Recommendation
A. Receive a presentation analyzing the feasibility of local housing preference for market-rate units; and
B. Accept the three recommendations of the Housing Priority Policy for Goleta Residents and Employees Memo (“Memo”), including that the City not extend its Local Preference Program to market-rate units since doing so is not supported by the Memo, and focusing instead on City’s local preference for below-market units, monitoring other jurisdictions for new developments in local preference programs, and supporting partners that incentivize other local preference opportunities.
