Council approves planned-unit development for 144-unit complex, majority workforce units
Summary
A planned-unit development creating design standards for a 144-unit apartment complex near East Holt Boulevard and Allen Avenue passed after a brief hearing; council noted roughly 140 units will be workforce-obtainable.
The council opened and closed the public hearing on a planned-unit development (file PUD24-002) for a 144-unit apartment complex on about 5.73 acres near East Holt Boulevard and Allen Avenue and moved to approve the ordinance. A council member highlighted that roughly 140 of the 144 units will be designated as workforce-obtainable housing.
Council framed the action as an investment in housing for working families rather than stigmatized "affordable housing," and noted the city is aiming to provide housing options that workers can realistically obtain given current wages and housing costs. The motion passed by voice vote 3–0 with Councilmember Macias abstaining due to a stated employment relationship with an applicant.
