aware of the project. City Administrator Plotz stated that the HRA
would be reviewing this project and had asked if they could make
their recommendation before the Planning Commission took action.

subsidized housing for moderate income levels. Rent would be based
on the tennant's income. It was the consensus of the Planning

rezoning would go back to C-4 zoning, they could make their
recommendation at this time.

unanimously. Mr. Erickson made a motion to recommend to City
