City Planner Brian Shea estuvo a la vanguardia de quórum organizada por el alcalde Cantú y el Ayuntamiento con el fin de informar a los desarrolladores locales y del área de los procedimientos que deben estar en su lugar para agilizar la aprobación de las solicitudes futuras del proyecto y la aprobación de Planificación / Zonificación.
Shea compartió una lista de comprobación que los desarrolladores deben cumplir con el fin de iniciar el proceso de iniciar un nuevo proyecto.
Entonces a los desarrolladores se les dio la oportunidad de expresar sus preocupaciones sobre el proceso en sí mismo a la que decían que el tiempo de espera para dicha aprobación es a veces muy largo hasta que se apruebe por la Planificación y Zonificación y por el concilio.
El foro de ideas para acortar el tiempo discutido, sin embargo, los desarrolladores fueron informados de que hay momentos en que la solicitud está incompleta que hará que el departamento de planificación regrese la solicitud.
Un grupo de nuestros más notables desarrolladores locales estaban presentes, Gene Mireles, en particular, señaló que tuvo que esperar dos años para obtener la aprobación de un proyecto que él sentía era inaceptable.
El concejal Luis Sifuentes señaló que había habido una presentación no hace mucho tiempo de una empresa que mostró las herramientas de desarrollo económico del consejo, "Sin embargo, no se mueven como un consejo para profundizar en esto, tal vez deberíamos revisar esto con el fin de fomentar desarrollo. El costo para desarrollar la tierra ha aumentado esto va a traducirse en mayores costos para los lotes individuales ".
Sifuentes dice que esto está afectando negativamente a las familias de bajos ingresos de la construcción de viviendas en mejores zonas residenciales.
"El precio a subido en una gran cantidad (en algunas áreas 45,000 para un lote solo), que afecta a familias de bajos ingresos que no podran hacer una inversion en una casa de $100,000.00"
Sifuentes llegó a la conclusión de que es importante ver el incremento de impuestos de (TIRZ) en zonas de reinversión para ayudar a aliviar los costos.
Community Developer's Forum Held
City Planner Brian Shea was at the forefront of a quorum organized by Mayor Cantú and City Council in order to inform local and area developers of procedures that need to be in place to expedite the approval of future project applications and approval from Planning & Zoning.
Shea shared a checklist that developers must comply with in order to begin the process of beginning a new project.
Then developers were given the opportunity to voice their concerns on the process itself to which they said that wait time for such approval is sometimes very lengthy until it gets approved by Planning & Zoning and city council.
The forum discussed ideas to shorten the time, however, developers were informed that there are times when the application is incomplete which will make the planning department return the application.
A bevy of our most notable local developers were on hand and Gene Mireles in particular noted that he had to wait two years to get approval for a project which he felt was unacceptable.
City Councilman Luis Sifuentes pointed out that there had been a presentation not too long ago from a company that showed council economic development tools, "However we did not move as a council to look further into this, maybe we should revisit this in order to encourage development. The cost to develop land has gone up so consequently, this is going to translate into higher costs for individual lots."
Sifuentes says that this is adversely affecting low-income families from building homes in better residential areas.
"The price of a lot has gone up so much (in some areas as much as $45,000 for the lot alone), you're keeping low-income families from affording a $100,000.00 home."
He concluded that it is important for them to look into tax increment reinvestment zones (TIRZ's) to help alleviate costs.
Thursday, Interim Fire Chief Sonny Mello was informed of the fact that he had been officially named the permanent replacement to Former Fire Chief Jesus Rodriguez.
