However, Ms. Kvilvang sought further clarification if that included <br />the potential for redevelopment or only renovation. <br />Without objection, President Roe concluded the REDA supported renovation <br />OR replacement. <br />Also without objection, with Member Willmus highlighting it, consensus was <br />that the REDA did not support HIA as an option. <br />At the request of Member Etten, President Roe clarified the replacement <br />included meeting workforce needs as a target, and also providing missing <br />housin� stock options in the community, while focusing on rehabilitation, <br />redevelopment or replacement, but also including workforce or market study <br />identified needs. <br />Number and Type of Housin; <br />Ms. Kvilvan� compared responses in the survey and support or lack of support <br />for higher and lo�ver density, affordable and luxury housin�, as well as <br />parameters for the miY of affordable units, and novel housing solutions that are <br />sustainable. �'Is. Kvilvang suggested either leaving the policy open-ended or <br />remaining silent on this issue. <br />President Roe noted, � ^��* ^� *'�� m � �;��„��;�� �� < �� <br />b f <br />� <br />� <br />��pe�y�that with Federal tax credit funding often used for workforce <br />housing, the workforce units had to be in a single building versus spread across <br />multiple buildin�s, so would not support a policy requirin� units to be spread <br />across multiple buildin�s, but was supportive of consistent amenities and <br />quality amon� workforce and market rate units in a sin�project. <br />Member McGehee agreed, but reiterated her interest in parity in a building for <br />affordable and market rates, with the same buildin� quality and amenities. <br />President Roe stated his support of that as well, but based on reality, opined <br />there was a need to consider projects with multiple buildings to ensure they <br />offered the saine amenities and not t�vo different levels of housing. <br />
