Recommendation to direct City Manager to work with Development Services and the City Attorney to study the benefits of the CSCDA Middle Income Workforce Housing Program, analyze the process enacted by other California cities for adoption, and return at the next City Council meeting with a proposed draft resolution authorizing the same.
Okay. Thank you. Just a couple more items. 58, please. Recommendation of direct city manager to work with development services and the city attorney to study the benefits of CCD, a middle income workforce housing program. At County Pierce. Thank you very much for bringing this item. We thank you for my colleagues for joining me on this item. As we know, we have renal numbers that we're trying to meet and what's been missing has been our middle income workforce housing. So I encourage my colleagues to support this with one change that we push it out for 60 days so staff doesn't need to return for 60 days. So with that, I. Urge your support. These are second second accounts from Richardson. Councilmember Richardson. I support the motion. Okay. I'll just. I'm just going to go out and add also, I think this councilman I think this is actually interesting. So I know it's it's kind of a new model. And so I look forward to hearing back from staff here in the weeks ahead about about this model of financing and housing. So any anytime we can get more workforce housing. That's a that's a great thing. So let's go ahead. I don't see there's any public comments or to a roll call vote. Mr. Mayor, we have one public comment from election. Oh, I'm sorry about that. Go ahead. I think city council members, just very quickly. Very much appreciate your engagement on this on this item. I'm here tonight on behalf of a number of affordable and middle income housing developers. As you know, in the last several days, city of Oakland, San Jose and Carson have adopted similar programs to help meet their respective numbers, as Councilmember Pierce pointed out. I also want to appreciate staff's engagement. I know that there's been some dialog going on between a number of developers, including Waterford and city staff, and in particular wanted to thank Tom Modica, Lynda Tatum, Christopher Coons and Rick Champion, the city attorney's office for their engagement. I both want to apologize for the urgency in sort of our discussions with city staff in in bringing this to light, but also provide some context. You know, the target of these of this new financing structure is to take class-A buildings and convert them to affordable and middle income housing. And the longer that cities wait, the more right they are for market rate developers to come in and take that housing stock out of the the potential for this program. So, again, very much appreciate everyone's interest. You have a lot of interest from the development community. Thank. You're going to sell. Thank you. Thank you. Well, we'll call back, please. District one i. District two, i. District three. District four. District five. District six. District six. District seven. I District eight. District nine. At this stretch. Five, six, six, I think you. Okay. I'm 60. And in 60.
