January 22,2019 Page 2 of 9 requirements of the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. She commented per the 2030 Comprehensive Plan the Met Council states the City must have 164 more units of low-income housing. She reported this same requirement was applicable in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. She questioned why the Mayor and City Council was supporting a development that would have 200 affordable senior housing units and 154 affordable apartments. She explained this would bring 354 affordable housing units into the City of New Brighton, which was 194 more units than was required by the Met Council.
