Council advances RHID resolution for 8‑unit moderate‑income housing project
Summary
The council approved Resolution 2025‑19 to move forward with a multi‑step property tax rebate/refund process for a proposed four‑duplex (eight‑unit) moderate‑income project between Eisenhower and Washington streets; final approvals and an October hearing were noted as next steps.
The Baldwin City Council voted to approve Resolution 2025‑19, a procedural step that moves a proposed moderate‑income housing development toward a public hearing and potential final approval.
Russ Harding (staff) described the measure as the second resolution in a three‑part process that sets the city on course to schedule a final hearing in October. The applicant (speaker 9) addressed the council and said the project would consist of four duplexes (eight total units) between Eisenhower and Washington streets. The applicant said the project model has been used in Garnett and Ottawa and is designed to serve households at published KHIT/Kansas Department of Housing Resources income bands. “You can't live here unless you're within a 150% of the median income of the area or, 50%,” the applicant said, describing the eligibility rules in broad terms.
Councilmember (speaker 10) moved to approve Resolution 2025‑19. The motion passed on voice vote, advancing the application to the next procedural step; final approval would require later ordinance action and a public hearing.
