Regular Planning Commission <br />Meeting Date: 04/06/2017 <br />By: Tim Gladhill, Community Development <br />5. 9. <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Appoint Ad -Hoc Subcommittee Members to Update Housing Plans <br />Purpose/Background: <br />The purpose of this case is to authorize the Planning Commission to re-establish an Ad -Hoc Subcommittee to <br />update various Housing Plans for the City. This structure was used to create the City's Housing Assistance Policy. <br />A Housing Plan is a required component of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update. <br />Notification: <br />Notification is not required. <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />The Planning Commission has been integral in establishing housing policies and plans for the community. The City <br />does not have a Housing Committee or Housing and Redevelopment Authority to focus on housing issues and <br />policy. The Planning Commission has served in this role in the past. In 2014, an ad -hoc sub -committee of the <br />Planning Commission was established specifically to create a Housing Assistance Policy. <br />Both the Housing Plan and Housing Assistance Policy are in need of update for a variety of reasons. Most notably, <br />Staff believes there is a more effective way to retain the structure of both documents and coordinate with the City's <br />Business Subsidy Policies, also in need of update. The EDA will be taking a proactive role in the update of the <br />Comprehensive Plan Update - Economic Development Plan and updates to the City's Business Subsidy Policies. <br />The EDA will also have a key role in the financial component of the City's housing plans. In essence, this board <br />will be an equal partner with the Planning Commission in updating the City's Housing Plans. <br />Funding Source: <br />Updates to the Housing Plans are being handled as part of normal Staff duties. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the Planning Commission to appoint two (2) Planning Commissioners to the Ad -Hoc Housing <br />Committee to update the City's Housing Plan. The City Council requested one (1) EDA member also be appointed. <br />Action: <br />Motion to to appoint two (2) Planning Commissioners to the Ad -Hoc Housing Committee to update the City's <br />Housing Plan. <br />2030 Comprehensive Plan Housing Plan <br />Housing Assistance Policy <br />Planning Commission Work Plan <br />Comprehensive Plan Update Schedule <br />Attachments <br />
