FX Project Sunshine Ordinance Meeting Notes from 10/8/19 Public Meeting Summary of verbal comments or questions provided by the public and responses offered by members of the Project Team. 1)Several families came to the meeting looking for affordable housing opportunities. One woman who came with her children stated that she is paying $1700/month, and experiences a $100/month increase every six months. She is also currently living without hot water. She and others were referred, where appropriate, to resources such as other affordable housing projects (i.e. Legacy Square) and organizations such as Fair Housing. Guests were informed that the project has specific criteria (residents of the project must be homeless) for those eligible to live at this facility, which many of those in attendance would be unable to meet. 2)One gentleman came to the meeting and voiced a concern regarding parking within the Lacy Neighborhood. He was representing his family and he mentioned that his mother wanted a parking structure, not new housing. He expressed a desire to have permit parking required on Garfield Street south of Civic Center Drive to improve the current parking situation for his neighborhood. The team informed this individual that the project is designed with adequate parking so that residents will park vehicles exclusively onsite. It was explained that the Architect designed the project so that the applicable code for parking is exceeded by 3 parking spaces. The team also expressed their understanding of the difficulties that are posed by parking in the neighborhood. The gentleman explained that his own apartment building has garages which the owner refuses to rent to tenants as he rents them out to businesses to generate additional income. This leaves residents of their building with only 1 parking space per apartment unit. Exhibit 8 -Sunshine Ordinance Community Meeting MinutesCityCouncil2–31 3/22/2021
