specific actions.

2. Reduction of parking and Setback Requirements;
3. Impact -Fee Deferral/Waiver;
4. Allowance of Flexibility in Densities and Intensities; i.e. Floor Area ratio;
5. Review of Legislation, Policies and Plans that impact Affordable Housing.
The City Administration recommends the approval of the affordable housing incentives
strategies as recommended by the HCLC.
