Docusign Envelope ID: B12C1AlE-882E-8064-8220-B41A635183AF A discussion ensued on whether the City had previously authorized the pursuit of a Pro -Housing designation, whether the updated density bonus ordinance would worsen existing parking issues given the potential for up to a 50 percent density increase, and whether adopting the ordinance effectively permits additional density or is simply required for state compliance.
Staff explained the Pro -Housing effort had already been approved through two Council resolutions, reduced parking ratios are already allowed under state law so the update does not create new parking impacts, and the ordinance must be updated to maintain compliance with state housing requirements, as developers can already use state -mandated density bonuses even without local adoption.
