Motion carried. <br /> <br />Public Input <br /> <br />Donna Wieman, 1406 Arden View Drive, noted at the last JDA meeting a member suggested <br />that instead of focusing on the number of TCAAP units that pictures and renderings should be <br />considered. She noted the overall number of units was important because hundreds of more <br />units would create more traffic as well as a strain on public safety and City services. She noted <br />this JDA member also suggested the JDA not focus on the number of affordable units, but <br />rather to focus on the jobs and wages of the companies that will be located on TCAAP. She
