No. 3523--A resolution adopting the amended and restated standards and guidelines for processing applications for the Multi- ple-Unit Rental Housing Local Property Tax Exemption. Mr. Obie moved, seconded by Ms. Smith, to adopt the resolution. Ms. Wooten was concerned that by adopting this resolution, the council was encouraging development of a denser downtown core at the expense of the existing low and moderate income living units and might thereby create a displacement problem. Mr. Byrne replied that preservation of existing housing stock on a site is one of the specific public benefits listed in the Standards and Guide- lines for the program. Mr. Gleason noted that in practice the City's primary focus on housing in the core area has been on rehabilitation. He presumed that this would continue to be the City's practice. e Ms. Miller said that the proposal calls for elimination of the Project Advisory Committee. Mr. Byrne agreed but said that there still would be a review by the Joint Housing Committee, the School District, other City agencies and departments, and finally by the council. Mr. Lindberg noted that the council had approved the expansion of the Joint Housing Committee to include citizen-at-large members, and specifically a representative of a chartered neighborhood group.
