He stated that cities need more <br /> tools to offer developers to develop affordable housing but AB 1229 does not require <br /> cities to develop affordable. <br /> Public Comment <br /> James Lee Han thanked the Council for responding to his letter regarding AB 1229. He <br /> spoke about people in Redwood City struggling with housing prices and he asked <br /> Council to support AB 1229. <br /> One Council Member expressed his concerns about the unintended consequence of AB <br /> 1229. Mayor Aguirre noted that it gives the opportunity but it does not require <br /> inclusionary zoning.

Another Council Member <br /> noted that he thinks that the power needs to be returned to local jurisdictions so that the <br /> community can make decisions for affordable housing. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Provide direction to the Mayor regarding AB 1229, and if appropriate, <br /> authorize the Mayor to sign the attached letter supporting AB 1229. <br /> MINUTE ORDER 13-192 <br /> M/S Gee/Seybert to approve the letter.
