The CED Committee directed staff to work with President Jenkins on proposed amendments to Zone 3 for City Council’s consideration and adoption at the July 1, 2025, meeting.
As shown in Supplemental Exhibit D, the Affordable Housing Impact Fee for multi-family, townhome, and single-family housing in Zone 3 shall be set at zero (0) percent of the listed square footage rate for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2025–26 and for Fiscal Years 2026–27 and 2027–28. This change will take effect immediately upon final adoption if the ordinance receives six or more affirmative votes.
Respectfully submitted,
