 WRITTEN COMMENT ONLY

 Steven Cushman (Naperville) I oppose this proposed Affordable Housing
 ordinance as it gives developers variance “by right” which obstructs
 transparency. I also ask for who is responsible for instructing city staff to draft a
 proposed ordinance that bypasses valid objections.

City Council Meeting Minutes - Final November 19, 2024



 Mary Hamill (Naperville) - Naperville Accessible Community Task Force (ACTF)
 This past July, the Naperville City Council proclaimed July 2024 as Disability
 Pride Month and this year also marks the 34th anniversary of the Americans
 with Disabilities Act, a comprehensive civil rights law for persons with
 disabilities. In the July 1st, 2022, press release marking these events from the
 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, stated that “quality,
 accessible, and affordable housing is vital to fulfilling the civil rights of
 individuals with disabilities.” Tonight, this City Council will vote on whether to
 amend to the Naperville Municipal Code to add an Affordable Housing Incentive
 Program (AHIP). The ACTF urges the City Council to support AHIP to increase
 quality, accessible and affordable housing to persons with disabilities.

 Larry Drummond (Naperville) Letter to City Council for Meeting 11-19-24 Dear
 Councilmen and Councilwomen: Having read the AHIP proposal I fully support it
 for the following reasons: 1. As the SB Friedman study shows, there is clearly a
 need for more affordable housing in Naperville. 2. I personally see this
 increasing need in my efforts to assist homeless families as a volunteer with
 non-profits including Bridge Communities, Habitat for Humanity, and others. 3.
 A friend of mine is the Director of Outreach and Social Justice at a large
 Catholic parish in Naperville. She reports that in her role she receives an
 increasing number of calls from struggling families seeking ideas for housing
 they can afford. 4. The voluntary approach with by-right stability provided the
 developer appears reasonable, realistic and inherently pragmatic. 5. This
 proposal has received thorough review and careful consideration, with
 appropriate modifications made to address points raised by numerous
 stakeholders. 6. We are, by all measures and numerous magazine ratings, an
 extremely desirable and caring community - with resources and enhanced
 services available for citizens with a variety of unique needs. We are not,
 however, an affordable community to those with modest incomes. 7. We are
 nearing the time when a developer, with certain special incentives, will be
 motivated to construct affordable apartments in our city, and it seems wise and
 take advantage of this willingness as a welcomed and substantial step in the
 right direction. I would be happy to address any questions from Council
 members. Thank you for your consideration.

 Ron Clewer (Rockford) Dear Council Members,
 I regret that I cannot be with you this evening; however, I am at AHF Live, the
 nations’ largest conference for affordable housing finance (AHF) gathering,
 working to finalize the capital stack for Tower Court Residences. Please allow
 this to serve as my comments for your consideration on the approval of the
 AHIP Ordinance. I encourage you to approve it for the following myriad of
 reasons. Affordable housing is a workforce problem. It not only hurts
 municipalities when police, fire, and teachers cannot live in the community they
 support, but also hospital and hospitality workers who cannot live near work
 because they cannot afford to. A few weeks ago, you heard from Troy and his
 friends who spoke to you before our Tower Court vote. He too discussed the
 value of his work and his need to stay in Naperville. It was moving. In that same
 meeting, I stayed to hear the discussion on AHIP. I believe in that meeting it
 was stated five affordable housing developments have been recently approved.

City of Naperville Page 8 Printed on 12/4/2024
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final November 19, 2024

 I commend you for approving ours and these others, as we all know, five is not
 enough. The only challenge I see in their passage, is that I believe these five
 are all stand alone affordable, meaning they serve only affordable needs and do
 not have market rate units in them. They are in essence then separate from
 most of the Naperville population who are in unsubsidized market rate units -
 both for sale and for rent. Having watched it mature, the AHIP ordinance was
 given a great deal of thought by the leadership and citizens of Naperville to
 ensure that not only was affordable housing made a priority, but it ensured that
 affordable housing units were blended with market rate units vs. segregated
 from market rate housing. As a resident of Rockford, Illinois, I am professionally
 envious of your leadership to advance this ordinance and wish my own elected
 officials at home had such concern for all its residents. I am also impressed by
 the content of the ordinance that recognizes Naperville zoning and land use
 code add costs to development and that in exchange for an affordable housing
 commitment in new developments, the city will provide waivers that bring down
 the cost of construction so that some number of units will be set aside for
 affordable housing units. I say “some number” intentionally as that is a
 determination by the developer and city staff and drives those incentives. While
 market rate developers do not generally like inclusionary zoning because they
 do not understand the 15-year affordability commitments, affordable housing
 developers do like the requirement. Further, as a former market rate only
 developer, we tend to bemoan changes to our modus operandi. If there are
 concerns about market rate developers and builders leaving the market, please
 keep in mind they have the option to opt in or not, and in the event they do not,
 they will build under the same terms and conditions they have been. What you
 should see is an increase in developer interest and activity by affordable
 housing developers who want to add market rate units into their portfolio and
 leverage added affordable units in the process. In my role as a mixed-housing
 developer, these incentives are important to developers who are not using the
 low-income housing tax credit as we are in our Tower Court development.
 These tools are highly competitive and do not often get allocated to
 communities in a repeated fashion, at least not often enough to be the only tool
 a community can utilize to solve its affordable housing needs. The AHIP would
 allow me, as an example, as an affordable housing developer to build a mixed
 income development with both market rate and affordable units side by side and
 do so with zoning considerations that are more aligned with current housing
 development needs. This would allow us to build more units for individuals with
 Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities without having to compete for those
 tax credits that were instrumental in launching the Tower Court project. It would
 allow more residents like Troy to live independently, alongside other residents
 who get up and go to work just like he does. It would allow Naperville to ensure
 all its workforce has attainable housing. The added value the AHIP brought
 Naperville was the safety of dropping off the State’s non-exempt Illinois Housing
 Development Authority list of communities failing to meet at least a ten percent
 affordable housing factor. It was this designation under the Affordable Housing
 Planning and Appeal Act of 2003 that kept Naperville on the list until last year,
 and the city fell off the list largely because Naperville was making progress in
 the AHIP ordinance. Failure to pass the ordinance could put Naperville back on
 that list and starting the planning process over again. Worse, it could be viewed
 as action that does not follow the Federal Affirmatively Further Fair Housing Act,
 where actions taken by a municipality fall to the scale of unjust, or depending on

City Council Meeting Minutes - Final November 19, 2024

 an analyst’s interpretation, hostile to efforts to advance affordable housing. As a
 resident of Rockford, a community who in 2016 found itself in the crosshairs of
 the federal government, specifically the Department of Housing and Urban
 Development (HUD), and subject to fair housing and civil rights violation
 litigation, over an affordable housing vote, the city in exchange for no admission
 of guilt had to enter into a voluntary compliance agreement to advance
 affordable housing. As a resident of Rockford, and a developer who was mired
 in that litigation, the actions under the federal threat became national headlines
 stating my community was not affordable housing friendly and classist, among
 other claims that hurt our residents and further hurt our already struggling
 reputation. While Gorman was able to build that development, I feel there were
 no winners because of the rhetoric during that litigation. City staff, and you as
 elected officials, including those that came before you, have worked hard to get
 off the State of Illinois list; however, you have worked harder to ensure
 residents who work and play in Naperville, can live in Naperville. The AHIP
 ordinance is another tool that can allow this to happen and the AHIP will not
 cause development to stall. As a reminder, while the rest of the nation,
 especially Illinois cities struggle to spur residential development to address the
 housing crisis, Naperville has continued to build. A November 2023 Chicago
 Tribune story reported, “Between 2020 and the end of October this year, the city
 has issued 718 permits for single-family homes, 31 for condos/apartments and
 232 for townhomes, according to Laff. Condo/apartment and townhome permit
 data reflect permits issued for overall buildings and do not indicate the total
 number of units located within those buildings,” Allison Laff, deputy director of
 the city’s Transportation, Engineering and Development. Monthly building permit
 data from the City of Naperville website shows permit activity has remained
 steady, even elevated. To put that into perspective, the City of Rockford issued
 24 permits this year through October and that is twice as many as last year.
 Bold leadership that considers all residents of its community in its legislation
 makes a difference and it backs up these words quoted by Councilman White in
 that same November 2023 article, “Housing is a sustainability issue.” “In order
 to sustain a community, we need to have housing choices for everyone. This
 goes to accomplishing that,” he said. Naperville often is referred to as the
 greatest city in America, and that is based on the outstanding teachers, police
 officers and firefighters who work in the city, White said. But they do not live in
 Naperville because they cannot afford to live in the town where they work. This
 ordinance will change that, he said. I hope you move to support the AHIP
 ordinance and pass it this evening. Your citizens deserve closure on this issue
 and recognition for all your hard work.

 Virginia Terlep (Naperville) - Families Helping Families I grew up in Naperville,
 and ever since the 1960s my family has championed Affordable Housing in
 Naperville, yet to date, Naperville has fallen short. Please pass the AHIP
 ordinance and add to Naperville's already outstanding accolades as one of the
 best places to live in the United States. Thank you.

 Peggy Goralski (Naperville) - St. Thomas the Apostle Church and Housing
 Alliance To Mayor Wherli, City Council Members, My name is Peggy Goralski. I
 am the Director of Outreach and Social Justice at St. Thomas the Apostle
 Church in Naperville. I have also lived in Naperville since 1983. I urge you to
 vote Yes on the Affordable Housing Incentive Program or AHIP Ordinance

City of Naperville Page 10 Printed on 12/4/2024
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final November 19, 2024

 tonight to address the lack of affordable housing in Naperville. AHIP creates a
 voluntary, opt-in process for developers to choose from a by-right menu of
 incentives that commit to set aside 10-20% of their proposed housing units as
 affordable. Through AHIP, a developer cannot develop properties zoned for
 single-family homes and must work with a City Staff Member to find the right
 balance of affordable units and incentives. In my position at St. Thomas, I am
 responsible for distributing the funds that our parishioners have donated to
 assist those in need. Each week, and sometimes multiple times a day,
 Naperville residents come to us seeking help with rent. These people are at all
 stages of life…seniors, single moms, young couples, and families. In the
 12-month period from November 1, 2023 through October 31, 2024, St.
 Thomas assisted 92 families with rent. This does not include those families we
 turned away and those individuals and families who came seeking a motel stay
 voucher because they are homeless and are trying to piece together some type
 of existence. I was especially moved by a request for a motel stay from a
 woman who had just given birth and was being discharged from the hospital to
 a motel room with her new infant. It should be noted St. Thomas accepts
 requests for assistance from those living within our parish boundaries (only a
 small portion of the city). The lack of affordable housing is something which
 effects all parts of Naperville and is much bigger than the St. Thomas numbers
 show. I regularly see the need for affordable housing in Naperville and urge you
 to vote Yes on the Affordable Housing Incentive Program or AHIP Ordinance
 tonight.

 Dee Huie (Naperville) To Mayor Wherli, and City Council Members, As a 40
 year resident of Naperville, I urge you to vote Yes on the Affordable Housing
 Incentive Program Ordinance on November 19th to address the lack of
 affordable housing in Naperville. AHIP is a voluntary program that came before
 Naperville city council in January 2023 after much work by JB Friedman, a
 consultant hired by the city, developers and council. After much study,
 discussion, and compromise, AHIP came before the council for consideration
 where a vote of 9 to 0 sent it to staff to be written. Among the compromises that
 were put in place were that AHIP could not be used in areas of Naperville zoned
 for single-family homes alleviating concerns for some residents. Increasing the
 amount of affordable housing in Naperville is important to me because having
 worked with transitional housing programs in the past, I have seen how hard it
 is for families having completed the program to face moving from Naperville
 because they can’t afford to stay. Also as I was leaving Edward Hospital at
 11pm at night after my husband had surgery, I encountered a very tired nurse
 who had a 30+ minute drive home. Naperville was not affordable on her salary, I
 urge you to vote Yes on the Affordable Housing Incentive Program or AHIP
 Ordinance tonight so everyone can have an affordable place to live in
 Naperville. Thank you.

 Mary Beth Nagai (Naperville) To Mayor Wehrli and City Council Members, My
 name is Mary Beth Nagai, and I am 25-year resident of Naperville. I urge you to
 vote Yes on the Affordable Housing Incentive Program or AHIP Ordinance
 tonight to address the lack of affordable housing in Naperville. It's not just the
 young adults with IDD who are living at home and want an affordable,
 independent living arrangement. I have a recent college graduate working in
 Naperville and living at home because rent is more than 30% of her income. It’s

City of Naperville Page 11 Printed on 12/4/2024
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final November 19, 2024

 unhelpful to point to the microunits as “affordable housing” when a 433 sq foot
 studio is renting for over $$1400 a month. We are a community whose school
 district and hospital have received numerous accolades on “Best of” lists, but
 employees starting careers in those fields cannot afford to live here. That’s an
 ugly reality for a community to acknowledge as it steps up to accept accolades
 based on those employees’ hard work.The issue of affordable housing has
 generated numerous headlines nationwide over the last year and there is no
 sign of the issue abating. Voting Yes to the Affordable Housing Incentive
 Program or AHIP Ordinance tonight makes Naperville a leader in
 acknowledging we have a problem, and we have a solution to make Naperville
 an affordable place to live. Thank you.

 Anne Schultz (Naperville) DuPage Housing Alliance
 My name is Anne Schultz. I am a member of the DuPage Housing Alliance and
 a 43 year resident of Naperville. I am in full support of the Affordable Housing
 Incentive Program or AHIP Ordinance, which addresses the lack of affordable
 housing in Naperville. The program is voluntary and gives developers an
 opportunity to provide affordable housing units in our city. Units that could be
 made available to many subsets of our population, including seniors, essential
 workers, those with developmental disabilities, and veterans. Any units or
 building projects that are proposed through this ordinance would be vetted
 through the Planning and Zoning and City Council oversights already in place.
 Through this program, developers who commit to set aside a portion (generally
 10-20%) of their proposed units as affordable are provided opportunities for
 incentives. Properties zoned for single family homes are not eligible for the
 AHIP program. I urge you to vote Yes on the AHIP Ordinance so that Naperville
 has a mechanism on its books to provide for affordable housing.

 Catherine Clarkin (Naperville) Naperville Environment and Sustainability Task
 Force (NEST) Sustainability can be defined as leaving the same opportunities
 and resources to future generations that we enjoy today. It has also been
 described as a three legged stool, representing the environment, the economy,
 and the society. As the Naperville Environment and Sustainability Task Force
 (NEST), you often hear us address environmental protection and climate
 change, but more broadly, creating a more sustainable community is at the
 heart of what we do. Therefore, NEST supports expanding access to affordable
 housing, and transit- and pedestrian-centered development at 5th Avenue. A
 community that cannot house young families or senior citizens on a fixed
 income is not sustainable. Lack of affordable housing disproportionately impacts
 people of color (www.fanniemae.com/about-us/sustainable-communities). A
 strong, sustainable community values diversity and provides opportunity for all
 community members. The Affordable Housing Incentive Program (AHIP)
 Ordinance, a voluntary program, is the minimum that the city can do to improve
 access to housing. NEST supports passage of this ordinance. NEST also
 supports housing and mixed-use development at 5th Avenue. This location will
 promote the use of public transportation and is pedestrian-friendly, with walking
 access to both downtown and shops on Ogden. Walkable neighborhoods are
 vibrant and healthy and should be the focus of any development in Naperville.
 Creating more density in areas that are walkable and have access to transit
 reduces car use, bringing benefits in terms of reduced air pollution and carbon
 emissions. As City Council and staff consider development at 5th Avenue, there

City of Naperville Page 12 Printed on 12/4/2024
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final November 19, 2024

 are many ways to make this project more sustainable, benefiting the residents
 and surrounding neighborhood: 1. Ensure buildings are constructed to meet
 high standards of energy efficiency. A minimal up-front investment will pay off
 for residents in savings on utility bills
 (www.energy.gov/eere/energy-efficiency-buildings-and-industry and
 energyefficiencyimpact.org/dashboard/) 2. Building electrification with no natural
 gas connection should also be considered. According to RMI, all-electric single
 family homes can be cheaper both from a capital investment and operational
 costs standpoint. Because electric appliances are significantly more efficient
 than natural gas appliances, they also reduce carbon emissions, and as a
 co-benefit, improve indoor air quality and safety
 (rmi.org/insight/the-economics-of-electrifying-buildings-residential-new-construct
 ion/). These same benefits are to be expected in commercial and multi-family
 buildings. 3. Solar is an investment that will provide a return to property owners.
 At a minimum, all properties should be solar-ready, meaning rooflines should
 not be overly complicated, precluding solar as an option in the future. 4. With
 electric vehicle adoption on the rise and US automakers committing to scale-up
 EV manufacturing, all new construction should include EV charging, or at a
 minimum EV readiness. These measures are less expensive at the time of
 construction and will save the cost of expensive retrofits. 5. Planning should not
 be solely automobile-focused, but should center the needs of cyclists and
 pedestrians. Thank you. NEST can be reached via sustainnaperville.org.

 Paulette Irene Pekala (Naperville) Transitional Housing, St. Thomas the Apostle
 Reasons Pro: It's the right thing to do for people trying to be in our community
 including recent graduates, seniors and others making lower wages. We need

3. Accept the Urban Land Institute Technical Assistance Panel (ULI TAP) application
 prepared for the 5th Avenue Study Area and reach consensus regarding the questions
 that the ULI expert panel should answer as part of this project
 SPEAKERS

 Marilyn Schweitzer (Naperville) stated to better serve the community the
 application the City will be submitting to the ULI panel needs to explain the
 relationship of the parcels with respect to all of Naperville, unlike the Water
 Street District the 5th Avenue parcels are adjacent to everything but the
 downtown, there are several things not to be overlooked such as infrastructure
 impacts, cyclists, pedestrians and traffic and public transportation, vehicles and
 pedestrian routes serve not only commuters but also schools, parking should be
 considered pre pandemic and after the pandemic not just the average midweek
 numbers, requested an explanation who the stakeholders will be and if the ULI
 application will include letters in support beyond those of the Council, the 2017
 study area map conflicts with the 2022 land use plan and omits some adjacent
 City owned properties, if Kendall and Burlington Parks are included in the plan it
 should be clear that park spaces must not be reduced if the train station is
 excluded from the study area and should be removed from the discussion, if
 private and multi family housing at 536 E. 5th Avenue are included the owners
 should be made aware and suggestions were given for which questions should
 be asked by ULI and how sections could be combined for better results.

 Jeffrey Havel (Naperville) supports the new direction the City is taking with the
 5th Avenue Study and suggests the development needs to be reevaluated and
 fit the existing neighborhood.


 By consensus Council directed staff to include the following questions the ULI
 panel should answer as part of this project:

 A. Development Strategy
 What is the most effective way to move forward with a redevelopment strategy
 for the non-transit uses on the site? For example, should parcels be offered
 separately or as one master lease/sale? Is the City recommended to sell or
 lease and is there a recommended order for redevelopment to occur?

 B. Land Use and Development
 Other than new housing opportunities, what are the highest and best uses of
 the study area, or each sub portion of the study area?

 C. Housing
 How can new development on the site address Naperville’s known housing
 gaps, including missing middle, attainable and affordable housing, while
 meeting private development interests?

 D. Community Benefit
 What amenities and design features should be incorporated into the new

City of Naperville Page 15 Printed on 12/4/2024
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final November 19, 2024

 development to maintain and enhance the neighborhood’s unique character,
 and how can the study area provide additional or improved community
 amenities, including gathering spaces and event spaces?

 E. Transit-Related
 How can the study area be redeveloped to function as a Transit Oriented
 Development and what are the best practices for developing around transit
 centers? How can this redevelopment encourage regular transit users to
 occupy any new residential units, thereby decreasing overall on-site parking
 demand?

 WRITTEN COMMENT ONLY
 Chris Strom (Naperville) Dear Naperville City Council Members, I am writing to
 express my strong support for the proposed redevelopment of 5th Avenue in
 Naperville. This project represents a unique opportunity to build upon the
 City’s reputation as a thriving economic powerhouse and a model for
 community-oriented growth. By moving forward with this redevelopment,
 Naperville can continue to attract investment, enhance quality of life for its
 residents, and solidify its standing as a leader in innovation and progress. Few
 opportunities arise with the potential to make such a transformative impact as
 the proposed 5th Avenue development. This area holds significant promise to
 further diversify Naperville’s economic base, attract businesses, and create
 vibrant spaces that bring residents and visitors
 together. The proposed development aligns with Naperville’s tradition of
 thoughtful planning and bold action, ensuring that the city remains not only
 competitive but also a beacon of economic and social vitality in the region. I
 encourage the City Council to fully embrace this moment and capitalize on
 this rare chance to redefine one of Naperville’s key corridors. The
 redevelopment of 5th Avenue is not merely a project-it is an investment in our
 city’s future, one that will yield benefits for generations to come. I urge the City
 to act with vision and purpose in pursuing this opportunity. Thank you for your
 leadership and dedication to our community. I appreciate your consideration
 of my perspective and look forward to seeing this transformative project come
 to fruition.

 Tim Messer (Naperville) While I am a member of the board of directors of the
 East Central Homeowners Organization, my comments are my own and
 neither those of ECHO nor any other board or group of which I am a member.
 The Downtown2030 Plan specifically omits the area surrounding the
 Naperville train station, as it is not part of downtown Naperville. The ULI TAP
 application Study Area Synopsis specifically and accurately notes that the
 train station is not in downtown Naperville, but in fact is located just north of
 downtown. Yet in the questions for consideration, Section E refers to the train
 station as the “Downtown Naperville train station.” Can we be consistent and
 agree that the train station is not in downtown? One of the questions asks, in
 part: “How can the study area be redeveloped to function as a Transit
 Oriented Development?” I would argue that it will be difficult to redevelop this
 definitively suburban area into a true transit-oriented development-that is, one
 which discourages car ownership and is truly pedestrian-friendly, with
 narrower streets, less on-street parking, and appropriate traffic-calming

City of Naperville Page 16 Printed on 12/4/2024
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final November 19, 2024

 measures. 5th Avenue is still often treated as a 35-40mph cut-through
 between Washington Street and Plank Road, with crosswalks that lack
 adequate visibility and are often too dangerous to be safely used at night. The
 residents of the surrounding area await what comes next for this project.
 Personally, I hope to see something that will benefit the entire community,
 including the immediate neighbors, and not just leave us looking at whatever
 is foisted upon us by rent-seeking developers. Thanks for your time.


P. NEW BUSINESS:
 ADA access to the Municipal Center during inclement weather.
 White inquired about the ADA accommodations in place at the Municipal
 Center during inclement weather, if a member of the public could access the
 building from the lower level parking deck and if additional ADA measures
 could be reviewed in the future.

 Krieger stated there are ADA accessible spots available in the upper parking
 lot along with a ramp just southeast of the main entrance and one additional
 ADA spot was added to the circle drive two years ago. Individuals with ADA
 concerns could park in the lower level and call the individual they are meeting
 and that person could come down to the parking lot and provide access to the
 building. Staff is researching additional ADA enhancements in the near future.

Q. ADJOURNMENT:
 A motion was made by Councilman White, seconded by Councilman Kelly, to
 adjourn the Regular City Council Meeting of November 19, 2024 at 8:45 p.m. The
 motion carried by a voice vote.
