Item No. 23 <br />memo�andum <br />TO: Mayor & Council <br />FROM: Janice Ellis, City Clerk <br />SUBJECT: DEVELOPMENT OF HOUSING IN PARIS <br />DATE: March 5, 2013 <br />BACKGROLTND: Mayor Hashmi has requested this item be placed on the agenda for a <br />presentation and discussion of development of housing in Paris. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: There have been a significant number of permits issued for new <br />construction of businesses, but not for residential construction. Taking into consideration the <br />number of people that will begin working at Skinner or returning to work at the plant, the City <br />needs to ensure there is adequate housing in Paris. In order to attract developers and builders to <br />construct new homes, we need to identify areas for residential development and consider a <br />reduction or waiver of fees for permits and other applicable services. <br />BUDGET: NA. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Provide direction to staff. <br />f9 <br />
