There were plans being thrown around in the State legislature that were supposed to make housing affordable but did nothing to address affordability. It was more of an attempt to override taxpayer -approved general plans. The ordinance showed the City was committed to being a partner with the community to deliver affordable housing for residents. Vice Mayor Clark said the Yucca District had its first shred event and it was well attended. Vice Mayor Clark said the City would be hosting three concurrent community engagement public open City Council Meeting Minutes - March 14, 2023 Page 8 of 9 houses tomorrow, March 15th regarding the Downtown Campus Reinvestment Project.
