15 <br /> 1 greenways between development, among other components that would make a community <br /> 2 complete. <br /> 3 Commissioner Hamilton asked how affordable housing is defined, as far Chapel Hill's goal <br /> 4 for affordable housing on their Town-owned parcel within the proposed boundary. <br /> 5 Judy Johnson said that would be like income restricted homes, so 80% or 60% AMI. She <br /> 6 said she can send more detailed information. <br /> 7 Commissioner Hamilton asked if the Town has a sense of how much affordable housing <br /> 8 would fit on that piece of land. <br /> 9 Judy Johnson said no analysis has been done of that property and is around 12 acres. <br /> 10 Commissioner Hamilton asked why not do some of the next steps ahead of approving the <br /> 11 boundary change so Chapel Hill has a sense of how it wants to develop before asking approval <br /> 12 to move the line. She said once developers come in, she sees a tradeoff of housing that is <br /> 13 subsidized and affordable vs. naturally occurring affordable housing. She said concerns raised <br /> 14 by the community, specifically ETJ residents, could be better addressed ahead of moving the <br /> 15 boundary. <br /> 16 Judy Johnson said the simple answer is that the Town Council received a petition and are <br /> 17 responding to it. She said the first step to responding is to bring the amendment to the five parties <br /> 18 to the agreement. She said the next steps will be a multi-year process. <br /> 19 Commissioner Hamilton asked when the LUMO will be complete. <br /> 20 Judy Johnson said they hope to have a draft this fall. <br /> 21 Commissioner Hamilton asked how the term "missing middle" is defined. <br /> 22 Judy Johnson said Chapel Hill went through an effort last year to address the "missing <br /> 23 middle" and look at adding diverse housing choices within the Town. She said the goal isn't large <br /> 24 apartment complexes but doesn't think it's large single-family homes on a large lot either. She <br /> 25 said the visioning stage is critical to further define this. <br /> 26 Commissioner Hamilton asked how the "missing middle" is encoded in the LUMO so that <br /> 27 when developers come, it constrains them to that. <br /> 28 Judy Johnson said they are starting to think about that. She suggested that putting limits <br /> 29 on lot size or a maximum house size could require developers to build what the vision is and keep <br /> 30 house costs down. <br /> 31 Commissioner McKee asked to go back to the map on slide #4 in Judy Johnson's <br /> 32 presentation. He asked her to show him where the current major transit stop is. <br /> 33 Judy Johnson said it is just north of the map. <br /> 34 Commissioner McKee asked if there is any reason public transportation would not be able <br /> 35 to extend in this area. <br /> 36 Judy Johnson said there is none. <br /> 37 Commissioner Richards asked if Chapel Hill had not been presented with the petition, <br /> 38 would they not have pursued this amendment. <br /> 39 Judy Johnson said she cannot answer that question, as that would be a Town Council <br /> 40 decision. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 PUBLIC COMMENTS: <br /> 43 Mearis Martin said he and his family live in the rural buffer. He said this is a crucial step <br /> 44 toward addressing affordable housing needs in the community. He said a yes vote to this is not a <br /> 45 rubber stamp for future development. He said the extension of water and sewer to unserved areas <br /> 46 is necessary for any expansion of homes. He said Chapel Hill and Orange County already have <br /> 47 strict development guidelines. He said lack of affordable housing impedes businesses in the area <br /> 48 in their hiring efforts. <br /> 49 Mark Johnson said he and his wife own a historic farm and they care very much about <br /> 50 people and are speaking in favor of extending the boundary. He said he sees this as a social <br /> 51 justice issue and asked the Board to vote yes. <br />
