" Enarson indicated she understood the City's position, but expressed that under the Community Direction Statement and after much public comment, this is not going to help affordable housing, that it is very expensive. She suggested an easier and less expensive way to do this would be to tie it to tiering and to major utilities, going with engineering design standards instead of with the legal things. McMahan explained that he feels it is not the process but what is implemented through the process.

Consensus was in order to expedite it, the transmittal memo for Council would be reviewed by the Chair rather than the entire Planning Commission. A. Review draft tiering map proposed to implement Comprehensive Plan phasing goal (pages VII-4 through VII-5) Strategy of the Comp Plan is: Tier I City to fund a share infrastructure extensions Tier II City to fund a portion of the extension of infrastructure to serve the residential and commercial upzones Tier III Up to persons wishing to develop McMahan pointed out the Engineering Design Standards ordinances are being crafted to explicitly require a proportionate share from the Public Works budget for the cost of infrastructure that reflects developed parcels. The City is trying to put in place good public facilities and also assist in paying for some of the facilities to offset impacts and make it as affordable as possible within Tier I; conversely, it will be more expensive to develop in Tier III. McMahan went on to say it is the intent of the Comprehensive Plan to maximize public expenditure in areas of town designated for infill and make sure that Capital Facilities budgets are expended in these areas to implement the goals and policies of the Comp Plan.
