<br /> <br />Board of Adjustments Minutes <br />May 28, 2024 <br />--------- <br />Page 3 of 5 <br /> <br />Mr. Carlton explained if the project proceeds based upon straight zoning, the developer would enter <br />into a Proof of Parking agreement outlining how many parking issues the project has had then allows <br />the city to direct the applicant to construct those parking stalls to correct the issues. If the applicant <br />chooses not to correct and construct the needed stalls, the city constructs them. The city council <br />approves the agreement. <br /> <br />Chair Beise opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />Brian Rucks –10296 209th Avenue NW - asked what kind of housing this would be as he was not <br />familiar with the project, and wondered how many of our tax dollars were being used. <br /> <br />Mr. Carlton explained the applicant will be requesting affordable housing low income tax credits from <br />the state. He stated it's a state-run program and doesn't include city TIF or tax abatement. If they do <br />decide to proceed with requesting TIF or tax abatement, it would require city council approval through <br />resolution. <br /> <br />There being no one else to speak, Chair Beise closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson stated he was in favor of reducing the outdoor parking requirements to 2:1 to <br />align with other recently constructed properties and their parking requirements. <br /> <br />Mr. Carlton clarified that the total requirement would be 2 stalls per dwelling unit, 40 covered stalls <br />and the remaining covered would be exterior surface stalls. The commission concurred. <br /> <br />Moved by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Rydberg to approve the <br />variance reducing the number of required parking stalls, a reduction to 2:1 with 2 stalls <br />per dwelling unit, 40 covered stalls and the remaining covered stalls would be exterior <br />surface stalls as: <br /> <br />1.
