On behalf of the Sacramento Housing Alliance, we strongly urge the City to adopt standards that would require affordable housing development (even if commercial or other nonresidential development is proposed). In addition, the City should include policies that incentivize the development of affordable housing on public surplus lands. That staff report suggests that any additional requirements would constrain or discussing new development BUT provides now information or data to support that assertion. This item should be sent back to staff to request a more detailed analysis and recommendations. Thank you.
