Summary

On second reading the council adopted Ordinance 19-35 to amend the Centennial Valley GDP to permit permanently deed-restricted affordable multifamily housing on a 2.8-acre site at up to 37 dwelling units per acre and up to 45 feet (4 stories), enabling a proposed ~100 permanently affordable units targeted to households at roughly 30–80% AMI.

The council voted to adopt Ordinance 19-35, Series 2026, approving an amendment to the Centennial Valley General Development Plan that allows permanently deed-restricted affordable multifamily housing on Lot A (2.8 acres) at densities up to 37 dwelling units per acre and building heights up to 45 feet (four stories). Staff said the amendment explicitly requires permanently affordable units and would not permit market-rate development on that parcel.

Jeff Hurt of Community Development explained that the action would enable an approximate 100-unit, permanently affordable development proposed to serve households at about 30–80% of area median income and would satisfy the city’s Proposition 1-23 affordable housing commitment (staff noted the city’s commitment target of 77 units). Staff also explained the amendment is tied to broader planning in Centennial Valley and that units built on this site could be credited against inclusionary requirements on adjacent properties; the council passed the ordinance on second reading by roll-call vote.
