Seconded by Farber. Applicant Jim Gantz, 12241 Forest Meadow Dr., who owns the property, summarized the reason for amending the PUD as the expiration of Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) for the property under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code. Howard Riedel, 3125 Pennsylvania Ave. Apt. 112, Suzanne Rubenbauer, 3125 Pennsylvania Ave.; and Pat Willis, 3125 Pennsylvania Ave. Apt. 212, spoke in opposition to the amendment, citing the importance of the Applewood I Apartment Complex providing affordable housing to seniors. Rick Dickinson, 205 Hill St., spoke in favor of the amendment, emphasizing the communities need for housing. In response to a question from the City Council, Gantz clarified that Section 42 was not a subsidy but provided incentives such as fa- vorable assessments. In response to a question about why a member of the Zoning Advisory Commission (ZAC) voted against the amendment, Commissioner Rich Rus- sell, 2045 Embassy West Dr., stated he could not recall the specific reason but believed it may have been related to traffic concerns. City Council stated that understanding commissioners’ reasons for opposing a request would be helpful. City Council Mem- bers noted that they have no control over the expiration of Section 42 and expressed support for the amendment, emphasizing the city’s continued need for housing. They also highlighted the careful consideration given to rezonings of this nature and encour- aged open communication between property owners and tenants. Responding to questions, Brumwell stated that other provisions of the Fair Housing Act allow for certain qualifications of tenant populations and that landlords should consult with private legal counsel for guidance. In response to questions, Planning Services Director Wally Wer- nimont stated that the apartment’s proximity to nearby playgrounds had been reviewed and noted that a pedestrian access point to Carter Rd. is available. He also confirmed that the apartment complex will meet all requirements for multi-family residential use once additional parking is added. Motion carried 7-0.
