<br />A written comment period followed the July HPB meeting, and was announced along with the public <br />hearing date in The Register-Guard. The announcement was also provided to the Cal Young <br />Neighborhood Association and to an interested parties list. <br /> <br />Due to concerns raised (see Attachment E for summary of concerns) at the public hearing in September, <br />the HPB delayed its scheduled action to make a final recommendation to the council and added a tour of <br />affordable housing sites (October 12), community forum (October 26), and an additional public hearing <br />(November 9). The HPB also extended the written comment period to November 9. The HPB will <br />decide on its recommendation to the City Council on November 14. The City Council will hold a work <br />session to discuss the forthcoming HPB recommendation on November 16 and is scheduled to take <br />action November 28. A summary of the HPB public hearing, public comments received, and the HPB <br />meeting will be provided to the council. <br /> <br /> <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br />The proposed project supports multiple City priorities and policies including the Eugene-Springfield <br />2010 Consolidated Plan, Growth Management Policies, and the Housing Dispersal Policy. <br /> <br />Eugene-Springfield 2010 Consolidated Plan <br /> -This plan identifies a need for affordable housing for <br />low-income persons and sets a five-year goal of developing 500 new units of affordable housing.
