Commissioner Sand asked how the facility might tie into the low barrier housing discussion regarding the availability and accessibility of services to the housing residents. Mr. Giffen responded that the City does intend to have that discussion. The request for the change in the City's land use regulations came out of the Community Streets Initiative. The intent would be to look at the request more comprehensively. Commissioner Adams stated that he would like to hear from Julie Frauenholtz in future meetings.
