Mr. Duncan said he understood that the nature of the tax credit program resulted in large projects due to the <br />complexity of the tax credit process. He added that there was not sufficient land in the Whiteaker or Trainsong <br />neighborhoods that could be used for larger projects. He noted that the literature indicated the tax credits had <br />created a positive impact in some low-income projects, due to requirements that units be well constructed and had <br />moved away from cinder block buildings. <br /> <br />In response to a question from Ms. Colbath, Mr. Weinman explained that the shaded area on the Housing <br />Dispersal Policy Eligibility Map 1990 Census indicated block groups that were not eligible for family subsidized <br />housing due to existing concentrations. He added that Mr. Doppelt supported the notion of not having a six unit <br />limit in the policy. <br /> <br />Ms. Colbath supported low-income housing that was integrated into the neighborhoods. She asked if the Walnut <br />Grove would have been built without the HDP. Mr. Weinman explained that there was a lot of pressure to <br />develop low-income housing in south Eugene that was certainly reinforced by the HDP. <br /> <br />Ms. Colbath expressed concern that there would not be enough teeth in a policy that was folded into the <br />Consolidated Plan. Mr. Weinman explained the existing HDP precluded low-income housing development in <br />some neighborhoods, citing the recent purchase of several Eugene School District 4-J properties for landbanking <br />sites. He said the City did not purchase Whiteaker School because the HDP prohibited development of additional <br />low-income housing in that neighborhood. He said some neighbors argued that it would have been a positive <br />move to have new, higher quality, low-income rental housing in the neighborhood. <br /> <br />In response to Mr. Belcher's concerns, Mr. Weinman suggested that the Planning Commission motion could <br />contain specific language regarding dispersal of low-income housing throughout the community for inclusion in <br />the Consolidated Plan. <br /> <br />Ms. Levis remarked that the HPB did not exist when the HDP was developed. She said things had changed and <br />an outmoded plan prevented the city from doing good things. <br /> <br />Mr. Lawless expressed concern that a viable project would be turned down due to the current HDP, adding that he <br />supported eliminating the specific barriers to desired development. <br /> <br /> L:\CMO\2005 Council Agendas\M050110\S0501103C.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
