AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE AGREEMENT
An affordable housing agreement was executed in June 2002, to ensure satisfaction of
McMillin Otay Ranch, LLC's obligation to provide affordable housing within Otay
Ranch Village Six. The developer is requesting to satisfy such obligation through the use
of existing low income housing credits and the construction of second dwelling units as
contemplated within the agreement. The developer is also requesting the release from the
obligation of those properties within the project not identified for the provision of low
and moderate income housing. The first amendment to the agreement has been prepared
for Council's consideration to address the developer's request. (Director of Community
Development)
Councilmember McCann asked for an overview of the proposed project concept. Senior
Community Development Specialist Hines responded that the City has a balanced communities
policy, requiring master plan developers to set aside five percent of their overall residential
projects as affordable to lower and moderate-income persons. McMillin exceeded its affordable
housing obligation with the Cordova Village and Teresina at Lomas Verdes developments by
mom than six units to be applied to other properties. She explained that staff and the developer

Mayor Padilla asked staff to schedule a workshop in the near future for a comprehensive review
of the housing element.
ACTION: Councilmember McCann then offered Resolution No. 2003-272, heading read,

meeting with the Mayor, Ms. Parga requested Council's consideration of providing

implement tougher laws to discourage graffiti terrorist gangs and increase support from local law
enforcement. Mr. Rosabal stated that the local utility companies - San Diego Gas & Electric,
