<br />He added that the Redevelopment Area Plan's target goals included affordable rental units, <br />but what was approved for development on that site was ultimately up to the Agency <br />Directors. <br />In response to Director Ruskin's questions, Redevelopment Agency Director Church <br />said the developer would probably request some sort of subsidy ITom the City and/or <br />Agency. <br />Chairman Hartnett and Director La Berge stressed the need for quality affordable <br />housing in both single family homes and rental units, and the practicality of higher density <br />units in downtown transportation corridors. <br />2) Senior Planner Riordan described the development issues to consider which included <br /> on-going projects and about-to-begin projects in the wider area that could affect the <br /> timing of the Lonestar development; <br /> a. Jefferson Avenue Underpass; <br /> b. New traffic signal; <br /> c. Maple Street realignment; <br /> d. EI Camino Real code enforcement, Woodside to Vera Avenue; <br /> e.
