Notes

Public Comments
No general public comments were received under Item III.

Public Hearing Testimony
- Terri Yeckley: (representing herself and other residents) requested a 30-day delay in the vote (to January 20, 2026), citing insufficient time for review and a desire for more robust discussions with the developer. Residents reportedly learned of the proposal by discovering it on the City Council Meeting agenda.
- Tom Peterson: (1920 East Rodeo Walk Drive) expressed concern about the lack of meaningful communication, the financial burden of shared amenities on the HOA, and the impact on elderly residents. He supported affordable housing but requested additional time.
- Wade Budge: (representing Block E developer) opposed the delay, stating that deadlines had shifted to accelerate delivery of schematic and developed drawings, and that a 30-day delay would create additional risk and uncertainty.

Key Council Clarification
All six council members independently affirmed that the HOA/shared amenity concerns raised by residents are matters between the residents and the developer — not City issues — and that the vote on the Affordable Housing Agreement does not prevent continued resident-developer discussions.
