#580 – PUBLIC MEETING HELD TO DISCUSS DEVELOPING AFFORDABLE HOUSING AT THE
CHURCH STREET PARKING LOT
The following Order introduced by Councillor Milo was adopted as amended.
ORDERED: That the City Council sub-committee on Community and Economic Development
partner with the Planning Department to schedule a public meeting to discuss the potential of
developing affordable housing, in conjunction with public parking, at the Church Street parking lot.

McCarthy amended to invite the SRA or SRA Chairperson be invited.
Councillor Madore, Furey and Peterson were recorded as opposed.
ORDERED: That the City Council sub-committee on Community and Economic Development
partner with the Planning Department to schedule a public meeting to discuss the potential of
developing affordable housing, in conjunction with public parking, at the Church Street parking lot.
And that this meeting be held at the Community Life Center and the Salem Redevelopment Authority
(SRA) or the SRA Chairperson be invited.
Councillor Madore was concerned about the City Council driving this. It should be done by the
property owner which is the SRA. As the liaison to the SRA this is the first she is hearing about it. In
late 2017 a study was commissioned on the best strategic way how to develop this lot. Take on the
Courthouse first which the SRA did. Another recommendation was reinventing the Museum Place
Mall and Garage and how to cluster together with private and public partnership. It’s not a good idea
to focus on one property. The SRA has to drive the process for the RFP. Worried about the SRA’s
capacity and no time to take on another project. There are 3 developments going on downtown –
lots of activity – concerns by neighbors.
Councillor Turiel stated doesn’t mind having a discussion but we don’t own that property. There’s a
lot of development downtown. The crescent shaped lot will be next. Long term solution for the Mall.
We can’t make the SRA do anything. See how it all fits together. Would invite the SRA, Mayor,
Admin. And neighbors.
Councillor Furey stated that the SRA is the driving force. It’s their domain. They see the big picture.
We don’t wan another concrete jungle.
Councillor Sargent in favor of preserving sight lines, but supports a Councillor. This could lead to a
good discussion.
Councillor Furey assumes the chair.
