The commission had its chance Monday to give feedback on the program after the May meeting was canceled because of the lack of quorum.In April, consultant SB Friedman outlined a proposed three-tier system through which regulatory “carrots” would be used to spur affordable housing construction.
Patrick Kelly, the Naperville City Council liaison to the commission, said some developments don’t go through a review process because they fall within the current zoning regulation and any city setback and height regulations. Anything that exceeds the parameters or fits a different zoning classification still would go through the regular Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council approval processes, he said.“There can be no change from a residential R-1/R-2 designation to a multifamily designation if this ordinance were passed as it is right now,” Kelly said.
Of course. People love the idea of low income housing, until it's next door! 'Those people should be poor... over there'.
