WHEREAS. at said public hearing. up�n hearing and considering all
testimony and arguments of all interested persons desiring to be heard. said
city council did find the following facts to exist to justify denial of the
appeal.
�
l. The housing element estabiished a goal of 120� low ��nd moderate
housing units to be achieved within a 5 year period. In the first
" year more than 847. has been attained. This 847. tigur� does nor.
include density bonus projects (ie: -i52 units at Mount.�in View Falls
among others).
2. Six potential high density areas were delineated in the housing
element, however, there was no guarantee that all six would be
developed under the program. IF all six were to develop the city
would achieve considerably in excess of the identified need of (200
units. The identified 1200 unit need was over a 5 year period.
3.
4.
The impacts of the already approved and developed high density units
in the city have not been adequately assessed.
Approval of additional affordable high density projects at th9s time
is premature.
