Councilmember Gentry stated that she supported the project but would like to see the property better maintained until the building began. Councilmember Alessio voiced concern that the project did not include affordable units and stated she would not be able to support the project due to lack of community benefit. Councilmember Luros asked staff if the applicant could go back and change the entitlement back to eight affordable units instead of paying the alternative equivalent fees. Senior Planner Mike Allen responded, and stated that the alternative equivalent was approved in 2017 by City Council and was a separate action than what was before Council that evening. City Attorney Barrett provided additional clarification and background on the project. Councilmember Luros stated she was inclined to grant the extension, but only if the applicant took action to further the process. She stated that she wanted to see some contribution and benefit to the community. Vice Mayor Sedgley stated that he was excited to have this project move forward and was pleased with the proposed public right-of-way improvements that would be completed to improve the area. Additional Council discussion ensued regarding affordable housing fees. Mayor Techel stated she was pleased that new units would be coming on the market, but asked if the owner would set a period of time where the units would only be marketed in the Napa Valley area in order to give locals an opportunity to purchase units ahead of others. She would also like to ensure that buyers were made aware of the vacation rental ordinance. Councilmember Alessio agreed that the space was optimal for housing, but feared that the project would not be affordable to the workforce.
