Commission schedules February concept review for workforce housing on Newlander
Summary
The commission set a February concept review for a proposed workforce housing project on Newlander that would include roughly 50 units and two commercial lots; the project is contingent on state funding and tax credits.
Staff told the commission that a developer will come for a February concept review of a proposed workforce housing project on Newlander. The concept includes roughly 50 residential units and two commercial lots at the front of a city‑owned parcel; the developer plans a community garden as part of the design and must secure state funding (tax credits) for the project to move forward.
Commissioners said the proposal will proceed only if state funding is awarded; staff expects to hear back in February about tax credit awards. If funded, the project would proceed to entitlement and further public hearings. The commission will provide initial feedback during the concept review to guide the formal application.
