Gardens at White Mountain fee waiver
Summary
The mayor's office asked the council to waive roughly $250,000 in city fees for a 48-unit affordable housing project, but the council voted it down because the ordinance requires collecting the fees. A new ordinance creating a defined waiver process for affordable housing is on the way, with public input expected.

Impact analysis
About $250,000 in waived fees was not granted; utility ratepayers won't absorb that cost, but housing construction may still proceed.
Existing residents near Foothill Boulevard concerned about traffic and taxpayers concerned about budget pressure.
The housing developer loses a $250,000 cost break, and future affordable-housing builders wait for a clearer waiver process.
