In Langley we KNOW we are in need of at least 30 low income housing units, right now. Has OH conducted a similar study?  Perhaps the VA should look at the realities of housing costs per square foot, in present day construction. Times change, regs need to follow. We've  put off min. wage hikes until the average tax payer is subsidizing the underpayment of millions of hourly workers, so Walmart & McDonald can artificially show more profit to their shareholders. You're asking Oak Harbor to partially "socialize" the risk, without the promise of enough actual "low income" units. I stand by my caveat of a developer over-profiting off a change from agricultural use to commercial/multi-family, unless the builder has to provide the "fair market" difference in the form of low-income rentals, or even "housing trust"-style loans, or down payment assistance to low income buyers, etc. Ask the development group for more low income units. If they balk, well...
