B
A
A
A
So
you
know,
housing
stat
is
is
a
piece
of
a
larger
priority.
Stat
program
and
the
whole
purpose
of
priority
set
is
really
to
foster
an
environment
of
accountability
and
collaboration
through
an
established
framework
for
measuring
performance
on
the
mayor's
highest
priorities.
And
so
what
are
the
priorities.
A
It's
important
to
know
so,
first
being
public
safety.
Second,
is
protecting
our
city
from
flooding
and
sea
level
rise.
Why
we're
here
today
attainable
and
affordable
housing
in
the
city?
Mobility,
so
our
transportation
infrastructure,
economic
empowerment
to
build
inclusivity
as
well
as
equity,
and
then,
of
course,
quality
of
life.
A
A
Collaboration
is
the
key,
so
so
again,
this
is
not
by
department,
so
we've
got
multiple
departments
that
are
represented
as
part
of
the
team:
the
frc
the
executive
office
hcd,
it
pis
livability,
planning,
preparation
and
sustainability.
A
So
how
do
we?
How
do
we
get
out
of
the
way
as
much
as
possible?
Transparency
is
also
really
important.
Obviously
why
we
have
these
public
meetings
providing
a
hybrid
environment,
so
people
can
attend
in
their
pajamas
and
phony
slippers
if
they
would
like
to
and
still
interact
with
us,
but
this
is
also
being
streamed,
live
to
youtube
so
that
people
can
come
back
and
watch
it
at
their
leisure.
A
We
also
are
working
hard
to
as
we
as
we
grow
and
mature
in
this
program,
we'll
be
providing
all
of
the
data
on
on
our
website
as
well,
so
that
citizens
can
also
track
our
progress
right
along
with
us.
A
So
I'm
just
really
quickly.
You
know
this
is
a.
This
is
a
journey
right,
and
so
you
know
how
do
we
kind
of
go
from
just
you
know,
tracking
tracking
widgets,
if
you
will
to
actually
understanding
what's
happening
and
start
to
make
recommendations
and
be
proactive
in
our
work,
and
so
that
we're
again
not
just
tracking
things
and
trying
to
understand
what
happened
but
really
get
to
why
it
happened,
proactive
side,
so
that's
kind
of
what
we're
what
we're
headed
towards.
A
So
today,
I
think
there's
some
really
good
information
that
that
we're
gonna
hear
about
some
great
work,
talk
about
some
flight
code
violations,
time
to
approve
market
and
affordable
housing
projects,
affordable
housing
units
created
and
preserved,
as
well
as
looking
at
the
dollars,
contributed
to
the
city's,
affordable
housing
fund
and
what
that
kind
of
landscape
looks
like
so
with
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
amy
and
kelvin
to
talk
about
supply
code
violation.
C
So
I
I
wanted
to
start
by
asking
what
you
think
blight
is,
so
this
is
our
interactive
portion
of
the
meeting.
So
what
do
you
consider
to
be
blight?
C
C
So
in
our
next
slide
we
have
some
images
that
illustrate
some
of
the
light
that
we
may
see
around
the
city
overgrown
yards.
C
Yard,
another
home-
that's
barely
visible
through
the
overgrowth
graffiti
abandoned
homes,
litter
along
the
street.
So
all
of
these
are
examples
of
flight.
We
won't
focus
on
the
vacant
buildings
today,
we're
focusing
more
on
the
things
that
that
can
be
cleaned
up
a
little
faster.
C
So
if
you
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
I
wanted
to
also
talk
to
you
before
we
get
into
the
details
of
like
you
know.
How
does
this
relate
to
affordable
housing
flight
can
cause?
You
know
health
and
safety
hazards.
It
can
also
bring
an
increase
in
crime
to
a
neighborhood,
but
it
can
also
cause
some
social
problems
within
the
community.
C
Lighted
properties
can
create
a
decrease
in
surrounding
property
values,
and
this
can
lead
to
either
under
appraisal
or
and
a
gap
in
the
appraisals
which
makes
it
difficult
to
get
mortgages
approved,
so
that
impacts,
affordable
housing
and
just
reducing
blight
can
go
a
long
way
in
keeping
a
healthy
balance
in
the
neighborhood.
C
Flight
is
very
costly
to
a
community.
If
you
think
about
it,
we
have
a
whole
department
in
which
half
of
our
staff
focus
on
these
types
of
issues.
So
flight
is
costly
to
cities
through
administrative
costs,
legal
and
staff,
labor
costs.
Another
cost
to
the
city
is
a
loss
of
tax
revenue
for
these
properties,
as
those
property
values
decrease
in
an
area.
C
C
Currently
90
of
light
code
violations
are
resolved
between
10
and
30
days.
We
would
like,
by
the
end
of
next
year,
2023
to
remedy
these
flight
issues
closer
to
10
days
or
less
instead
of
10
to
30..
So
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
kelvin's
going
to
assist
in
some
of
the
various
types
of
violations
that
we
find
so
kelvin.
C
If,
if
you
would
talk
to
us,
maybe
about
14-5
duty
of
owner
to
keep
the
property
clean
and
maybe
public
nuisance
like
how
those
differ
and
what
those,
what
those
things
mean.
F
Okay,
14-5
the
owner's
responsibility
to
keep
the
property
clean,
basically
puts
a
burden
on
the
property
owner
to
to
bring
the
property
into
compliance
or
keep
it
in
compliance,
and
so
keeping
the
lawn
mower
or
the
litter
make
sure
there's
no
litter.
F
These
are
the
kinds
of
things
that
we
we
can
see
as
we
patrol
the
neighborhoods
the
problem
we
have
with
that,
though,
you
have
a
significant
number
of
an
increasing
number
of
elderly
people
who
are
unable
either
physically
or
financially
to
get
this
done,
and
that
impacts
the
amount
of
time
we
you
know
from
the
time
we
give
them
a
notice
until
it's
the
issues
resolved
and
so
we've,
just
not.
I've
even
dealt
with
jamie
roper
in
seeing
that
there's
some
type
of
way
to
help
some
of
these
elderly
people.
F
Even
I've
spoken
with
churches
and
it
seems
to
be
nothing
there,
that's
actually
in
place
to
help
them
that
helps
us
to
reduce
the
numbers,
and
so
that
that's
one
impact.
Now,
that's
14-5
the
only
responsibility
to
keep
the
property
clean,
2152
public
nuisance,
public
nuisances-
you
know
it's,
it
can
be
any
hazard
that
impacts
the
public
from
low-hanging
tree
branches
to
palmetto
branches
coming
over
the
sidewalk,
which
impacts
wheelchair
accessibility,
children
walking
to
school.
F
So
we
we
do
a
fairly
good
job
at
dealing
with
those,
because
sometimes
we
just
have
to
pull
up
with
the
truck
and
chop
it
ourselves.
But
some
of
these
issues,
it's
really
property
owner's
responsibility.
F
Some
of
the
property
owners
are
delaware
corporations
and
we're
never
gonna
get
in
touch
with
them
until
they're
ready
to
get
in
touch
with
us,
and
so
we
we,
you
know.
So
we
try
to
get
them
to
resolve
these
issues
and
when
we
can't
that's
when
we
finally
have
to
go
ahead
and
deal
with
it
ourselves.
So
those
are
two
of
the
areas
that
we
deal
with
public
nuisance.
Then
they
own
a
responsibility
and.
C
Then
their
their
two
others
are
a
little
more
direct
14-32
abandoned
vehicles
in
the
yard
and
then
14-46
which
isn't
proper,
put
out
of
trash
or
garbage
and
a
risk
in
the
residential
and
the
residential
areas
right.
C
So
so
these
you
know,
kelvin's
mentioned
some
of
the
the
barriers
to
decreasing
those
numbers
of
days.
F
C
So
one
of
the
things
he
didn't
mention
is
you
know
we
we
may
not
get
compliance
with
a
simple
warning,
verbal
or
written.
Sometimes
people
just
are
reluctant
to
do
it,
so
these
things
can
escalate
to
a
court
summons
that
takes
far
more
time
to
resolve
an
issue.
So
while
we
do
get
most
of
our
compliance
through
mornings,
we
do
have
to
go
through
that
poor
process
as
well.
Obviously
we
would
prefer
to
handle
them
more
in
a
warning
basis,
no
fines
that
sort
of
thing,
but
they
do
sometimes
take
a
little
longer
with
courts.
C
So
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
few
examples
out
of
92
cases
of
14-5,
which
is
the
duty
of
owner
keeping
property
11
of
those
escalated
to
a
summons
so
about
11.
12
of
them
had
to
go
to
court
to
be
resolved,
and
these
are
coming
in
at
about
a
24
day
average
for
the
year
that
we
are,
you
know,
managing
to
keep
90
of
them
under
30
days.
So.
C
C
You'll
see
with
some
of
the
items
that
we
present
about
how
we
might
achieve
these
goals
that
abs,
you
know
rental
properties,
people
that
simply
need
a
help,
and
they
can't
do
it
on
their
own,
and
you
know,
especially
with
those
that
need
some
sort
of
assistance
going.
The
route
of
a
summons
just
puts
them
in
a
worse
situation
than
than
is
necessary,
but
sometimes
that's
the
only
thing
that
gets
their
attention
to
take
care
of
it.
B
The
yards
are,
you
can
imagine
what
the
inside
looks
like
in
the
outside.
It's
just
everything
comes
home,
that's
very
sensitive,
dealing
with
people
with
that
mental
building.
So
obviously
that
impacts
the
time
to
resolve
the
case.
Those
link,
because
human
nature
tells
you
to
be
a
little
more
kind
of
kinder
and
gentle
when
you're
dealing
with
that
aspect
of
the
community.
But
that
is
a
big
collective
part
of
it
because
you
want
to
be
sensitive.
B
You
want
to
try
to
find
the
means
you
want
to
try
to
and
and
and
another
a
little
block
is
government
to
be
honest
with
you
dealing
with
the
the
mental
counselors
mental
counselors
in
the
government.
There's
many
protocols
in
place
where
they
they
want
to
get
involved.
They
say
no,
it
doesn't
classify.
It
doesn't
mean
that.
Well,
so
that's
professional
that
meet
their
threshold.
B
That's
not
mental
illness!
They're,
not
suicidal
they're,
not
gonna!
You
know,
do
harm
to
anybody.
So
therefore
we
back
out
it's
one
of
our
biggest
frustrations,
especially
for
12
gordon
street
downtown.
Is
we've
been
dealing
with
years.
Kelvin
said
personally
involved,
and
it's
still
not
where
we
need
it
to
be,
so
that
I
just
wanted
to
throw
that
in
there.
That
is
another
factor.
C
Public
nuisance
cases,
sometimes
those
are
a
little
bit
more
involved
than
just
the
duty
of
owners.
We
have
fewer
of
those
right,
but
they
they
tend
to
take
a
little
longer
and
the
32
cases.
Six
of
those
have
gone
to
court
this
year
abandoned
vehicles.
Again
those
can
take
a
little
longer.
You
have
to
make
arrangements
to
get
a
total
way
and
people.
C
Get
rid
of
their
property
or
find
a
new
location
for
it.
Those
don't
go
to
sport
as
often
but
we've
had
four
this
year
and
then
improper
put
out.
That's
you
know
people
putting
their
trash
out
too
soon
or
too
late
or
leaving
their
can
on
the
street.
C
All
of
the
time
we
have
quite
a
few
of
those,
mostly
it
does
feel
like
it's
rental
property,
especially
on
the
peninsula,
with
college
students
running
properties,
it's
rare
that
those
go
to
court,
but
they
do
we've
had
a
few
cases
this
year
about
four
of
them
and
those
you
know
it's
it's
not
a
one-time
thing,
the
ones
that
go
to
court,
it's
multiple
offenses
and
never
taking
care
of
it
properly,
but
obviously
those
those
are
resolved
usually
that
day
or
the
next
day,
unless
they
end
up
in
court.
C
So
one
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
you're,
probably
all
aware
of,
because
it's
currently
going
through
council
one
of
the
things
that
would
really
speed
things
up
for
us
when
we're
dealing
with
rental
properties
is
having
the
appropriate
person
to
contact
when
we
do
have
these
flight
situations
on
rental
properties.
So
you
know
the
city
has
proposed
to
create
this
rental
registration
program.
That'll
assist
us
in
having
better
access
to
the
the
right
contacts
and
I
believe
it
was
deferred
the
other
night,
but
hopefully
it
will
be
passed
this
year.
C
So
another
thing
that
we
were
looking
at
to
try
to
achieve
this
goal
is
to
develop
guidelines
to
address,
repeat
offenders,
and
we
would
like
to
work
on
that
through
next
year
and
hopefully
have
you
know
a
strategy
to
deal
with
these
folks
and
then
a
more
a
more
recent
thing
that
we've
been
discussing
is:
how
do
we
assist
those
people
that
need
help?
Maybe
they're
elderly
or
have
a
mental
illness,
and
they
they
simply
can't
get
these
things
done.
C
So
we
would
like
to
explore
any
programs
or
opportunities
there
may
be
to
to
help
there.
There
are
times
when
you
know
our
staff
assist
and
dan
will
ask
one
of
us
to
go
and
cut
some
branches
down
or
to
mow
a
lawn.
But
that's
you
know,
probably
not
the
best
way
in
the
end
like
there
may
be
other
avenues
that
we
can
explore.
So
we'd
like
to
look
into
those
things.
D
D
C
Well
and
then
that
that,
of
course
is
is
also
an
issue.
We
had
a
case
in
court
in
just
recent
months
that
someone
going
through
a
very
difficult
time,
their
their
neighbor
works
for
government
nearby
and
knows
all
of
the
resources
out
there
and
that
that
neighbor
tried
to
help
by
providing
details
about
the
programs
for
roof
replacement,
all
sorts
of
things,
but
you
have
a
resistance
there.
D
We
should
try
to
find
somebody
or
create
somebody
that
does
that
and
then,
on
the
other
folks,
it
seems
to
me
kind
of
on
the
really
mini
version
of
demolition
by
neglect,
where
we
have
the
ability
at
some
really
extreme
case,
to
go
in
and
make
the
repair
and
put
a
lien
on
the
property.
D
Why
couldn't
we
have
a
mini,
similar
thing
where
somebody
just
won't
cut
the
weeds
and
do
what
they
need
to
do,
and
you
end
up
having
to
take
the
court
of
having
our.
I
know
you've
got
kind
of
a
swat
team
that
can
go
out
and
just
cut
somebody's
speed
for
them.
Right,
yes,
put
a
hundred
dollar
lead
on
it.
D
You
know,
and
that
sounds
like
a
minimal
amount
to
go
through
the
legal
trouble,
but
it
seems
to
me
that
it
would
get
somebody's
attention
that
they'd
get
a
lien
on
their
property
for
a
hundred
dollars.
You
know,
and
and
eventually
it
would
create
some
income
to
support
the
swat
team.
You
know
to
be
able
to
do
more
of
that
ourselves,
rather
than
I
mean
by
the
time
you
do
ticket
or
court.
I
mean
it
still
looks
like
all
that
time
and.
B
C
So
maybe
we
could
form
source
some
sort
of
alliance
where
we
can
notify
them
when
we
may
have
a
case
that
they
could
help
us
with
yeah.
B
It
might
be
some
churches
that
know
the
people
in
the
community
are
at
least
not
in
neighborhoods,
and
you
know
I'm
trying
to
think
about
how
we
how
we
all
help
out
it's
not
just
the
government's
responsibility
to
work
as
a
community,
because
it
also
kind
of
goes
back
to
the
community
trust
that
we've
been
talking
about
some
members.
Might
some
members
in
our
community
might
be
more
willing
to
take
help
or
assistance
or
information
from
your
local
church
rather
than
city
personnel?.
F
Of
elderly
people
who
and
I've
been
with
the
city
for
years
and
they've,
had
immaculately
really
beautiful
loans
and
stubborn
things
now
they're,
elderly
and
nobody
know-
I
mean
it
was
amazing.
They
told
me
that
people
in
their
church
won't
help.
B
C
If
it
is
case
by
case
you
know,
and
often
if
there
is
a
hardship,
the
judge
doesn't
care.
C
He
may
just
say
give
them
an
extended
time
period.
Let's
see
you
back
here
in
15
days
or
something
like
that,
so
that
there's
a
little
pressure
on
them
to
do
it,
but
but
not
that
financial
burden.
Anything
else.
B
A
B
F
There
are
so
many
different,
you
know,
there's
so
many
different
variables.
Again.
You
have
some
vehicles
that
say
a
person
who
became
elderly
they're
no
longer
able
to
drive
on
on
saint
margaret
street.
They
had
a
similar
situation
and
the
family
members.
F
So
you
have
these
kinds
of
things,
then
you
have
the
person,
that's
doing
mechanic
work
at
in
their
in
their
yards,
and
so
you
know
I'm
not
and
come
out
of
the
house
with
the
wrench
in
their
hand
and
greece
all
over
them,
and
so
these
are
people
that
you,
like
you're
gonna,
get
something
you
know
and
because
so
it
can
be
anything
in
between
yeah.
So
I
think
the.
B
Bigger
answer
to
you
is
flooding,
probably
not
environmentally
yeah
weather
you
know,
weather
takes.
It
shifts
the
engaged
a
little
bit
because
our
our
peak
times
are
summer
because
grass
is
always
growing
and
it's
raining,
that's
ability.
I
couldn't
do
it
so
I
wouldn't
say
flooding,
but
I
would
say,
environmental
fabric.
A
Lots
of
good
stuff
there
I
know
y'all
been
working
hard
to
like
do
some
stuff
in
intergov
to
get
things
tracked
properly
and
whatnot.
So
that's
that's
a
good
great
step
one.
So
that's
awesome!
So
let's
switch
gears
a
little
bit.
I
think,
shipped
over
to
chloe.
E
So
you
all
right,
so
I'm
going
to
be
talking
about
our
goal:
to
reduce
the
review
times
for
new
market
rate
and
affordable
housing
projects.
So
when
we
talk
about
reducing
the
regulatory
burden,
to
increase
the
amount
of
attainable
and
affordable
housing
projects,
part
of
that
is
getting
out
of
the
way.
E
A
little
background
first
on
this
next
slide
tracy,
so
the
this
is
from
the
housing
for
fear
charleston
report,
which
was
published,
I
believe
in
2020..
E
This
is
showing
a
comparison
between
your
typical
financing
formula,
for
this
is
for
affordable
housing,
construction
and
then,
when
you
apply
it
to
charleston,
it's
it
costs
a
lot
more,
so
land
is
more
costly
here.
Construction
is
more
costly
here,
soft
costs,
I
would
say
you
know
the
the
developer,
free
and
financing
fees.
I
guess
those
are
the
same,
but
the
soft
pass-
and
I
might
look
for
matt
here.
E
That
would
be
like
the
design
piece
yeah,
so
that
box
may
need
to
actually
be
a
little
bigger
based
on
what
we've
been
learning,
but
that
the
soft
class
is
really
where
we
we
have
influence
on
that.
So
the
design
costs
go
up
the
more
criteria,
the
more
board
meetings
that
a
team
has
to
go
to
the
more
times
they
have
to
revise
and
resubmit.
E
E
So
this
is
when
we
talk
about
reducing
the
regulatory
board
for
affordable
housing,
we're
really
just
trying
to
cut
costs
where
we
can
to
to
bring
down
that
gap,
funding
needed
and
to
increase
our
options
for
generating
more
affordable
housing
supply.
E
E
Very
well
yes,
yeah
very
well
so
this
is,
I
realize
this
is
tiny.
The
point
is
not
to
to
be
able
to
read
every
line.
This
is
just
this
is
a
list,
a
sample
timeline
that
we
put
together
with
a
developer.
That's
affordable,
housing
developer,
that's
new
to
charleston,
to
give
them
a
sort
of
a
pathway
to
approval
like
here
are
all
the
things
that
you'll
need
to
do
in
this
order.
So
this
is
an
exhaustive
list.
His
eyes
were
bugging
out
of
this.
E
We
were
going
over
this
and
really
every
time
that
there's
a
new
line,
it's
a
it's
a
revise
and
resubmit,
and-
and
there
are
three
it's
not
just
the
links-
it's
also
that
there
are
multiple
boards,
multiple
review
processes
happening
at
the
same
time
that
aren't
necessarily
talking
to
each
other.
There
may
be
conflicting
directives
in
that
we
try
and
avoid
that
as
much
as
possible,
but
that's
sort
of
the
process
as
it
currently
is
for
folks
next
slide.
Please-
and
this
is
some
information
feedback
that
we've
gotten
from
affordable
housing
developer
about.
E
Essentially,
this
process
charleston's
process
effectively
doubles
their
design
cost,
which
is
which
can
be
tremendous,
so
we're
talking
about
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars,
more
half
a
million
potentially-
and
that's
that's
only
part
part
of
the
issue
here
that
we're
trying
to
address
next
slide.
E
So
we
have
several
things
that
we
put
in
place,
trying
to
have
more
red
carpet,
less
red
tape
for
those
building,
affordable
housing
in
the
city
of
charleston.
E
We
have
what's
called
priority
status,
any
development,
that's
building
at
least
or
that's
designating
at
least
50
percent
of
their
units
as
affordable
will
have
access
to
benefits,
such
as
assistance
from
affordable
housing.
Concierge,
which
is
that's
myself
currently
sort
of
about.
20
of
my
time,
goes
to
supporting
these
projects.
E
We
have
a
affordable
housing
protocol
through
the
technical
review
committee,
which
is
is
on
the
right,
compares
it's
a
little
small,
but
it
compares
the
review
process
for
affordable
housing,
priority
status
or
if
it's
market
rate-
and
I
think
the
key
ones
here
is
it's
a
17-day
review
period
for
affordable
housing
and
for
a
market
rate
that
can
vary
could
go,
go
up
to
as
much
as
45
days.
E
It's
it's
still
long,
it's
still
complicated,
still
confusing
and,
and
so
we've
established
an
affordable
housing
work
group
with
representatives
from
all
these
different
boards
and
review
processes,
and
the
metaphor
that
we've
been
using
with
this
group
is
we're
trying
to
squeeze
the
limit
as
like
just
to
get
out
all
the
juice
we
can.
We
realize
we
can't
really.
We
don't
want
to
compromise
on
our
standards.
They're
important.
We
have
strict
storm
water
regulations
for
a
reason.
We're
not.
We
can't
compromise
this.
E
E
So
we
two
our
two
goals
that
we'll
be
measuring
toward
next
side.
Tracy
is
the
first
one
is
for
affordable
and
market
rate
to
receive
trc
site
plan
approval
after
three
or
fewer
submittals,
so
the
baseline
data
is
shown
here
currently
the
average
from,
and
so
the
time
period
that
this
is
averaging
is
from
january
2019.
E
To
monday
this
monday,
the
average
submittals
currently
are
3.11
for
market
rate
for
all
plans,
3.19
for
trc
plans
with
any
number
of
affordable
units
and
then
3.43
for
priority
status,
housing
trc
plans,
so
we
want
to
get
this
down
to
three
or
less
and
for
affordable
housing,
especially
we'd,
be
encouraging
that
to
include
a
pre-application
submittal,
which
there
would
be
no
expectation
for
approval
with
that
step.
E
I'll
be
adding
to
that
dashboard
that
you
just
saw
also
the
average
days
between
submittal.
So
this
is
on
the
the
regular
trc
dashboard.
That's
already
on
the
innovate
website
shows
that
this
is
basically
the
time
period
where
we
don't
have
control
over
how
long
we
want
to
we're
working
on
understanding
better.
What
what
contributes
to
that
length
of
time
between
submittals?
E
Is
there
something
more
we
can
be
doing
to
reduce
that
time
period,
or
is
it
the
factors
that
are
totally
outside
of
our
control
like
waiting
for
you
know,
cost
of
wood
to
go
down
before
they?
You
know,
take
their
next
step
or
you
know
what
are
those
factors
there.
E
And
then
the
second
goal
that
we're
still
working
on
getting
data
for,
but
we
will
be
also
wanting
to
measure
the
time
for
final
inspection,
so
not
just
that
initial
plan
approval
to
get
your
permits,
your
building
permits
in
place,
but
then
from
that
point
actually
going
through
construction,
getting
your
inspections
and
then
getting
a
certificate
of
occupancy.
So
we
want
to
reduce
that
time
that
final
inspection
period
time
by
by
35,
we
don't
have
the
baseline
data.
Yet
for
that
I
imagine
this
goal.
E
May
they
fluctuate,
as
we
understand
the
numbers
better,
but
we
are
working
on
that
to
get
the
data
for
that,
it's
going
to
require
some
process
improvement
and
adjustments
to
workflow.
So
we're
going
to
have
to
build
some
things
that
we're
not
currently
doing
yet
to
be
able
to
track
that
accurately
and.
E
We're
also
going
to
be
we've
talked
about
also
tracking
information
like
who
submits
for
pre-application,
who
doesn't
who
utilizes
the
red
flag,
follow-up
option
and
also
site-specific
considerations
like
is
it
a
is
the
location
in
a
fema
floodplain?
Is
it
in
a
special
protection
area?
Is
it
under
bar
dr
drb
purview?
So
we
can
understand
what
are
these
different
factors
that
are
contributing
to
longer
shorter
lengths
of
time
so
that
we
know
where
to
focus
our
efforts.
A
So
chloe,
thank
you.
A
A
Year
and
I
think
you're
going
to
see
the
same
thing
with
affordable
projects
as
well
and
but
to
your
point
I
think
it'd
be
great
to
say:
okay.
Well,
when
did
we
start?
Where
did
chloe
start
kind
of
taking
that
role
as
concierge
number
one
number
two:
when
did
trc
kind
of
adjust
their
time
frames
for
affordable
housing
projects
and
look
and
see?
Has
there
been
a
significant
difference?
A
E
Exactly
the
the
trc
protocol,
the
morning
sort
of
the
17
day,
review
period,
red
flag
follow-up
that
wasn't
put
in
place
until
last
year
once
the
summer
of
last
year,
so
we
haven't
had
any
projects
that
have
started
with
that
in
place
and
finished
yeah.
E
So
once
we
have
more
of
those
examples,
then
we'll
be
able
to
measure
how
how
much
that
has
assisted
or
not
yeah
how
effective
it
has
been
or
not.
Yes,
yes,
we
do
have
that
ability.
That's
another
thing
too.
We
weren't
able
we
didn't,
have
the
system
in
place
to
track
that
time
period
for
affordable
housing
projects
compared
to
market
rate
until
really
last
year.
So
it's
new
data,
where
we're
going
to
have
to
give
it
some
time
to
really
start
learning
from
it.
D
E
I'm
glad
you
brought
that
up.
I
think
I
think
that
would
be
a
great
thing
to
track.
I'm
going
to
write
a
note
about
that.
E
Also
something
that
has
come
up
in
the
affordable
housing
work
group
is
part
of
the
challenges
that
we
know.
Staff
capacity
is
an
issue
across
the
city,
but
that
is
really
contributing
to
the
longer
review
period.
When
we
really
have
sort
of
a
bottleneck
issue,
it's
usually
because
of
staff
capacity
being
understaffed
and
our
fees
are
our
you
know,
permit
plan
application
fees
are
supporting
staff,
but
the
budget
for
staff.
E
So
one
of
the
things
that's
been
discussed
or
brought
up
from
the
affordable
housing
work
group
is:
is
there
I'm
just
delivering
a
message?
I'm
not
making
any
recommendations,
I'm
just
elevating
something
from
that
group
is.
Is
there?
Is
it
worth
talking
about?
Maybe
increasing
fees
for
some
projects
to
offset
that,
because
we
we
also
need
more
funding
for
staff
in
order
to
really
cut
these
times
down
in
the
way
that
we
need
to.
So
that's,
that's
a
that's
a
challenge
to
that
point.
D
Position,
the
concierge
one,
but
also
we
have
all
these
coming
back
to
the
budget
ad
hoc,
not
just
for
planning
but
throughout
the
city,
to
evaluate
any
fees
that
we
feel
appropriate
to
raise
for
next
year.
So
we
will
be
looking
at
that
before
the
end
of
the
year.
G
G
Development
in
general,
the
city-
in
order
for
us
to
get
close
to
that-
and
we
also
know
that
the
greatest
need
for
affordable
housing
in
our
city
is
amongst
those
that
are
at
the
lowest
incomes.
So
there
are
7
000
low
income,
housing
units
that
are
needed
just
to
meet
our
current
need.
So
we
know
this
is
the
big
number
that
we've
been
working
towards
since
our
city
plan
came
out,
I
guess
a
year
a
half
ago,
since
that
time,
rents
are
going
up.
Housing
prices
have
gone
up.
E
G
Earlier
this
year,
we
released
an
affordable
housing
dashboard
that
a
lot
of
city
staff
put
a
lot
of
hard
work
into
across
different
departments,
and
what
this
does
is
show
all
where
all
the
existing
affordable
housing
is
in
our
city,
where
all
the
proposed,
affordable
housing
is
located
in
information
with
each
of
those
projects,
then
also
shows
information
regarding
where
our
huds
are,
where
we're
expecting
a
certain
percentage
of
affordable
housing
to
be
created.
Once
those
projects
start
to
move
forward,
it
links
to
the
dashboard,
so
you
can
click
through
a
little
bit.
G
It's
for
anyone,
that's
listening
online.
This
is
available
on
the
city
website.
It's
updated
on
a
nightly
basis,
it's
being
pulled
up
right
now
by
tracy
and
what
it,
what
it
basically
does
is
works
through
our
back-end
system
on
intergov
to
to
allow
us
to
track.
Each
project
that
is
active
in
the
development
process
provides
specific
information
about
that
project
in
terms
of
the
income
levels
that
are
being
met
with
the
different
units
in
the
project,
the
type
of
project
it
is
senior
housing,
housing
for
people
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
et
cetera.
G
And
also
on
the
affordability
period,
so
whether
it's
a
project
that's
going
to
have
those
affordable
units
there
for
30
years
for
perpetuity
or
first
another,
especially
right
now
at
the
bottom
of
our
screen.
Here
we
have
a
number
of
different
charts
that
provide
information
regarding
when
we're
expecting
these
affordable
housing
developments
to
be
completed.
G
G
Projects
that
have
been
supported
through
our
affordable
housing
bond,
which
was
approved
in
2017,
provides
20
million
dollars
in
going
to
a
variety
of
projects
throughout
the
city.
So
you
see
between
the
existing
proposed
units,
what
we
have
remaining,
we
still
have
a
gap
by
2030
15
647
units.
So
that's
a
lot.
G
And
I'll
also
note
that
when
we
originally
launched
this
dashboard
this
spring,
we
actually
had
more
proposed
units
on
the
pie
chart.
We
had
one
of
our
developments
that
we
were
supporting,
say
unable
to
move
forward,
so
we're
actually
in
the
last
six
months
we're
moving
backwards.
G
G
Charleston
land
prices
are
so
in
order
just
to
get
into
the
market
that
there's
that
gap
is
going
to
exist
on
the
developers,
capital
stack.
G
B
G
Well
and
it's
likely
going
to
increase
so
this
breaks
it
down.
I
mentioned
those
last
most
recent
seven
projects
and
you
can
see
what
our
average
contribution
has
been
per
unit.
The
funding
sources
that
we're
putting
towards
the
project
total
amounts
where
these
projects
are
located,
and
you
know
it's,
this
is
just
costly
business.
G
You
know
you
can.
If
you
look
at
the
sources,
you
can
see
that
we're
utilizing
a
variety
of
sources
in
order
to
make
a
project
happen.
So
as
an
example,
our
low-lying
housing
development
we're
using
utilizing
the
feed
loop,
we're
using
utilizing
bond
funds
and
we're
utilizing
tip
funds.
E
And
that,
for
those
not
familiar
with
these
projects,
these
are
for
reserve
with
lower
income,
lower
income,
housing,
correct,
yes,
yeah.
These
are
all
sixty
percent.
G
G
So
this
chart
it's
probably
difficult
to
read
but
basically
shows
where
we
stand
today
in
terms
of
our
different
funding
sources,
what
our
current
balances
and
what
we're
projecting
to
receive
over
the
next
five
years.
G
Again,
I
mentioned
this
before
the
theme
liu
really
has
been
really
important
in
order
for
us
to
support,
affordable
housing
creation
in
the
city
of
charleston,
and
we've
tried
to
project
out
based
off
of
when
certain
projects
may
finish.
B
G
E
G
E
D
G
G
G
And
the
metric
that
we've
been
tracking
is
specifically
around
the
affordable
housing
fund,
so
looking
at
our
franchise
fee
or
being
blue,
and
this
is
going
to
vary
over
each
year
based
off
of
these
rezonings
000,
coming
in
through
franchise
fee
d
and
blue
we've
brought
in
189
000.
So
far,
potentially
another
project
might
reach
their
co
by
the
end
of
the
year,
which
would
mean
another
766
000..
G
Then
you
can
see
funds
over
the
next
few
years
going
into
the
affordable
housing
fund.
B
Like
450
years,
yeah.
G
Then
we
also
have
the
medical
assistance
demonstration
program
which
will
expect
to
receive
additional,
affordable
housing
units,
so
the
housing
authority
will
likely
seek
funds
from
the
city
in
order
to
make
these
projects
forward.
We
also
have
existing,
affordable
housing
units
that
have
their
affordability,
restrictions
expiring,
and
so
you
do
all
the
math,
and
you
know
we
still
have
a
gap
of
roughly
14
600
units
in
2026
next
slide.
G
G
So
so
it's
our
goal
to
figure
out
how
do
we
continue
to
shrink
that
identified
traditional
funding
sources
to
to
meet
this
end
goal
of
the
16.
B
D
Housing
bond.
You
know
we
had
an
audit
report
before
yesterday
said:
city
finances
are
in
as
good
of
shape
as
they've
ever
been.
I
mean
we
can
afford
a
bars
of
money.
I'm
convinced
so
we've
got
to
figure
that
out
and
get
council
support
to
do
that.
But
the
other
thing
is:
I'm
just
convinced
that
when
we
do
our
whole
zoning
zoning
coding
update,
we've
got
to
create
more.
D
D
It
has
to
be
somehow
finagled
to
be
incentive
based,
but
if
that
means
reducing
the
entitlement
city-wide
of
what
people
can
build
so
that
they
have
to
come
back
to
us
for
an
incentive
and
requirement
to
do
affordable,
I
I
think
something
like
that
is
needed
in
order
to
impact
these
numbers,
because
we
can't
do
it
by
ourselves.
We
need
people
that
are
out
there
developing
product
to
be
a
part
of
the
solution,
and
I
hadn't
come
up
with
a
better
idea.
D
G
A
All
right,
well
good
stuff,
thanks
everybody
for
being
online
in
attendance
as
well
and
hope
everyone
has
an
awesome
thursday.
Thank
you.
