B. INTRODUCTION:

C. PUBLIC FORUM:

 Phil Meno, DuPage Housing Alliance, voiced support of an IZO and looks
 forward to a full Council discussion tonight on the topic and future work to be
 prepared by SB Friedman.

 Phillip Buchanan apologized to Councilwoman Brodhead for some comments
 made by the City Council during the June 15th meeting regarding her
 appointment to a new City commission.

 Paul DeKruiff, resident and apartment developer, noted concerns that the scope
 did not include or contemplate all of the original recommendations or research
 new trends nationally. He stated the burden of affordable housing should be
 shared across the City, not on an individual developer.




D. PRESENTATION:

1. Receive the report and presentation by SB Friedman regarding the development of an
 Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance
 WRITTEN COMMENTS
 Kristen Tang - The Accessibility and Inclusion Ministry at DuPage Unitarian
 Universalist Church in Naperville
 Thank you to the City Council for continuing to study and consider ways to bring
 more affordable housing to Naperville. Whatever you decide on Inclusionary
 Zoning, please remember the goal is to have a more welcoming and inclusive
 Naperville where essential workers, seniors, and people with disabilities can find
 affordable and accessible places to live.

 Marilyn Schweitzer
 I agree Naperville has extremely unbalanced housing, but much of this has been
 caused by ignoring the needs of those who work and live in Naperville already. I
 want change, but not just to satisfy a legal metric and developers. • Residents, I
 believe, want certainty too. Certainty that they can find the housing they need
 and want without having to move out of Naperville. They also want certainty in
 what will be built in their neighborhood. Yet, the IZO presentation material sets

City of Naperville Page 3 Printed on 11/3/2021
City Council Meeting Minutes June 21, 2021

 the stage to leave neighborhood concerns out of the equation. Yes, they’ll be
 able to speak up at a HAC, PZC or CC meeting, but their concerns will be
 ignored because the IZO will have been crafted to please the City Council, Staff,
 and Developers. • I wholeheartedly agree with the statement that the best
 practice is for affordable units should reflect the community's needs, but a
 community needs is not simply a statistical analysis of affordability. And
 Community needs include providing environmentally sustainable homes and
 healthy life styles. For example, physically density must include sufficient
 adjacent green buffers, complete streets, and ensuring all residents have ample
 (not overloaded or unusable) park space within 1/2 mile of their home. • If there
 is an IZO, how will its effectiveness be measured? The past practice of
 attracting people to move to Naperville without regard for whether residents can
 remain in Naperville or whether people who work in Naperville can afford to live
 her should cease. For example, I don't recall any survey's asking what barriers,
 if any, current residents or current workers, feel regarding finding housing in
 Naperville. • Density bonuses should only be offered for including more
 affordable housing and should not be granted without considering the
 neighborhood character, adjacent green buffers (permeable area), common
 space, and neighborhood park space. Unfortunately for years staff, the PZC,
 and CC have let developers make the affordable housing problem worse by
 granting variances for high end market rate housing even when that housing
 could have been built without variances. This never should have happened
 given we have known we've had a housing problem for at least 12 years.
 Density bonuses should not allow even greater variances for affordable units
 than have been granted thus far for high-end market housing. • Density bonuses
 should encourage smaller units to not more units. Where are the statistics for
 square footage per resident compared to other communities in the USA and
 other countries? For example, from 1973 to 2016 the living space per US
 resident has nearly doubled and homes are 1000 square feet larger. •
 Landowners do not deserve to absorb the financial impact of an IZO. How can
 this be prevented? Who is looking out for their interests? • What is a
 "prototypical development" and who determines it? Should there be more than
 one depending on the character of the neighborhood being impacted? • There
 are mechanism to "offset the financial impacts of IZO" on developers, but what
 about mechanisms to get neighborhood and community buy-in? • Should
 council decide they want an IZO, how will this be coordinated with the
 comprehensive plan? I believe a new version of the comprehensive plan is
 supposed to go before the PZC this summer. This is especially important if the
 IZO is targeted to specific areas.

 SB Friedman representative, Fran Lefor Rood provided a presentation to
 Council recapping the recommendations by the Human Rights and Fair
 Housing Commission to Council which included implementation of an
 Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance (IZO). SB Friedman was retained to evaluate and
 structure a potential IZO. Rood noted City Council’s guidance on the case
 studies and key parameters of the IZO discussed during the workshop will help
 with next steps.

 Council discussed adverse consequences and successes to adopting an IZO,

City of Naperville Page 4 Printed on 11/3/2021
City Council Meeting Minutes June 21, 2021

 alternative options other communities have used to provide affordable housing,
 and the impact of HB2621.

 Rood expanded on the proposed HB2621 legislation and noted the impact to an
 individual property owner will likely be limited. Rood stated other communities
 are attempting to preserve naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH),
 provide financial incentives, and update their zoning code to allow developments
 with more density.

 Council requested details on how the comparable cities were chosen and
 changes to the Affordable Housing Planning and Appeal Act (AHPAA).

 Rood responded the comparable communities to Naperville were chosen based
 on scale and typology that is similar Naperville as requested by Council. Rood
 noted the proposed AHPAA revisions seek to eliminate home rule exemption
 option that many existing communities have used and would allow Illinois
 Housing Development Authority (IHDA) to notify the Attorney General if cities are
 not providing the required affordable housing plans.

 Council raised concerns with IHDA’s methodology to determine compliance
 with AHPAA, potential impacts to school districts, success with the affordable
 apartments voluntarily proposed by the CityGate West development, and
 discussed level of support for an IZO.

 Laff explained staff’s concern with IHDA’S methodology to determine
 compliance with AHPAA. Rood noted that because Council consensus has not
 been reached it is difficult to determine next steps.

 Council discussed the need to define affordable and affordable housing goals,
 incentive options, fee-in-lieu requirements, and the pros and cons of both
 mandatory versus voluntary IZO programs. Council requested a list of voluntary
 IZO communities and level of success be provided.

 Krieger summarized the discussion noting the Council consensus is to focus
 on voluntary efforts to increase affordable units, including the use of incentives
 options, and that Council will need to define affordability and success. Krieger
 noted that staff will further develop options based on the Council direction
 received and present these options to Council for further discussion, either
 through an additional workshop or through Council 2 x 2s.

 Council noted that 2 x 2 meetings would be productive.



E. ADJOURNMENT:

 The Inclusionary Zoning workshop of June 21, 2021 concluded at 8:15 p.m.
