City's assistance to reduce its size. A number of my neighbors have repeatedly <br />reached out to one council member in particular, who now with district elections is <br />supposed to represent them, who instead supports greater two story ADUs in the <br />name of affordable housing. It makes one wonder what interests are really at play. <br />I happened upon an advertisement in the newspaper just yesterday, in the Real <br />Estate section. It was for JSM Homes- a provider of quality ADUs that are built right <br />on site. They provide preset floor plans ranging from 352 sq ft to 485 sq ft one <br />bedroom, junior one bedroom or studios. With prices starting at $275,000. If that is <br />the cost of a simple one story ADU, one could only imagine the cost of the scrape and <br />build over a detached garage that we have seen as a result of our flawed ordinance. <br />If the goal is what you say it is- increasing affordable housing stock, streamlining the <br />process to construct affordable housing stock, and incentivizing a type of housing <br />that is actually affordable to build and therefore rented at a more affordable rate, <br />then adopt the recommendation made by staff. <br />Thank you for your time and consideration. <br />Rachel Holt <br />
