McGlincy Lane. Planning Commission asked why there would be one moderate income unit built. Senior Planner Fama clarified that State density bonus law effectively provides developer a number of incentives and concessions, and increase in density that allows a project to go beyond the density that the City would allow. Those different incentives have a relationship to the percentage of low market units that are being offered in a project. By offering a moderate level unit they are able to obtain what they are proposing. Chair Ching opened public comment Raja Pallela stated that it is important to build multi-unit projects with more units per acre. Minimum density should start at 24 units. Chair Ching closed then opened public comment section so that the applicant could speak.
