REDEVELO MENT COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES NOVEMBER 4, 1977 PAGE NIN 6. NEW BUSINESS (CONT'D) pla is` developed along two goals recognizing the need of peripheral dev lopments downtown. Consequently, two tracts were designated for elderly housing with a numerical goal of 211 units. We also rec gnize the need for the location of lower income people and so any development that would tend to do that then is consistent. We boil it down to this particular situation where two good deVE lopments are proposed and both are consistent with the housing system point. The city administration is not particularly promoting one or the other, in fact we talked to Mr. Brademas in detail about the possibility of tying in with Harbor homes where there was another zoning problem. The reason we talked to Mr. Brademas about that was because of his consistence with business of the deconcentration of lower income people and rearranging the choice of location of housing. Consistently the city has said we need more units available, we need more units for small and large families and we have said that particularly for the elderly we would prefer downtown location. However, we would not object to a development opportunity in the outlaying areas if it is a consistent deconcentrating housing idea. In a nut shell the City administration has pushed neither quietly with HUD or publicly for that matter. We have said to HUD that we don't object to either if either developer can clear the zoning hurdles and et HUD's approval. The hair will direct this letter be received and placed on file with no 4rther action necessary. 7. The next Commission meeting was announced to be November 18, 1977 at 1D:00 a.m. 8.
