Commissioners probe restrictive covenant: 30 prioritized workforce units, vacancy rules explained

Oct 8, 2026

Commissioners pressed applicants and counsel on whether workforce protections apply only to 30 restricted units or across the site, and how vacancy/appeal rules work; staff explained a recycling wait-list and lease-replacement rules intended to preserve workforce priority while avoiding long vacancies.

The full story

Commissioners questioned whether the restrictive covenant tied to the project applies solely to the 30 units designated for workforce priority or to the broader property. The applicant described the 30 units as explicitly tied to the covenant governing priority leasing and the workforce-housing overlay, saying those units are intended as long-term rental product: "That's explicitly for the 30 restricted units because that is what our restrictive covenant governs." (SEG 070–072).
