in the improvement of the quality of life for the park residents; that the repairs are
estimated at $850,000; that the Agency is contributing $400,000 to the fund; that
the schedule has been established and includes items such as sewers, electric,
landscaping, walls and renovating the clubhouse; that it may take 10 years to
fully implement all improvements, but that the proposed agreement will improve
the park and preserve affordable housing for the Community,

opposition; that the statement was that TOT should pay for the program; that

comments have been that the competition should not be given an advantage;

centered around the logo; that once the Tribal Council committed to the logo and
reaffirmed its commitment it was known that the logo was an absolute; that this
type of program is successful; that in reviewing past efforts in the downtown area
indicates the success; and that as the program becomes visible, there is certainty

program; that the Agency is trying to create a safe atmosphere for the people to
walk to the downtown area; that there is nothing wrong with the logo being on the
standards on Section 14 land; that those business that are located on Indian

that the trench will be in the street and inaccessible for this use.

future fixtures.

not be pleasing.

cover for the anchor bolts with a foundation in place and that example of the
same situation is on Palm Canyon Drive.

moved by Mills, seconded by Oden and unanimously carried, that R1175 be

''001 lawsuit between the developer and the Agency; that the there is
requirement for the City to give assistance to the developer to acquire certain

income housing; zoning and use of the property area.
Director of Planning & Zoning stated that there has been debate over the matter;
but in fact affordable housing is spread throughout the City; that the zoning is for
high density residential; such as condo or housing care facilities; that use in
zones can be considered by Conditional Use Permits upon application to
dletermine the suitability.
Agency Member Hodges stated opposition was given to the settlement
agreement; that the lawsuit was not right; and that this item should not be given
support.
Agency Member Mills stated that the Planning Commission did receive numerous
comments, that discussion of alternative use of site ensued; that this project is
well done; that it does meet the needs of the neighborhood; that all requirements
were not met, so a PD was created; that research on the operator was done; that
all comments were favorable; that it is unfortunate the way this project has gone,
but now the project is agreeable; that it is not clear what else could be done on
the site that would be better.
Chairman stated that the project is of high quality and questioned why the
application process is cited in the amendment.
Agency Counsel stated that the application in the July 2002 cycle is currently
under way; that the amendment does allow the application of tax credits; that
there are three tries allowed and rather than come back in 2003 the number was
cited in the amendment.
Agency Member Oden stated that initially support was given to the project; that
the City does have housing issues; that it is a fact that the project has gone
through work and revisions with the Planning Commission to offer the best
possible project; that there may not be the same cooperation with another
developer.
Agency Member Hodges stated the neighbors do not think this is a good project;
that condominiums could be offered on this property; that low income housing
does not have to be a requirement in this location and that it would be better to
put some other project in place at this site.
