Mr. Anthony said there has been no “conspiracy” with the Planning Department, and the proposing team has used paid consultants but no lawyers. Mr. Anthony was not a leader on Expanding Housing Choices but thinks it has been good for Durham. The Planning
Commission created a subcommittee to work on the proposed text amendment; the subcommittee has been making a lot of changes and will bring the proposal back in December. The text amendment has a lot of pieces, and the proponents gave details on only the big
pieces. Some of the issues they wanted to address are that entry-level houses aren’t being built, small business are not able to own their own premises, and the process is complex for simple projects, making small projects too risky. Some of their solution
include eliminating minimal parking requirements, creating a commercial infill code to make neighborhood commercial mixed-use more feasible (which would create more commercial spaces for small business), and allowing affordable housing to break up the ownership
of what would be an ADU/duplex complex. Responses from the audience included:</span></p>

the tenant issue that has been in the news. ERA is a community land trust, protecting land for a number of reasons; they have been around a long time. Mostly they buy land and transfer it to entities like State Parks, supporting a continued increase in the
property of the state parks. On Open Air Camp Road, they bought 8 parcels of land, 7 of which had single family houses, over 25 years ago, intending to turn those properties over to the park when conditions were right; those properties are in the long-term
plans for the park. In the interim, they have been using a property management company to manage the rental of the houses. The rent on the houses was very affordable and the tenants had the impression that they could stay in those houses indefinitely. State
Parks had a windfall of money to add to parkland, and the Eno River Association was going to transfer the properties to the Parks, which wanted to have some of the houses for their staff. The abruptness of the end of the ability to live in the houses has
been very upsetting to the tenants; ERA has been listening to families and extending the leases (rent-free) and generally trying to work with the tenants. Jessica’s contacts are

on bikes in the streets. They are concerned about Duke putting a parking structure there. Duke wouldn’t need to do a traffic study if they got the rezoning approved (with SCAD, there would be no more traffic studies for anything). The overall zoning request
has been split into a East and West part, and Duke has dropped one property in Crest Street area and another Burch Avenue property. Richard asked INC and individual neighborhoods to make comments (using Planning’s comment site). </span></p>
