Eugene Planning Commission <br />August 11, 2016 <br />Page 7 <br />astronomical costs for a proposal for affordable housing, making it less likely that housing can <br />actually be built or will actually be affordable. <br />A decision by the Planning Commission in favor of the Applicant would confirm that the old <br />standards apply to future development proposals for needed housing on the subject property, <br />eliminating years of costly litigation and providing the security developers of affordable <br />housing need for project development. <br />This CIR CUP approval has the potential to shine the spotlight on the City of Eugene as a leader <br />in affordable housing projects. The Planning Commission has the authority and the power to <br />make that happen. The Applicant requests that you approve the appeal and impose the <br />requested condition of approval. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />va Leo" <br />Bill Kloos <br />Incl: <br />Memorandum - first <br />Memorandum - second <br />
