Norco council asks staff to explore task force to pursue affordable senior housing at 4th & Hamner
Summary
Council discussed creating a task force to seek affordable senior housing developers for two housing‑element sites near 4th & Hamner (about 19 acres combined); council directed staff to check consultant scope and return with options for membership and next steps.
Planning staff presented a discussion item on forming a task force to identify affordable and senior‑housing developers for two housing‑element sites near the northwest corner of 4th & Hamner (combined just under 19 acres). Councilmember Kevin Bash said he wanted the city to be proactive about senior housing—seeking options and architectural controls—rather than waiting for unsolicited, high‑density proposals.
Council members discussed potential task‑force composition (council members plus staff or consultants), consultant scope (whether the city's existing housing consultant, RSG, could assist), and staff workload. Several councilmembers expressed interest in participating; staff said they would check consultant contracts and report back with options for a task force, membership, and a proposed timeline. No formal vote was taken; staff will return with recommendations.
