 SPEAKERS
 Vince Rosanova (Attorney for Petitioner, Bridge Street Properties) described the
 proposal of consolidating the properties into one buildable lot, demolishing the
 existing structures, and redeveloping the property with nine townhomes and four
 duplex units. Rosanova stated that approval of a conditional use and variances
 allowing the development to exceed the maximum permitted height and stories,
 decrease the required minimum lot area, reduce the required rear yard setback
 along the south property line and reduce the required front yard setback along
 4th Avenue is being requested.

 Marilyn L. Schweitzer spoke against the proposed development.
 Jayme Koller spoke against the proposed development.
 Tim Messer (East Central Homeowners Org) spoke against the proposed
 development.

 Rosanova rebutted the speakers and discussed height variance, that the
 property is a corner lot on a collector street, and that neighbors are in support of
 the project. He discussed density variance and that the development will serve
 as a buffer to residential to the south and commuters to the north, that it is
 located on the fringe of a neighborhood next to industrial zoned property, the
 minimal impact on the school district and traffic, and that an alternative refuse
 collection plan can be developed.

 Council discussed the mix of residential in the area and traffic.

 Laff explained the difference between townhome association and apartment
 garbage pick up processes.

 Council discussed having a developer invest in an area near train tracks is
 positive, stormwater, and the appropriateness of including the height variance.

 Novack explained that the development will meet all stormwater requirements.

 COMMENTS TO BE READ BY STAFF
 George Louis Ott
 I respectfully oppose any new marijuana businesses.

 Kenn Miller
 Thank you for this opportunity. My comments will take the form of questions: -
 What has caused the City Council to reconsider adding cannabis supply chain,
 since there seemed to be no interest in supply chain elements last summer
 when retail sales was discussed? - What Naperville value will be enhanced by
 adding cannabis supply chain? - Will Naperville soon replace the recognition as
 the best place to raise children, lowest property tax rate, top schools, etc. with
 the having the biggest marijuana market place in the suburbs? - Is this what this
City of Naperville Page 6 Printed on 1/25/2021
City Council Meeting Minutes January 5, 2021

 City Council wants as its legacy? Thank you.

 Joy L Grainge - Opt In Naperville
 I support expanding cannabis businesses in Naperville. I want you to vote in
 support of expanding these businesses

 Patrice Basso
 My concern is that there are documented complaints in other parts of the
 country (I read about California and Colorado) about odors from both cannabis
 processing organizations and infuser businesses. It is truly unfortunate that the
 city continues to investigate the expansion of cannabis businesses during the
 time of COVID. It was only in August that an ordinance was passed to limit such
 businesses to 3 dispensaries. I believe the city needs to be more transparent
 about what is going on. Not everyone has time to read through the city council
 agenda twice a month. Many others are "zoomed out" after working all day and
 helping children with their schoolwork. Some older people who may be
 interested in this topic don't have the technology to participate in these
 meetings. Please keep or change the amendments to allow for maximum public
 input. Thank you for your time.

 SPEAKERS
 Ashley Mathis spoke in favor of allowing ancillary cannabis businesses.
 Jim Haselhorst spoke in favor of allowing ancillary cannabis businesses.
 Jennifer Bruzan Taylor spoke against allowing ancillary cannabis businesses.

 Council discussed the cannabis ordinance, the need to stay competitive, that
 the state has not yet issued licenses for infusing businesses, and the
 appropriateness of being on the list when licenses are available. Council further
 discussed odor and smell, crime data, sales tax, transportation, title transfer
 rules, conditional use designation, and vehicle storage.

 DiSanto explained transportation, state licensing, and permitted uses.
 Council consensus was reached to include the following in an upcoming
 amendment to Title 6 (Zoning Ordinance) pertaining to cannabis facilities other
 than dispensaries and medical cultivation facilities: testing, transportation, and
 infusers (5-4).

5. Provide feedback regarding the residential approach proposed in the Land Use Master
 Plan update
 COMMENTS TO BE READ BY STAFF
 Steve Paul
 Hello, my name is Steve Paul, live at 375 Sherman Ave Was taking a look at the
 new Master Plan have few comments How would it be decided the character of
 the neighborhood hood hopefully the residents in a preset radius as if 2653-foot
 radius, not land developer, not people that do not live in neighborhood would
 determine the character of the neighborhood. Most people that buy homes
 check out area surrounding neighborhood to see what is in area. When you buy
 in a developed neighborhood that is zoned detached housing low density this is
 the kind of area you want to live in. Changing the zoning after the fact for a
 higher density or smaller lots is not a fair idea when you have already

City of Naperville Page 7 Printed on 1/25/2021
City Council Meeting Minutes January 5, 2021

 committed to buying or bought a house. You have done the research of the area
 before you made the decision to buy. If Naperville is in need of affordable
 housing take some of the undeveloped tracks of land in Naperville and build
 affordable housing and the buffer areas around it, seen in local paper last week
 of several areas working its way through zoning, did not see any reference
 about affordable housing in the article. Why existing zoning should be changed
 from low density in a neighborhood to high density after residents have invested
 in neighborhood, take undeveloped property and change that zoning. Why hurt
 the residents that have built up the neighborhoods. The residents in Naperville
 bought in their neighborhoods for several reasons, people have moved to
 Naperville because they like the neighborhoods, most like detached housing if
 they wanted attached housing they would have bought in attached housing
 neighborhood. We should not change zoning to make land developers happy
 and increase their profit margin. Before we change zoning in developed areas,
 we should consider the zoning in undeveloped tracts of land to meet the
 numbers across the board for housing after that is done then look at developed
 neighborhoods for zoning changes

 Jim Hill
 On behalf of all of the members of the Senior Task Force, and Naperville’s
 17,000 senior citizens, I want to express support for the proposed land use
 master plan as it is currently written. Seniors make up 12% of the city’s total
 population, and one of the biggest issues facing seniors in our city is the lack of
 affordable housing. The proposed plan provides only one residential place type
 in order to increase opportunities to achieve our desired housing goals. This
 sends a strong signal to housing developers that Naperville will be more flexible
 in neighborhoods where only single-family houses are allowed today, and will
 possibly allow duplexes, triplexes and even quadraplexes to be built. Many cities
 have taken similar steps to help address shortages of affordable housing.
 Minneapolis became the first large American city to end single-family zoning
 citywide. Buildings with up to three units can be built on any residential lot.
 Leaders hope this will add new units, create density and remedy segregation.
 New triplexes still have to follow the same height, setback and building
 requirements of single-family homes and duplexes. Many more cities and states
 are beginning to take action. Oregon adopted a measure this past summer
 legalizing duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, attached townhomes and cottage
 clusters in cities of more than 10,000 people. California recently adopted
 legislation that allows triplexes in much of the state. Virginia is considering
 legislation that would legalize duplex houses on all residential land throughout
 the state. Single family zoning has a disturbing origin. A hundred and twenty
 years ago, it was common for cities to have “whites only” zoning policies. When
 the Supreme Court struck down these policies in 1917, many local
 governments enacted single family only zoning ordinances. These delivered
 many of the same results, by a different means. They kept out most black
 people, and virtually all low-income people. The Supreme Court upheld this
 practice as legal. Economic segregation took the place of racial segregation.
 And recent research by Naper Settlement indicates that through much of the
 first half of the 1900s, Naperville likely was a “sundown town”. People of color
 would have been allowed to work in town during the day, but aggressively
 discouraged from living here-both through unwritten practice and restrictive real
 estate covenants. When the proposed land use plan was presented to the PZC,

City of Naperville Page 8 Printed on 1/25/2021
City Council Meeting Minutes January 5, 2021

 many people spoke out against it. They cited traffic concerns. Yet, since traffic
 comes with population growth, the only real questions are which area gets the
 traffic, how to better manage it, and how to encourage less driving. Pushing
 housing farther out from the city center, simply funnels more vehicles onto
 Route 59 and other rush-hour-nightmares. They cited lower property values. But
 evidence from around the country disproves that. I came here from Charlotte, a
 great example of this. The older Charlotte neighborhoods of Dilworth and Myers
 Park are close to downtown and are extremely sought after. Those
 neighborhoods are sprinkled with duplexes and small apartment houses, and
 older single-family homes routinely sell for over a million dollars. They cited
 neighborhood character, because no one likes change, and density conjures up
 images of something unpleasant, though it’s not entirely clear what is
 unpleasant about it. One Naperville resident actually wrote “the thought of
 having our area re-zoned to mixed residential and what that would bring into the
 neighborhood is very concerning”. As you ponder what people mean when they
 say it will damage the character of our neighborhoods, it’s worth remembering
 that single-family zoning arose a century ago in a clearly racist context. The city
 recently amended its mission statement to include creating an inclusive
 community that values diversity. Your support for this proposed plan is a great
 way to demonstrate your commitment to that mission.

 James Koller
 During 2019 and Early 2020, I participated in meetings related to the creation of
 a Comprehensive Master Plan (CMP) to guide zoning in Naperville. While much
 good work was done, I feel there are significant issues with the
 recommendations pertaining to residential zoning. While the CMP itself states
 that it is not intended to be regulatory, the road map is clear: The
 Comprehensive Master Plan is not regulatory; it does not alter or amend
 existing regulations; and it does not indicate a commitment to the described
 actions and recommendations within the document. Instead, the Plan is a policy
 guide that outlines recommendations that must be separately considered and
 acted upon. When city bodies, including the Planning and Zoning Committee
 and City Council, weigh zoning changes in the future they will certainly look to
 the CMP. Given the proposed changes at 4th and Ellsworth, Little Friends, Fifth
 Ave., Nokia, Wagner Farms and elsewhere, it is critically important to
 understand what is meant by transitional space, and how higher-density forms
 of housing will integrate with the existing neighborhoods. Taken at the most
 micro-level, 4th St is a transition from the BNSF tracks to the downtown area.
 Looking broader, the entirety of the Pilgrim’s Addition and Park Addition
 neighborhoods are transitional space from the Ogden Ave Corridor to the
 downtown area. What is the intention of the CMP in this regard? Are
 single-family homes no longer acceptable to the city from 4th St south to North
 Ave? Would that view extend to School St? Perhaps that view will extend from
 the BNSF line all the way to Ogden Ave. from Mill St to Columbia. The possibility
 that higher-density housing will be allowed to change the character of
 Naperville’s oldest, and most established neighborhoods is too great to ignore.
 Naperville surely needs more diverse housing options, from apartments and
 condos to townhouses and in-law units on existing home sites. This need
 however, cannot be allowed to dominate to the point of changing the character
 of the city. I therefore ask the Council to instruct staff to: 1. Remove the
 residential zoning change request from the Proposed Comprehensive Master

City of Naperville Page 9 Printed on 1/25/2021
City Council Meeting Minutes January 5, 2021

 Plan 2. Retain existing classes of residential zoning, to cover single-family,
 multi-family and high-density housing, with amendments for in-law units, tiny
 houses, and setbacks as appropriate. 3. Study concepts to turn under-used
 commercial space along the Ogden Ave and Rt 59 corridors into residential
 space. These recommendations are consistent with feedback given to City
 Staff by the PZC and the public at large during this process. Additionally, the
 Existing Land Use Map included on page four of the CMP contains several
 questionable categorizations, including: 1.NE corner of 7th & Center appears to
 be listed as public space, while it is currently single family detached. 2. Cress
 Creek Country Club and Naperville Country Club are listed as Parks/Open
 Space though they are clearly not open to the public. Thank you for the
 opportunity to comment on this important issue. Sincerely, James Koller

 SPEAKERS
 Marilyn L Schweitzer spoke in favor of Option 1.
 Jayme Koller spoke against proposed changes.
 Tim Messer (East Central Homeowners Org.) spoke against proposed
 changes.

 The meeting recessed from 9:05 p.m. - 9:10 p.m.

 Council discussed the appropriateness of altering the master plan with few
 properties left, reviewed the workshop on the master plan, definitions, flexibility,
 previous actions related to Little Friends and 4th & Loomis properties,
 affordability, and the need to get input from the Planning and Zoning
 Commission (PZC).

 Laff discussed a hybrid plan, which allows for greater housing diversity while
 also providing stronger assurances that the existing character of a
 neighborhood is maintained, that included the following: maintain the existing
 low-density, medium-density, and high-density residential future land use
 designations within existing residential areas, seek to achieve additional housing
 diversity through the ten key development sites identified in the plan, continue to
 include recommendations that additional housing options be introduced in
 commercial areas, continue to include recommendations in the plan to initiate a
 zoning amendment to accommodate new residential uses, focus efforts to
 achieve affordability through the creation of an IZO.

 Krieger said staff will review Council comments and work with the PZC. He
 clarified that the plan will go to PZC for review and input before coming back to
 the Council.

6. Option 1: Approve the proposed Affordable Housing Work Plan for priority Action Items 3
 and 6, direct staff to begin work on an Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance (IZO), and delay
 work on Action Items 1 and 2 until after completion of the IZO

 Option 2: Approve the proposed Affordable Housing Work Plan for priority Action Items 1,
 2, 3 and 6 and do not direct staff to begin work on an Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance (IZO)

 After reading the takeaways of the Affordable Housing Workshop, I must say
 that I am underwhelmed with most of the responses from the City Council.
 There seems to be a lot of stalling tactics going on. I'm not too sure about
 Councilman Hinterlong's comment about "wanting affordable housing outside
 city limits" . There doesn't seem to be much support or interest" and seems to
 fit the majority of the City Council except for Kelly, Coyne and Kreiger. I think the
 "next steps" outline by the Dupage Housing Alliance is excellent. I have a few
 questions and comments: Has a Housing Stock Appraisal been done? Please
 note that housing units for low-income residents have virtually no impact on
 surrounding property values. Is there AHPAA (Affordable Housing Planning and
 Appeals Act) compliance which requires communities to have a MINIMUM
 affordable housing share of 10%? Has the Council discussed an Affordable
 Housing Plan (AHP)? The AHP enables member institutions to partner with
 for-and not-for-profit developers and community organizers. By law, each FHL
 (Federal Home Loan) must establish an AHP and must contribute 10% of its
 earnings to its AHP.

 I would like more affordable housing in Naperville.

 Sameeha Afrulbasha
 Considering the Affordable Housing Work Plan including the Inclusionary Zoning
 Ordinance is a large project, how much is projected to be spent on this project
 and how much will it impact Naperville's total budget including the money that
 could be further spent on the COVID-19 situation

 Phil Meno
 If City Gate West getting through the Planning and Zoning Commission without
 ANY of the 410 proposed residential units being affordable under state
 guidelines does not convince this Council that voluntary inclusion of affordability
 by developers in large developments is a totally unreasonable expectation, I am
 not sure what will. Staff, and P&Z, need the guidance an Inclusionary Zoning
 Ordinance would provide to make sure that affordability is "in the room" at the
 kickoff meeting Staff has with any sizable development coming before it. I
 encourage the Council to select Option 1 tonight and get the ball rolling on
 finding an IZO that will work for Naperville and help it proactively address its
 affordable housing shortage.

 Jim Hill
 On behalf of all of the members of the Senior Task Force, and Naperville’s
 17,000 senior citizens, I want to express support for Option 1 of this agenda
 item. These current residents, as well as seniors who want to move here to be
 close to children and grandchildren, struggle to find housing in Naperville that
 fits within their budget, is close to shopping, dining and entertainment, and
 offers single story living. Naperville simply does not have enough housing that is
 affordable and suitable for seniors. I urge you to vote for Option 1, which
 includes directing staff to begin work on an Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance. This
 is an essential component of a comprehensive affordable housing strategy for
 the city.

 On December 26th, the Daily Herald published a prominent article regarding
 new affordable housing in Wheeling, Illinois. What first got my attention were
 two phrases you seldom see together: "rave reviews" and "affordable housing."
 The proposal calls for a 53-unit apartment building near Wheeling's Metra
 station designed by a Wisconsin-based company, General Capital Group.
 Wheeling trustees especially liked the building design, which the developers
 compared to "farm-house-style architecture." Rents ranged from $$425 per
 month for a 1 bedroom to $$1700 for a 3 bedroom. As a former member of the
 Fair Housing Commission from 2006-2008, it would be awesome if we could
 finally move forward on this issue.

 Kristen Tang- DuPage Unitarian Universalist Church
 My name is Kristen Tang. I am a Naperville resident and member of the
 Accessibility and Inclusion Ministry at DuPage Unitarian Universalist Church in
 Naperville. I fully support making Naperville a more welcoming and inclusive
 community for essential workers, seniors, and people with disabilities. Having
 enough affordable and accessible housing is key to making this ideal a reality.
 Whichever recommendations the Council votes to implement tonight, I ask that
 you do not lose sight of your goal to be in compliance with the State of Illinois
 Affordable Housing Plan and Appeal Act by having at least 10% of housing be
 affordable. Please continue to be bold in the actions you take to secure
 affordable housing for our community. Thank you.

 Donald A Heller
 I have read reports of criminal activities within Naperville for the year 2020 in the
 City's own web site. I note that violent crimes (murder, armed robbery,
 discharge of firearms within residential buildings) have almost exclusively
 occurred within or near apartment complexes, and that persons involved reside
 in Chicago, Maywood, or other locations in inner Cook County. Whether a
 related incident or not, approximately one month ago at 9:10 pm I heard six
 shots fired from a heavy caliber weapon. I later learned on your web site that the
 shots were fired into a residence and vehicle in the townhouse complex
 adjacent to my neighborhood! I have lived in Naperville for 22 years and I am
 alarmed about the escalating reports of assaults and gun violence within our
 own City. I am not opposed to providing economic opportunities for honest hard
 working people who wish to escape violent impoverished environments;
 however the Mayor and Council need to be aware of collateral criminal activities
 presented by acquaintances (girlfriends/boyfriends, "buddies" , etc.) who
 perceive Naperville as another location for theft or acts of racial anger. I charge
 the Council to bear in mind their duties to ensure the safety and well-being of
 their constituents and the fine infrastructure which is financed by our tax money.
 For these reasons I do not favor any ambitious expansion of IZOs. Thank you.

 Brian Palm
 Hello City Council, my name is Brian Palm and I have the pleasure of serving on
 the Housing Advisory Commission which is now the Human Rights and Fair
 Housing Commission. I want to applaud the City Council for the change to the
 commission and I would like to voice my personal support for option 2 on
 tonight's agenda. My support for option 2 comes from my long experience and
 expertise in the real estate industry and because Option 2 allows the city to deal
 with items that would have the quickest and highest positive impact on the city.

City Council Meeting Minutes January 5, 2021

 While option 1 would delay the items in favor of investing time and taxpayer
 dollars into looking into inclusionary zoning that may or may not get done down
 the road. If the city is going to invest time and taxpayer dollars let us invest more
 into item 6 of the HAC recommendations that would assist those current
 Naperville residents who need help now over those that may or may not move in
 at a later time. In addition, if the city feels that it needs more affordable housing
 Item 1, which is working with developers of affordable housing, will get the same
 if not a better result than an IZO. Thank you for your service to the community.
 Yours in service, Brian Palm

 Gary D. Smith
 Good evening, my name is Gary D. Smith and I am the Chair of the Naperville
 Accessible Community Task Force. It was put forward by the Council via a
 workshop that action items 1, 2, 3 and 6 be the priority items to address. An
 agenda item on a subsequent Council meeting to vote on proceeding with
 action items 1,2,3 and 6 was tabled due to time restraints. To my surprise
 instead of revisiting the original agenda item that was tabled (voting on items
 1,2,3 and 6) two new options are being presented to vote on this evening..
 Basically the Council is being asked by staff to either vote for Option 2 to keep
 the original agenda item to proceed with items 1,2,3 and 6 with the added
 stipulation that Council does not direct staff to proceed with item 8, (the
 Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance) or to vote for Option 1 which would proceed only
 with items 1 and 2 but would allow for staff to begin work on the Inclusionary
 Zoning Ordinance. The Task Force would support option 2 if the language
 regarding not directing staff to proceed with the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance
 was removed. It seems reasonable to remove that language as the city passed
 a 2021 budget that includes $$25,000 for a consultant to work on the
 Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance. If that language is not able to be removed then
 the Task Force supports the adoption of Option 1. In either scenario we also
 ask that item 6, as we have at previous council meetings, be amended to
 include people with disabilities as a target group eligible for the revolving
 rehabilitation loan fund. Thank you for your consideration of these important
 issues.

 POSITION STATEMENTS
 Attached

 Laff explained that the Chamber of Commercie is assembling a task force, that
 staff will ensure it is informed as the process moves forward, and that an IZO
 will define many terms including affordable/attainable.

 Council discussed an IZO process timeline, that the Chamber of Commerce
 will participate, that community stakeholders will need to be included, that an
 IZO will accomplish the goal of addressing affordable housing, that no tangible
 outcomes have come from previous efforts, and the appropriateness of
 encouraging affordable housing as a component of development. Council went
 on to discuss that some municipalities have drafted ordinances that have shut
 down development, that the stakeholder process will be long and significant,
 and that staff should be directed to start the process.
