Girardi You keep saying that it's affordable housing, but there's actually no commitment anywhere in this application That this is gonna be affordable housing. There's Okay. It's just a rezoning to MF one. So Have you used have you obtained any grants from our community development department to ensure this remains affordable.

Girardi I'm just not really clear whether this is an affordable housing project or not, but uh but okay. It sounds like a sales pitch. I'm just saying that most affordable housing projects that are that come into the county and they're seeking approval as an affordable housing project.

Girardi they try to take advantage of either grants or reductions of impact fee. They they There's a lot of things they do to make the project affordable. Typically an affordable project wouldn't want to be paying one point four million in impact fee because then they gotta raise their rents. Which probably makes it not affordable. So you're coming in here saying it's affordable But you you haven't done any of the steps that a normal affordable housing applicant would do. To make sure it stays affordable.

Girardi You know, I understand that you're not going to be able to do that. Client has done a lot of affordable housing projects. Santa Bell 102 is fairly new. This tax exemption is all new. So it's possible As your client, he may actually want to do this With only based on a tax exemption. So If that's the case, we won't get this finding these financing documents that you're talking about. Finature affordability. So There has to be some other mechanism to ensure that if we gave you all this additional density based on it being affordable How are we gonna guarantee that happens ten years from now, twenty years from now when the property is sold?

Girardi Okay, and the level of commitment you're gonna make on affordability would is Important if it's going to be treated as an affordable housing project. You have a Sounds like you have a partner that's used to doing that, maybe. But it didn't sound like either one of you did anything to move that.
