDIVIDUAL OUT THERE THERE THAT NEED THESE 15 %GOALS AND EVERY PERSON DESIGNERS. I THINK WHAT WE REQUIREMENT TO PERFORM– AND I'' VE CLAIMED THIS– WE REALLY REQUIREMENT TO BE TALKING TO DEVELOPMENT AREA. WE REALLY DEMAND TO SIT DOWN WITH THEM TO TELL THEM, LET THEM TELL United States WHAT IT WOULD REQUIRE TO DEVELOP THESE TRANSPORTATION STOPS WITH THE GOAL AS 15% WHICH'' S THE ONLY WAY WE ' RE GOING TO OBTAIN ANYWHERE UNLESS WE ARE PREPARED TO SAY WE'' LL FILL THAT SPACE IN TERMS OF WHAT'' S NEEDED. I SIMPLY BELIEVES WE ' RE DOING OURSELVES A DISSERVICE, DOING THOSE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ARE WISHING FOR OBJECTIVE OF 15% An INJUSTICE, I BELIEVE WE'' RE DOING DEVELOPMENT AREA An INJUSTICE TO LOCATION THESE TYPE OF NEEDS ON THEM WHEN WE'' RE NOT MOVING WITH FEELING OF SERIOUSNESS THAT IT SHOWS UP THAT INDIVIDUALS SAY THEY WANT.I DON'' T KNOW THE PARTICULARS OF WHAT IT TAKES BUT I KNOW IF IT'' S A PRIORITITY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AT THE WE and really top'' D HAVE HAD A PROGRAM FOR A DEVICE FOR DOING COST EFFECTIVE REAL ESTATE. SO I HAVE SOMETHING ELSE TO SAY BUT THAT ' S WHERE I AM APPROPRIATE CURRENTLY. I THINK AS LONG AS THE INEXPENSIVE REAL ESTATE RECORD THAT WAS DONE, WE'KNOW WE ' RE GOING TO HAVE A SPECIAL SESSION TO TAKE A SEAT AND GO THROUGH THAT.THIS WAS An EXTREMELY SMALL SECTIONS OF A SITE THAT WE ' RE TALKING ABOUT. IT ' S NOT ONE DEVELOPER HAS CONTROL OF THE COMPLETE SITE. IF IT WAS, WE COULD BE SPEAKING ABOUT A VARIOUS ZONE BUT WE DON ' T HAVE THAT. IT ' S A VERY SMALL PORTION. YOU HAVE A DEVELOPER THAT HAS DEVOTED TO GIVING 20 HOMES AND APPROVED WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT PORTION S IT ' S NOT 15 A% BUT IT'' S 0%. SOME SAY DELAY UNTIL WE GET PORTABLE RATE DEVELOP WHICH IS THREE TO 5 YEARS, DELAY UNTIL WE GET THESE TOOLS CREATE WHICH I PUT ON'' T KNOW WHEN IT'' S GOING TO HAPPEN, IT ' S JUST UNREASONABLE. SO I'' M GOING TO GENERATE and quit TO THE REST OF MY COLLEAGUES, BUT I >> ' LL PROBABLY HAVE SOMETHING ELSE TO SAY. IDENTIFY COUNCIL PARTICIPANT DAVIS. > > MAYOR, THAT WAS THE REASON I ASKED MR. MEDLIN ABOUT THE TIME DURATION WE WOULD NEED TO DELAY PRIOR TO THE STYLE DISTRICTS WERE FINISHED. THERE ARE ROAD RENOVATIONS, PROBLEMS OF REAL ESTATE DESPITE THE FACT THAT AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE ALTHOUGH IT ' S NOT AT THE LEVEL THAT WE OUR GOAL S AS YOU SIMPLY CLAIMED. UM, THERE ARE ISSUES THAT I THINK ARE VERY ESSENTIAL INCLUDING THE TAX OBLIGATION BASE THAT WILL CERTAINLY COME, THE BEING CLOSE TO THE LITE RAIL TERMINAL DESPITE THE FACT THAT THAT ' S DOWN THE ROAD.I SIMPLY THINK THAT THIS PARTICULAR COLLECTION OF DEVELOPERS AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES HAVE DONE A FANTASTIC TASK OF TRYING TO GET TO WHERE WE REMAIN IN TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE PRESENTED TO THEM HAVE BEEN HANDLED. I DO HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THE ENTIRE AREA NOT ONLY RIGHT HERE BUT ALSO IN THE AUSTIN METHOD AREA AND ALL VARIOUS OTHER DESIGN DISTRICTS ACROSS THE CITY, BUT I THINK THAT WE CANISTER NOT WAIT TO APPROVE EVERY SINGLE DISTRICT, EACH AND EVERY SINGLE PROPOSAL THAT COMES FROM DESIGNER L UNTIL WE HAVE GOTTEN ALL THOSE DESIGN AREAS MANAGED. SO DESPITE THE FACT THAT I HAVE DEALT WITH A LOFT PROBLEMS, A GREAT DEAL OF PEOPLE HAVE CALLED AND E-MAILED THE WORRIES ARE EXTREMELY GENUINE, LEGITIMATE, BUT I THINK THAT I WILL CERTAINLY BE VOTING FOR THIS PROPOSITION. >> > > COUNCIL PARTICIPANT SCHEWEL. >> > > I HAVE A CONCERN FOR PLANNING STAFF.

THEY HAVE A VARIOUS CHARACTER, DIFFERENT ISSUES, AND AS WE BEGIN TO WORK THROUGH THEM, OUR REGULATIONS WILL NEED TO REFLECT THOSE CONCERNS THAT WE ' LL BE FUNCTIONING THROUGH.YOU KNOW, OUR PREFERENCE OF COURSE IS THAT WE DO IT HOLISTICALLY, CERTAINLY, BUT WE FELT SUCH AS THIS INITIATIVE WE HAVE ALREADY UNDERWAY ON THE STYLE AREA UPDATE AFFORDED US TO OFFER WITH LOW-HANGING FRUIT WITH THE BUDGET-FRIENDLY HOUSING BONUS OFFERS CONCERN. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE AS A TEAM WILL BE TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT IS THAT THRESHOLD, THAT ROOFING SYSTEM, THAT WE REQUIREMENT TO MEET IN TERMS OF WHAT IS THE OPTIMAL THICKNESS AUH LOUED WITHOUT DOING INEXPENSIVE HOUSING. WE WOULD– I WILL CERTAINLY PRESUME TO SAY WE ARE DIFFERING, WE DON ' T BELIEVE IN THE OVERLAY AREA TECHNIQUE BECAUSE WE USAGE FORM-BASED ZONING'AND WE FEELING THAT ' S A MUCH BETTER FORM TO CATCH THAT THEREFORE WE WOULD PROBABLY DO THIS AS PRIVILEGE THAT IF YOU DESIRED THE THICKNESS YOU CAN HAVE IT ABOVE THAT THRESHOLD IF YOU GIVE THE BUDGET FRIENDLY REAL ESTATE SO YOU DON ' T HAVE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL PRIVILEGE. > > THANKS SIGNIFICANTLY. > > I WOULD– [LOW AUDIO] > > MR.

T THINK– THERE ' S A BASIC ECONOMIC CONCERN RIGHT HERE WHICH IS SOMEONE NEEDS TO SPEND FOR IT, OK, AND IF WE THINK THAT JUST IT ' S GOING TO BE PAID FOR BY DENSITY, AFTER THAT WHAT WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE IS, IS THAT THE LEASE GOES UP IN ALL THE VARIOUS OTHER UNITS MAKING THEM LESS AFFORDABLE. SO THERE ' S A BASIC ECONOMIC PROBLEM, WHAT THE MAYOR REFERRED TO AS THE FUNDING GAP WHICH ' S WHAT WE ' VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT.THE PROBLEM I HAVE'NOW IS THAT WE ' RE LOOKING AT A REZONING APPLICATION AND TALKING ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING STRATEGIES WITHOUT OUR
AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL PRESENT BECAUSE DISCUSSION. WE ' RE GOING HAVE THAT DISCUSSION SOON OR A DISCUSSION ABOUT COST EFFECTIVE HOUSING, BUT WHAT MY OWN FEELING IS, IS THAT WHERE WE ' RE GOING TO OBTAIN TO THE INEXPENSIVE REAL ESTATE THAT WE WANT IS WHEN WE ' RE HAPPY TO PUT PUBLIC DOLLARS INTO PRIVATE INVESTMENTS AND LET THEM KNOW THE FINANCING SPACE SIMPLY ISN ' T GOING TO PERMIT FOR ECONOMICAL HOUSING AND I WILL INTEND TO LISTEN TO THE ECONOMICS EVEN MORE CLOSELY BUT I DON ' T BELIEVE THAT WHAT WE ' RE MANAGING ARE DEVELOPERS THAT'ARE MAKING UNLIMITED AMOUNTS OF MONEY AND CANISTER SIMPLY FALLEN LEAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN OUR STOCKING, AND SO THAT ' S MY BATTLE NOW IS WE ' RE LOOKING AT SOME AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS BELOW AND WE HAVE TO CHOOSE WHETHER OR NOT WE NEED TO START THE PROCESS OR WHETHER WE WISH TO– EXACTLY WHAT WE'WISH TO DO BUT I ' M BATTLE WITH THIS IN INSTANCE YOU COULDN ' T NUMBER THAT OUT.THANK YOU. > > COUNCIL PARTICIPANT SCHEWEL. > > PAIR DETAILS. IN LOTS WAYS I ASSUME WHAT WE HAVE IN FRONT PEOPLE IS An ADVANCEMENT THAT IN LOTS WAYS IS SOMETHING WE WANT. I CONCUR THAT, I MEAN, TO START WITH, ONE >> OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS CONCERNING AFFORD CAPABILITY IS THAT IT CONNECTS TO SUPPLY AND NEED. A ADDING 600 DEVICES, ONE OF THE THINGS IN DURHAM WE HAVE IS NOT NEARLY ENOUGH SUPPLY THAT ' S ONE OF THE FACTORS HOUSING IS HIGHER. I BELIEVE IT ' S TRANSIT-ORIENTED IN LOTS WAYS. IT ' S IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND IT IS HAS A GREAT DEAL OF IT ' S CREATED IN A METHOD THAT COULD BE FURTHER DENSE FIED AND IT DOES EFFORT TO DESIGN TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE EXISTING DESIGN DISTRICT'THAT WE HAVE ARE. DOES ADD A GREAT DEAL OF ROAD IMPROVEMENTS AND I WILL STATE THAT THE DEVELOPER AND THE PROGRAMMER ' S GROUP HAVE BEEN, I WOULD SAY EXTRAORDINARILY COMMUNICATIVE AND RESPONSIVE. UM, AND IT DOES ADD 20 AFFORDABLE UNITS IN THE 2ND PHASE AND ALL THOSE ARE TRULY GOOD IDEAS AND NOT TO BE DISCOUNTED IN ANY WAY AND I DESIRE TO RECOMMEND DON ' S COMMENTS REGARDING THE REALITY THAT I RECOGNIZE WE HEAR ALL THE TIME– I GET TEN EMAILS STATING DEVELOPERS OUGHT TO BE PROVIDING 15%COST EFFECTIVE HOUSING.THAT ' S NOT THE WAY THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITHOUT SOME PUBLIC SUBSIDY. ONE OF THE ALTERNATIVES FOR THIS TYPE OF PUBLIC SUBSIDY, ONE METHOD TO ACCESS IT IS A THICKNESS PERKS AND WE ' RE NOW DOING A COUPLE THINGS IN THE CITY THAT I ASSUME ARE NECESSARY. ONE IS WE ARE PROVIDING, WE ARE FUNCTIONING TO PROVIDE A THICKNESS BENEFITS THAT WORKS. WE HAD A SUGGESTION FROM OUR HOUSING CONSULTANT AND THAT FUNCTION IS UNDERWAY AS SARA YOUNG DISCUSSED. AT THE SAME TIME, WE ARE DOING THE COMPACT STYLE AREA BOUNDARIES AND AFTER THAT FILLING OUT THOSE BOUNDARIES WITH THE OTHER KINDS OF MATTERS THAT STEVE MEDLIN SPOKE ABOUT. THE PROGRAMMER APPROPRIATELY AIMS OUT THAT WE DON ' T HAVE A CITY PROGRAM FOR THEM TO REGISTER WITH. THAT IS TO SAY, SO THEY CONTAINER OBTAIN THE TYPE OF ACCREDITATION THEY NEED OR ANYTHING THAT WILL CERTAINLY SUSTAIN THEM IN THEIR EFFORT TO DEVELOP EVEN MORE ECONOMICAL DEVICES THEREFORE ALL DEVICES THEY PROFFERED ARE DEVICES THAT THEY ' RE TAKING OUT OF THEIR POCKET, BUT WHAT I SEE NOW IS THAT WE ARE RELOCATING IN THE DIRECTION OF THIS DENSITY PERKS AND WE ' RE MOVING– I ENTIRELY A AGREE WITH THE MAYOR IN THE FEELING THAT A GREAT DEAL OF THIS GETS ON US IN REQUISITES OF THE SERIOUSNESS, BUT I WILL LIKEWISE STATE THAT THE MARKETPLACES CHANGE SWIFTLY AROUND US AND I WEAR ' T THINK THAT ANY OF US– I DIDN ' T VISUALIZE I KNOW MUCH OF THE REST PEOPLE DIDN ' T ALSO THE RATE AT WHICH THE MARKETPLACE IS CHANGING.IT ' S EASY TO SAY'AND SPOKE WITH STEVE MEDLIN ABOUT THIS'TODAY AND STEVE STATED I WISH WE HAD STARTED THIS INTENDING EARLIER IN 2007, 2008 WHILE WE WERE CUTTING STAFF OUT OF OUR PLANNING STAFF THEN. SO IT IS REAL THAT MORE INSIGHT WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD BUT WE ARE WHERE WE WE and are ARE CURRENTLY, I ASSUME, WITH SOME DEGREE OF URGENCY SEEKING DENSITY BONUS OFFERS AND THE KRAGSZ OF THE THOROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS DESIGN DISTRICTS– DEVELOPMENT OF THE DETAILED COMMUNITY DESIGN AREAS. I ASSUME LIKE I DEFINED A MONTH BACK WHEN WE WERE BELOW WITH EACH OTHER, I ASSUME THAT THE DANGER IN DENYING THIS FOR ME IS THAT THE DESIGNER HAS AN UNDERLYING BY RIGHT CAPACITY TO CREATE THIS LAND FOR SINGLE FAMILY MEMBERS HOMES A WHICH THOSE SOLITARY HOUSEHOLD HOMES WOULD BE 2 HOMES AN ACRER AND I ASSUME WHAT STEVE MEDLIN STATES IS REALLY STREW STROOU WHICH IS AS SOON AS YOU HAVE SOLITARY FAMILY MEMBERS HOMES IT ' S HARD TO DEVELOP THICKNESS NEXT DOOR.WE ' RE SEEING THAT RIGHT NOW IN A FEW OF THE REZONINGS THAT ARE CONCERNING United States, AND SO THE CONCERN IS IF YOU WERE A DESIGNER WHO HAD THAT LAND AND/OR RATHER THE UNDERLYING LAND OWNER NOT THE DEVELOPER AND THIS DIDN ' T PAN OUT, WOULD YOU, WE ' D BE MAKING A WAGER IF WE DENY THIS THAT THEY ' RE GOING TO BE DEVELOPING SINGLE FAMILY HOME WHICH IS IS NOT WHAT WE WANT IN THIS FIELD. FOR ME, I TIN REALLY WELL UNDERSTAND THOSE THAT VOTE ON EITHER SIDE OF THIS CONCERN AND IT ' S An EXTREMELY, REALLY HARD ONE. WHERE I DO THINK THAT'GIVEN THE FACT THAT WE HAVE THE LIMIT ARES UNDERWAY, THAT WE HAVE THE DENSITY BONUS UNDERWAY, AND THAT WE CAN IN A YEAR OR PROBABLY A BIT EVEN MORE SUPPLY THE THIS PROGRAMMER OR ANYONE ELSE IN THE ANY OF THESE STYLE AREAS THE CAPACITY AHEAD BACK FOR A ONE-OFF REZONING WHICH WITH THE THICKNESS BONUS OFFERED TO THEM, I BELIEVE THAT IS A GOOD IDEA TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THESE DEVELOPERS.IT ' S NOT TOO MUCH DOWN THE ROADWAY THEREFORE WHAT I WOULD SAY IS LET ' S DO THAT WITH ALL THE SERIOUSNESS WE CONTAINER, LET ' S DO THE COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITIES WITH ALL THE URGENCY WE CANISTER, AND THEN SAY TO THESE DESIGNER AND ANY OTHERS COME BACK WHEN WE HAVE THE THICKNESS BONUS OFFERS AND WE WILL LOOK POSITIVELY BACK THEN WHAT YOU ' RE UP TO BECAUSE THERE ARE LOTS, MANY GOOD THINGS BELOW BUT I BELIEVE WE HAVE THE, WE ' RE DOING THE WORK WITH THE DENSITY BONUS, WE ' RE DOING THE DEAL WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD BORDERS AND I BELIEVE WE NEED TO WAIT UNTIL WE HAVE THAT IN LOCATION PRIOR TO WE APPROVE THIS REZONINGS SIMILAR TO THIS. THANK YOU.'[ PRAISE] > > RECOGNIZE'COUNCIL PARTICIPANT REECE, PLEASE. > > MANY THANKS, MR. MAYOR. UM, YOU UNDERSTAND ON ORDER WHEN THE JUDGE BIES FAR THE court and a verdict DOES A GREAT DEAL ON THE ONE HAND AND THE OTHER HAND AND THEY MAKE YOU WAIT ON THE VIKT.I WAS A DISTRICT ATTORNEY FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND THOSE WERE THE LENGTHIEST MOMENTS> OF MY LIFE. I ' M GOING TO SPEAK ABOUT A FEW OF THE CONCERNS. I MEAN TO BALLOT AGAINST THE REZONING TONIGHT DESPITE [APPLAUSE]– PLEASE DELAY.
THESE FOLKS HAVE FUNCTIONED DIFFICULT TO PLACE IN BEFORE United States AND THEY DESERVE THEIR TIME BEFORE THIS COUNCIL.'ALONG WITH THE THINGS CURRENTLY BEEN CLAIMED THAT ARE POSITIVE CONCERNING THIS SPECIFIC GROWTH, I WISHED TO PIGGY BACK ON A NUMBER OF DETAILS STEVE STATED. OF ALL, THIS ISN ' T JUST ANY 600 UNITS IN ABMARKET WHERE WE REQUIREMENT SERVICE UNITS IT ' S 600 IN SOUTH DURHAM IN WHICH WE HAVEN ' T SEEN MULTIFAMILY HOUSING IN A GENERATION-ISH. IT ' S ALSO NOT THE TYPE OF LUKS ARE RI MIDTOWN ADVANCEMENT THAT MANY OF United States DECRIED IN THE CURRENT ELECTION. THIS IS MARKET-PRICED MULTIFAMILY HOUSING IN A COMPONENT OF DURHAM THAT REQUIRES IT QUITE BADLY, I THINK. THE VARIOUS OTHER POINT IS, I DON ' T WISH TO SELL SHORT THE PROPOSED HIGHWAY RENOVATIONS WHEN I DEFINE THIS SPECIFIC PROJECT TO MY SPOUSE, THAT WAS NEAR THE FIRST OF DETAILS THAT WOULD BE GOOD AND SHE STOPPED ME RIGHT THERE AND CLAIMED OWE MANNER IN WHICH ' S SUFFICIENT, I ' M FOR IT.THE OTHER POINT IS THE PROGRAMMERS HAVE ACTUALLY AS STEVE CLAIMED GONE INTO THEIR OWN POCKET TO PUT ON THE TABLE A NUMBER OF AFFORDABLE UNITS THAT NO PRIVATE DESIGNER IN A MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPER HAS EVER PUT AHEAD WHICH IS TO SAY GREATER THAN ZERO AND I KNEE YOU HAD TO FIGHT YOUR OFFICE TO MAKE THAT OCCUR.
AND I UNDERSTAND THERE WERE THINGS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE INTENDED TO DO THAT YOU DIFRNT PREVAIL UPON WITH YOUR NATIONAL COMPANIONS. IN BEHALF OF THIS COUNCIL AND CITY WE APPRECIATE YOUR ADVOCACY ON THOSE PROBLEMS, HOWEVER, FOR ME WE HAVE TO DECIDE WHAT THIS PROCEDURE IS FOR. IS THIS A PROCESS THIS REZONING PROCESS, IS THIS A PROCEDURE THAT IS DESIGNED TO FURTHER THE GOALS WE HAVE A AS A CITY OR IS IT A PROCEDURE THAT ' S MADE TO FURTHER THE GOALS OF PRIVATE RATE OF INTERESTS, HOME OWNERS, HOMEOWNER, DEVELOPERS WHO AS I SAID HAVE GONE DEEP INTO THEIR OWN POCKETS TO FUND THIS PROPOSITION, HAVE PUT A GREAT DEAL OF FAVORABLE THINGS ON THE TABLE; UH BUT IS THAT WHAT IT ' S FOR? I LISTENED TO SOMEBODY SAY THEY DIDN ' T WISH TO PENALIZE THESE DEVELOPERS AT THIS MOMENT IN THE PROCESS.I THINK AGAIN I ' VE ONLY BEEN BELOW 104 DAYS BUT TO MY UNDERSTANDING, THAT TRANSFORM THIS IS PROCESS ON ITS HEAD. NO APPLICANT, NO DEVELOPER, NO PROPERTY OWNER IS ENTITLED TO A REZONING AND I THINK WE TEND TO FORGET THAT WHEN WE'DISCUSS ALL THE GOOD IDEAS THAT THESE DEVELOPMENTS AND THESE PROPOSITIONS WERE PUT ON THE TABLE FOR
THIS CITY SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE ASSUMPTIONS THAT PROGRAMMERS HAVE THAT THEY CHECK ON PACKAGES, ULTIMATELY WHAT I E HOPE THAT DEVELOPERS EXPECT AND I ASSUME WHAT INDIVIDUALS OF THIS CITY EXPECT THAT WE ' LL CONDUCT OURSELVES IN THESE ARE REZONING PROCEDURES WITH AN EYE TOWARD PROPER PREPARING PLANS WITH AN EYE TOWARDS ALL OF THE BENEFITS AND EXPENSES TO PARTICULAR REZONINGS BECAUSE THERE ARE COSTS TO THIS, BUT WHAT EVENTUALLY WE WILL BE GUIDED BY AN IDEA OF WHAT TYPE OF CITY ARE WE'TRYING TO DEVELOP? WHAT KIND OF DEVELOPMENT DO WE INTEND TO HAVE, AND TO MY MIND AS FANTASTIC AS THIS TASK IS I COULDN ' T HAVE SUSTAINED IT– COULD HAVE SUPPORTED IT WERE IT NOT WITHIN THE TRANSPORTATION ZONE.I THINK IT BRINGS A LOT GOOD TO THIS CITY BUT ULTIMATELY IF WE NEED THE IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE ' VE CLAIMED WE NEED IN THE TRANSPORTATION AREAS, IF WE NEED THE SORT OF GROWTH THAT WE SAY WE NEED IN THOSE AREAS, WE NEED TO WILLING– AS HARD A AS IT IS– TO LOOK DEVELOPERS IN THE EYE THAT HAVE WORKED FOR YEARS TO PUT SOMETHING ATTRACTIVE ON THE TABLE TO SAY CURRENTLY AND IN THIS LOCATION, THAT DOESN ' T FUNCTION FOR United States, AND I PUT ON ' T THINK IT OUGHT TO REDUCE THE CREDIT REPORT THAT THIS GROUP SHOULD HAVE FOR PUTTING An INTEND ON THE TABLE THAT WOULD DO A GREAT DEAL OF ADVANTAGES FOR THIS CITY, BUT ULTIMATELY TO MY MIND WE NEED TO REMEMBER WHAT THE PROCESS IS FOR AND DUE TO THAT I INTEND TO VOTE AGAINST THE PROPOSAL.THANK YOU. > > THANK'YOU. COUNCIL PARTICIPANT MOFFITT'. > > I HAVE SOME PROJECTS UNTIL CLIMBED MARY KITCHEN OBTAINED UP AND SPOKE. AMONG THE POINTS THAT VI TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH WHEN I GO HOME IS TO BE ABLE TO VISIT BED AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO REST IN THAT DEAL WITH CHOOSING THAT I KNOW FOR MY OWN PEOPLE ARE UNFAIR. >> I E KNOW THAT LIKE CLIMBED MARY SAID– AND I BELIEVE SHE ' S A REALLY PRINCIPLES INDIVIDUAL I ' VE KNOWN HER FOR YEARS AND YEARS. I WAS IN INSTITUTION WITH KEN, SHE WAS THREE YEARS AHEAD OF 34E– ONLY ONE YEAR, KEN. I RECOGNIZE THIS LADY HAS DONE EVERY LITTLE THING THAT SHE COULD TO TRY TO PLEASE United States, AND I STRATEGY TO VOTE FOR THE ARE REZONING BECAUSE IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO PERFORM AS REPORTED BY CORA COLE-McFADDEN SO THAT I TIN REST DURING THE NIGHT NOT FUMBLING WITH IS IT SINCE I AM EXPECTING WONDERS FROM THEM TONIGHT OR HAVE THEY UNDERWENT EVERYTHING THAT WE ' VE ASKED THEM TO PERFORM AS REPORTED BY THE EXTENSIVE STRATEGY, UDO, WHATEVER, TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN? STEVE STATED THAT THEY HAVE DONE EVERY LITTLE THING THEY ' RE SUPPOSED TO DO; WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO BUT TO REFUTE THEM BASED ON SOMETHING BESIDES THE REQUIREMENTS?
AS THE SPEAKER NOTED PRIOR TO, THE CAPABILITY OF THE CITY TO REQUIRE IT WITHOUT SOME TYPE OF PAYMENT OR– WE DON ' T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO THAT AND I DON ' T THINK THAT ' S BEEN STATED. I ASSUME LIKE I DEFINED A MONTH EARLIER WHEN WE WERE HERE WITH EACH OTHER, I THINK THAT THE RISK IN DENYING THIS FOR ME IS THAT THE DESIGNER HAS AN UNDERLYING BY RIGHT CAPABILITY TO ESTABLISH THIS LAND FOR SINGLE HOUSEHOLD HOMES A AND THAT THOSE SOLITARY FAMILY MEMBERS HOMES WOULD BE TWO HOMES AN ACRER AND I ASSUME WHAT STEVE MEDLIN STATES IS VERY STREW STROOU WHICH IS ONCE YOU HAVE SOLITARY FAMILY HOMES IT ' S DIFFICULT TO ESTABLISH THICKNESS NEXT DOOR.WE ' RE SEEING THAT RIGHT NOW IN SOME OF THE REZONINGS THAT ARE COMING TO US, AND SO THE CONCERN IS IF YOU WERE A PROGRAMMER THAT HAD THAT LAND AND/OR RATHER THE UNDERLYING LAND OWNER NOT THE DEVELOPER AND THIS DIDN ' T FRYING PAN OUT, WOULD YOU, WE ' D BE MAKING A WAGER IF WE DENY THIS THAT THEY ' RE GOING TO BE DEVELOPING SINGLE HOUSEHOLD HOME WHICH IS IS NOT WHAT WE NEED IN THIS LOCATION. WHERE I DO THINK THAT'GIVEN THE TRUTH THAT WE HAVE THE LIMIT ARES UNDERWAY, THAT WE HAVE THE THICKNESS BONUS UNDERWAY, AND THAT WE CAN IN A YEAR OR POSSIBLY A BIT EVEN MORE SUPPLY THE THIS DEVELOPER OR ANY PERSON ELSE IN THE ANY OF THESE STYLE AREAS THE ABILITY TO COME BACK FOR A ONE-OFF REZONING WHICH WITH THE THICKNESS BONUS AVAILABLE TO THEM, I BELIEVE THAT IS An EXCELLENT POINT TO BE ABLE TO OFFER THESE DEVELOPERS.IT ' S NOT TOO FAR DOWN THE ROAD AND SO WHAT I WOULD SAY IS LET ' S DO THAT WITH ALL THE NECESSITY WE CONTAINER, LET ' S DO THE THOROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS WITH ALL THE URGENCY WE CANISTER, AND THEN SAY TO THESE PROGRAMMER AND ANY OTHERS COME BACK WHEN WE HAVE THE THICKNESS INCENTIVES AND WE WILL CERTAINLY LOOK POSITIVELY AT THAT TIME WHAT YOU ' RE UP TO BECAUSE THERE ARE LOTS OF, LOTS OF GOOD THINGS HERE BUT I ASSUME WE HAVE THE, WE ' RE DOING THE FUNCTION ON THE DENSITY INCENTIVES, WE ' RE DOING THE FUNCTION ON THE THOROUGH COMMUNITY LIMITS AND I THINK WE NEED TO WAIT UNTIL WE HAVE THAT IN AREA BEFORE WE APPROVE THIS REZONINGS LIKE THIS. OF ALL, THIS ISN ' T SIMPLY ANY 600 UNITS IN ABMARKET IN WHICH WE NEED LEASING UNITS IT ' S 600 IN SOUTH DURHAM WHERE WE SANCTUARY ' T SEEN MULTIFAMILY HOUSING IN A GENERATION-ISH. WHAT KIND OF DEVELOPMENT DO WE NEED TO HAVE, AND TO MY MIND AS GREAT AS THIS PROJECT IS I COULDN ' T HAVE SUSTAINED IT– COULD HAVE SUSTAINED IT WERE IT NOT WITHIN THE TRANSIT ZONE.I THINK IT BRINGS SO MUCH GOOD TO THIS CITY BUT ULTIMATELY IF WE NEED THE POINTS THAT WE ' VE SAID WE WANT IN THE TRANSIT ZONES, IF WE NEED THE KIND OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WE SAY WE NEED IN THOSE AREAS, WE HAVE TO WILLING– AS HARD A AS IT IS– TO APPEARANCE DEVELOPERS IN THE EYE WHO HAVE WORKED FOR YEARS TO PUT SOMETHING ATTRACTIVE ON THE TABLE TO SAY AT THIS TIME AND IN THIS LOCATION, THAT DOESN ' T WORK FOR US, AND I PUT ON ' T THINK IT OUGHT TO MINIMIZE THE CREDIT SCORE THAT THIS GROUP IS WORTHY OF FOR PLACING A PLAN ON THE TABLE THAT WOULD DO A GREAT DEAL OF EXCELLENT THINGS FOR THIS CITY, BUT ULTIMATELY TO MY MIND WE HAVE TO REMEMBER WHAT THE PROCESS IS FOR AND SINCE OF THAT I MEAN TO VOTE AGAINST THE PROPOSAL.THANK YOU.AND THAT'' S JUST WRONG, THAT ' S NOT JUSTICE.WE DISCUSS JUSTICE, JUSTICE, AND THERE'' S NO CHANCE THAT WE CANISTER GET 15% AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE ON ONE PROJECT, AND IT'' S UNREASONABLE and unjust TO ANTICIPATE THAT, AND THAT'' S JUST MY 2 CENTS. AND I DON ' T REQUIRED PRAISE, I'' LL APPLAUD MY OWN SELF SINCE I UNDERSTAND THAT I'' LL HAVE THE ABILITY TO SLEEP TONIGHT SINCE I'' M CURING INDIVIDUALS RATHER. CAN I OBTAIN A FEW [INDISTINCT] >> > > MAYOR PRO TEM, MR. MAYOR, I'' M GOING TO THROW THESE NOTES AWAY TALK ABOUT GOALS FOR THE CITY FOR THE GOALS OF THE DEVELOPER. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE CITY ARE THE GOALS THAT WE MET. THE REQUIREMENTS THAT YOU GAVE United States. THE REQUIREMENTS THAT YOU ASKED United States TO FOLLOW. THE NEEDS THAT EXIST TONIGHT. YOU UNDERSTAND, IT'' S FINE TO SAY WHAT EXCELLENT DESIGNERS WE WERE, HOW WE WORKED WITH PEOPLE, HOW WE DEALT WITH NEIGHBORHOODS, HOW WE COLLABORATED WITH EVERYONE TO BE ABLE TO FIND UP WITH A JOB THAT EVERYBODY SAYS TONIGHT IS A GREAT JOB WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE BUDGET FRIENDLY HOUSING SCENARIO, BUT YOU PUT ON'' T HAVE THE REAL STATUTE OR YOU WEAR'' T HAVE THE ACTUAL PROGRAM FOR US TO FOLLOW.YOU ARE INFORMING DEVELOPERS THAT YOU CAN BENEFIT TWO YEARS WITH THE PERSONNEL TO FIND UP WITH EXACTLY WHAT THE CITY WANTS, EXACTLY WHAT THE CITY REQUIRES, AND AFTER THAT WHEN WE GET BEFORE THE COUNCIL AFTER THAT YOU SAY YOU DID A REMARKABLE JOB, MET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS NOW WE ' RE GOING TO TRANSFORM YOU DOWN SINCE THERE ' S DEMANDS THAT WE DON ' T EVEN HAVE BUT WE'' D LIKE FOR YOU TO HAVE A POSTPONEMENT ON YOUR PROJECT.YOU ' RE TELLING DEVELOPERS ALL THROUGHOUT THIS CITY THAT THERE ARE MORATORIUMS THAT WILL CERTAINLY BE SET BY THIS COUNCIL BASED ON OBJECTIVES/TOOLS THAT DO NOT EVEN EXIST, AND I THINK THAT ' S POOR PLAN FOR THE RESIDENTS OF DURHAM NOT JUST FOR THE DESIGNER BUT FOR THE CITIZENS OF DURHAM. I WISH YOU WILL CERTAINLY RECONSIDER THIS. BECAUSE THIS IS GREATER THAN SIMPLY THIS DEVELOPMENT, I HOPE EACH AND EVERY PERSON OF YOU WILL CERTAINLY REASSESS THIS. YOU ARE SENDING A MESSAGE NOT JUST, NOT ONLY SIMPLY TO THE CITY OF DURHAM AND ITS RESIDENTS, NOT SIMPLY THE PEOPLE OF US THAT PAY TAX OBLIGATIONS FOR THIS LITE RAIL TRANSPORTATION UH BUT YOU ' RE SENDING A MESSAGE THERE IN RALEIGH TELLING THEM THAT THIS LITE RAIL THAT WE WANT TO HAVE IN DURHAM AND ORANGE AND WAKE THAT WE REALLY DON ' T OFFER– YOU CAN DRINK YOUR HEAD– BUT WE REALLY DON ' T OFFER THE FOCUS THAT WE HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU SINCE THERE, THEY ALREADY TRIEDED TO TAKE AWAY THE FUNDING WHEREFORE WE ' RE GOING TO DO.NOW THE PRIVATE SECTOR STEPS ONWARD IN A SPECIFIC PROJECT SUCH AS THIS AND WE'' LL SOLUTION THE ROADS,
ENHANCE THE ROADS AND ADDITIONALLY SIT RIGHT WHERE YOU REQUIRED IT TO BE FOR LITE RAIL AND THE ECONOMIC SECTORS DONE THIS TOGETHER WITH PUBLIC INDUSTRY BUT DURHAM CLAIMS NO, SO I JUST WANT TO SAY TO YOU, YES, I ' M TALKING UP A LITTLE LITTLE BIT BUT I ' M SPEAKING OUT A LITTLE BIT DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU ' RE SETUP A CRITERION AS WE ATTEMPTED TO COLLECTION APRECEDENT FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING WITHOUT THE GOALS AND TOOLS FOR United States TO DO IT, YOU ' RE ALSO SETUP A CRITERION IN RESPECT TO MORATORIUMS IN DURHAM AND ADVANCEMENT IN DURHAM. THANKS. > > MANY THANKS. COUNCIL MEMBER SCHEWEL, I WISHED TO REMARK BRIEFLY ON YOUR THOUGHTS THAT WAITING A YEAR MAYBE A LITTLE BIT EVEN MORE THAN A YEAR TO HAVE A THICKNESS PERK COULD MAKE A SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN DURHAM. TO HAVE THE BONUS OFFERS YOU WILL CERTAINLY CREATE INCENTIVE FOR PROGRAMMERS BUT YOU WILL NOT HAVE ACTUALLY SOLVED THE MATHEMATICS. YOU WILL CAN CALL FOR THEM OR INCENT THEM TO GIVE YOU BUDGET-FRIENDLY HOUSING BUT YOU HAVEN ' T ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM OF THE GAP.JUST BAZ THERE ' S A DENSITY PERKS DOESN ' T MEAN WE CANISTER AFFORD THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING SYSTEMS. THEREFORE, L UNTIL THE MATHEMATICS IS RIGHT IN DURHAM DEVELOPERS WILL NOT TAKE YOU UP ON THAT DENSITY BENEFIT. THEY WILL PURCHASE EVEN MORE LAND AND THEY WILL CERTAINLY DEVELOP IT TEN OR 12 UNITS TO THE ACRE DUE TO THE FACT THAT DURHAM RIEKT NOW THE RENTS IN DURHAM CANISTER NOT ASSISTANCE 15 %BUDGET-FRIENDLY HOUSING UNITS. IT SIMPLY TIN ' T. THERE ' S A HUGE VOID. SO MY POINTER WOULD BE THAT IS'A PRIMARY STEP AND I ' M HAPPY THE CITY ' S HEADED BECAUSE INSTRUCTIONS, BUT UNTIL YOU HAVE THE FUNDING IN AREA OR THE TOOLBOX IN POSITION THAT, THICKNESS BENEFIT IS STILL DANGLING OUT THERE IN THE AIR. IT ' S NOT GOING TO CAUSE TO HAPPEN WHAT YOU WISH TO HAVE HAPPEN. I THINK THAT YOU ' RE EXPERT OFFERED YOU THESE OUTCOMES. SHE SAID THE MATH MAY NOT BENEFIT A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. UM … I JUST BELIEVES IT ' S SIMPLY An ITEM OF'THE PROCEDURE TO PUT A BENEFIT IN AREA IS A TOOL BUT NO ONE WILL CERTAINLY TAKE YOU UP ON THAT DEVICE IF THE MATH DOESN ' T WORK SO IT ' S ONLY HALF OF THE SOLUTION AND WE ' D BE NO FURTHER ALONG WHEN THAT POLICY IS TAKEN ON THAN WE ARE TODAY.UM, THANKS. > > PERMIT ME TO– YOU HAVE A PERSON ELSE TO COME
? PROCEED. >> SINCE YOU ' RE SIMPLY MAKING IT HARDER FOR ME, > > I ' M DRINKING MY HEAD. IT'' S HARD THE TO VOTE AGAINST A ROOM OF PEOPLE AND I ' M GOING TO TO ACCOMPLISH IT TONIGHT AND HAVE YOU RAIL AT ME AND MAKE IT RESEMBLE YOU UH CONTAINER BULLY ME INTO IT MAKES IT A LITTLE HARDER. THAT ' S WHAT I ' M SHAKING ME HEAD AT. I WEAR'' T THINK IT ' S GOING TO BE A YEAR. WE TAKE OUR TIME, OUR COMPANY BELIEVE IN TRANSPARENCY,
WE BELIEVE IN INCLUSION.NOW CHAPEL HILL GOT IT DONE A GREAT DEAL FASTER AND THEN THEY TURNED and had a ballot OUT SOME CITY BOARD AND THEIR MAYOR BECAUSE THAT'' S NOT THE MEANS IT NEED TO BE DONE. WE TAKE OUR TIME AND I DON ' T THINK WE ' LL OBTAIN IT CARRY OUT IN A YEAR AND I PUT ON ' T THINK WE ' LL HAVE THE SPACE ENCLOSED A YEAR. NOW, I THINK MY COLLEAGUE VERY METICULOUSLY MENTIONED WELL HOW THIS MEETS MUCH OF THE OBJECTIVES OF OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.'BECAUSE SOMEONE DESERVES IT, that ' S WHY I ' M VOTING FOR IT TONIGHT.I ' M NOT ELECTING FOR IT. INCIDENTALLY, PROGRAMMERS TAKE RISKS, MR. SPALDING. THEY KNOW THE RISK EXISTS AND THEY CONSTRUCTED THAT INTO THEIR PRO FORMAS TO ENSURE THAT'' S WHAT THE PROCEDURE IS AND THE VARIOUS OTHER THING I ' M SMAIK SHAKING MY HEAD AT IS, WE SANCTUARY'' T VOTED, THERE ' S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO RAIL AT YET. IF WE HAPPEN TO SAY NO, THAT ' S OUR RIGHT. GIVEN THAT THIS SATISFIES MANY OF THE OBJECTIVE OF THE CITY, GIVEN THIS DOES PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING– AND THE ONLY FACTOR I CAN ELECT IT IS BECAUSE IRONICALLY IT REMAINS IN A TRANSPORTATION LOCATION. BEYOND A TRANSIT AREA, IT WOULD NOT MEET THE GOALS WE WANT. THEREFORE, THE IMPORTANT THINGS THAT I DESPISE ON A BALLOT SIMILAR TO THIS IS THAT I BELIEVE IT'' S GOING TO DECREASE 4-3 AND IT SHOULDN'' T, BUT IT WILL.LOOKS LIKE IT
WILL AND THAT'' S THE WAY >> IT ' LL BE. > > ARE THERE OTHER– I ' M GOING TO SHUT THE PUBLIC HEARING. I WISH TO MAKE CERTAIN WE ' VE GOT PERSONS ON THE COUNCIL THAT HAVE THEIR SAY.

MY NAME IS DAN JEWEL, HERE TO DEMAND OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS DESIGNER MR. SCOTT BEDNAZ WITH US ALSO RIGHT HERE THIS EVENING ARE TASK DESIGNER AND LANDSCAPE ENGINEER. I'' LL BE EXTREMELY BRIEF.STEVE PROVIDED YOU INTRODUCTION OF THE ITEM BUT WHAT WE ' RE ASKING IS FOR A REZONING FROM A PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT'' S CURRENTLY ZONED COMMERCIAL AND OFFICE WITH THE UNDERLYING LAND USE AS COMMERCIAL TO MIXED USAGE. WHY BLENDED USE? WELL MR. BEDNAZ WISH TO PRODUCE A REAL MODERATE SCALE BLENDED USE PLACE WHERE ONE DOES NOT EXIST TODAY. AS YOU ALL KNOW THIS WEBSITE BEINGS IN THE FRONT OF NEW HOPE COMMONS, IT'' S SURROUNDED BY CHAPEL HILL BLVD ON ONE SIDE, THE INTERSTATE 40 OFF RAMP ONRAMP BEYOND, THE BACK END OF THE BEST ACQUIRE STORE ON THE NORTH SIDE AND ANY ANY STORAGE WAREHOUSES ON THE EASTERN SIDE, SO BUT WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT RIGHT HERE NOW IF YOU'' VE BEEN OUT TO THE BLACK RESIDENCE OR THE COFFEE SHOP OF STRAW VALLEY SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YOU RECOGNIZE THERE'' S THIS GREAT INTRIGUING SMALL-SCALE GARDEN WITH AN OLD RESIDENCE AND BARNS THAT DEVELOPS THIS WONDERFUL AREA, AND MR.BEDNAZ WANT TO RECREATE THAT ON A SLIGHTLY LARGER RANGE. WHAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING IS TO COMMIT TO MID CENTLY RI MODERN DESIGN, PROPOSING TO PRODUCE A CLUSTER, A GROUPINGS OF BUILDINGS AROUND A CENTRAL COURT YARD THAT WILL CERTAINLY BE OVERTHE TOP OF THE CAR PARK. THE PARK WILLING BE STRUCTURED UNDERGROUND SO IT WON'' T TAKE AWAY FROM THE ATMOSPHERES AND FEEL OF WHAT'' S HAPPENING AND ADDITIONALLY KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY A– THE TRAFFIC REALLY GONE DOWN HALF LESSENING VARIETY OF INSTITUTION KIDS FROM WHAT'' S OUT THERE AND WE ' RE NOT NEARLY PUSHING WHAT WE COULD REQUEST FOR WITHOUT EVEN A FUTURE LAND USAGE MAP CHANGE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS REMAINS IN AN LOCATION WHERE WE COULD RISE TO 53 UNIT TOSS THE ACHE FER APPROVED BY E YOU, THAT WOULD BE 240 RESIDENTIAL SYSTEMS. WE'' RE ONLY RECOMMENDING 50 AND 75,000 SQUARE FEET OF WORKPLACE AND COMMERCIAL. A VERY SMALL-SCALE BUT PROEP PRICE TRANSITIONAL JOB FROM WHAT IS SURROUNDING IT TO CREATING A NICE LOCATION WHERE INDIVIDUALS WANT TO BE AND THAT'' S WHAT MR. BEDNAZ WANT TO DO.

HERE WE HAVE ANOTHER GROWTH THAT IS IN A TRANSIT AREA, RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, AND WE HOPE THAT WE ' RE GOING TO OBTAIN SOME SUPPORT TOWARDS THE INEXPENSIVE HOUSING GOAL RIGHT HERE. THIS IS A REALLY VARIOUS DEVELOPMENT FROM THE LAST ONE BECAUSE IT IS SMALL AND A MUCH SMALLER SCALE AND IT ' S WOULD BE REALLY EXCELLENT TO SEE THAT REALLY UNDERUTILIZED TRACT THAT WE GO BY CONSTANTLY BECOME SOMETHING NICE AND SEEM LIKE An EXCELLENT PROJECT.AND ALSO AT THE INTENDING COMPENSATION CONFERENCE, DAN, MR. GEM SAID THAT THEY ANTICIPATED TO MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING AT THE REZONING AUTHORIZATION PHASE THEREFORE I ' M YOU UNDERSTAND AND HE TYPE OF RIGHTLY STATED THAT WE, UH-UH, WE, THERE ' S ANOTHER PERSON PRODUCT COMING THROUGH THAT HADN ' T GOT BUNCH THE COUNCIL YET BUT SINCE WE DON ' T HAVE THE PROGRAM EXERCISED IT ' S TOUGH AHEAD UP WITH A COMMITMENT THAT YOU CAN WRITE ON THE ADVANCEMENT PLAN, UH, BUT, , UM, I ' M SUSTAINING THIS AND I SUSTAINED IT AT THE INTENDING COMPENSATION AND I'HOPE THAT YOU COUNCIL INDIVIDUALS WILL ASK THE DEVELOPER TO ADHERE TO WITH WITH THIS ALTHOUGH WE DON ' T HAVE ANYTHING LEGITIMATELY BINDING BUT WE, THE HOPE THAT THE PROGRAMMER WILL, UM, UH OBTAIN WITH SEVERAL OF THE NON-PROFITS AND WOULD APPRECIATE THE COUNCIL ASKING HIM REGARDING IT.THANK YOU. > > YOU ' RE WELCOME. MR. JIM DOOR, DO YOU HAVE CONCERNS; IS THAT CORRECT? > >
I OWN THE 3 ACRES ON THE'EDGE WHICH IS THE BICYCLE CHAIN YOU MIGHT UNDERSTAND AND SWEDISH IMPORTS. >> EXCUSE ME. MY NAME IS JIM DOOR, MY ADDRESS IS 5609 DOLLAR QUARTER ROADWAY HILLS BORROW. CERTAINLY. I WAS BORN AND INCREASED IN DURHAM BUT STAY IN HILLS BORROW NOW. STILL HAVE THE 3 ACRES WE HAVE AND USE AND HAVE FOR THE LAST 30-35 YEARS. OUR CONCERN IS THE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION IN AND OUT OF OUR BACK ENTRANCE NOW IS An ISSUE. IT ' S REMARKABLE TROUBLE THROUGHOUT CHRISTMAS SEASON FROM THANKSGIVING ON ' TIL AFTER THE FIRST OF THE YEAR AND I CAN ' T THINK OF PLACING MORE AUTOMOBILES VIA THAT STREET BEHIND US. BRAND-NEW HOPE COMMONS 'DRIVE WITHOUT ADDRESSING A WEBSITE TRAFFIC SIGNAL OR SOMETHING ON THAT CORNER. IF THERE WAS ANYTHINGED THAT BEEN PREPARED FOR THAT OR NOT, I DIDN ' T KNOW. HADN ' T LISTENED TO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SIDEWALKS, BIG ISSUE WHEN NEW HOPE COMMONS WAS BUILT. THEY WERE REQUIRED TO EXPAND AND END UP WALKWAYS AND I WARNED ABOUT THIS TASK ALSO, THERE ' S NO PATHWAYS BEHIND STORAGE SPACE STRUCTURE BETWEEN MY PROPERTY AND THE HOME IN QUESTION.AND THERE ' S ANOTHER PERSON 400 FEET OF PROPERTY I KNOWN THAT DOES NOT HAVE A PATHWAY WHICH I REALLY FELT CALL FOR TO HAVE THAT. THOSE ARE MY E CONCERNS.
WHAT WILL CERTAINLY BE DONE ABOUT WEBSITE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION AND PATHWAYS. > > DO YOU WISHED TO TALK WITH THAT? > > DAN JEWEL AGAIN TO THE PARTICULAR INQUIRIES, WE ARE, AS A MATTER OF FACT, AT THE DESIGNER ' S EXPENDITURE PLACING> A BRAND-NEW TRAFFIC SIGNAL IN AT >> NEW HOPE COMMONS DRIVE AND INSTALL MORE RYE YES ROADWAY AND ADDITIONAL LANE WILL BE ADD THERE THAT WILL CERTAINLY IMPROVE THE TRAFFIC SITUATION FROM WHAT IT IS TODAY. IF ANY ONE OF YOU HAVE EVER BEFORE TRIED TO ELIMINATE OF NEW HOPE COMMONS ROAD ON MOUNT EVEN MORE RYE YEP ROADWAY YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT A NIGHTMARE IT IS SO THIS WILL CERTAINLY REALLY REGULAR INCREASE THE WEB TRAFFIC BEING AVAILABLE IN AND GOING OUT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON ' T HAVE PROBLEMS WE DO TODAY. WE ARE NOT RECOMMENDING TO PUT A SIDEWALK ALONG MR. DOOR ' S PROPERTY. THERE IS ALREADY EXISTING SIDEWALK AS E HE STATED ALONG THE OH SIDE OF NEW HOPE COMMONS DRIVE WHICH GOES OUT TO RIGHT BENT ON MOUNT MORIAH ROADWAY BUT WE DO NOT CONTROL ANY RIGHT OF WAY OR EXTRA PROBLEMS ON THERE.HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR INQUIRY, MR.

WINDERS ASKED AT THE INTENDING PAYMENT MEETING WHAT THIS CANDIDATE WOULD DO IN TERMS OF AFFORDABLE REAL ESTATE AND MY RESPONSE I THINK YOU COULD RETURN AND INSPECT THE TAPE WAS THAT WE WILL CERTAINLY DO >> WHAT THE COUNCIL ASKS United States TO PERFORM. I WOULD ADDITIONALLY LIKE TO CLEAR UP THAT OVER THE RECENTLY OR
SO WE HAVE CONSIDERED THAT CAREFULLY, , AND PARTICULARLY OVER THE LAST NUMBER OF DAYS THE CONVERSATION HAS COME UP ABOUT THE DISTANCE OF THIS SPECIFIC PIECE OF PROPERTY TO THE PROPOSED PATTERSON AREA LITE RAIL TERMINAL. UM, WE PREPARED EXHIBITIONS, I WILL CERTAINLY HAND THOSE OUT IF NECESSARY, BUT THIS PROPERTY IS ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIT OUTSIDE THE HALF MILE RADIUS FROM THE PATTERSON AREA TERMINAL. I SUSPECT IT ' S INCLUDED IN THE PATTERSON LOCATION COMPACT NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE PREPARATION DEPARTMENT ALWAYS TRIES TO INCLUDE HUGE ITEMS OF PROPERTY SUCH AS NEW HOPE COMMONS AND NOT DEVELOP DOUGHNUT HOLES WHICH THIS WOULD BE.FURTHER, IF YOU REALLY WERE TO STEP ALONG THE PATH THAT A PERSON WOULD WALK FROM STRAW VALLEY TO MOUNT MORIAH ROAD AFTER THAT DOWN THROUGHOUT BLVDS AND AT SOME POINT OVER TO KROGER WHICH IS IN WHICH THE TRANSPORTATION STOP WOULD BE, WE ' RE JUST ABOUT 3 QUARTERS OF A MILE STROLLING DISTANCE, TO ENSURE THAT ' S 15 MINS FOR PERSON THAT RELOCATES ALONG RATHER QUICKLY, FIFTY PERCENT MILE IS KIND OF THE IDENTIFIED STROLLING DISTANCE PEOPLE WILL STROLL WITHOUT JUMPING RIGHT INTO VEHICLE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUT THE VARIOUS OTHER POINT IS, IF ANY ONE OF YOU HAVE ACTUALLY EVER BEEN AVAILABLE AND ATTEMPTED TO CROSS THE JUNCTION AT CHAPEL HILLSIDE BOULEVARD AND MOUNT MORIAH ROAD, ACTUALLY I HAVE, PARADOXICALLY WHEN I WAS PRODUCING CAMPAIGN SIGNS FOR THE HALF CENT SALES TAX OBLIGATION TO SUPPORT TRANSIT, IT TOOK ME A FULL 20 MINUTES OF WAITING FOR THE SIGNALS TO CHANGE AND THAT KIND OF POINT TO OBTAIN SIGNS AT THE FOUR QUADRANTS AND UNFORTUNATELY, I ASSUME YOU ' RE ALL AWARE JUST A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH TRANSFORMED UP, THERE HAVE BEEN PEDESTRIAN FATALITIES AT THAT INTERCHANGE.MS. WINDERS DID ASK THE INQUIRY AT THE PLANNING PAYMENT CONFERENCE CLAIMED DAN HOW ARE PEOPLE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SECURELY STROLL FROM THIS LOCATION OVER TO THE TRANSIT STATION AND MY ANSWER WAS, I DON ' T KNOW, HOPEFULLY SOME DAY WE CONTAINER FIGURE IT OUT BUT RIGHT NOW THIS TASK IS NOT WITHIN WHAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER A STROLL ZONE OF THIS FUTURE TRANSIT TERMINAL AND FOR THAT FACTOR– DON I ' VE GONE ON TOO LONG I ' M SORRY. > > THE SOLUTION TO MY CONCERN AT THE INTENDING PAYMENT PAYMENT YOU CLAIMED YOU WOULD DO WHAT THE COUNCIL ASKED YOU TO ACCOMPLISH? > > YES. > > O.K..
