City staff: workforce‑housing developer aims to present Newlander concept to planning commission in early 2025
Summary
City staff reported a workforce‑housing developer has been working on a concept for a city‑owned lot (Newlander), expects to seek an initial planning commission concept review in early 2025, and said the project would depend on state funding and aim to keep the community garden on site.
City staff told the commission a workforce‑housing developer that previously expressed interest is preparing a concept plan for a city‑owned lot (Newlander) and hopes to bring that concept to the planning commission in early 2025 for initial review.
The staff member said initial conversations have them keeping the community garden on site and that the concept has been refined to meet density requirements; “They have actually gone through and started looking at a concept for that site and are ready to, essentially, bring that to Planning Commission for at least initial review in, early 25,” the staff member said. Staff emphasized the project is contingent on the developer securing state dollars and noted the city may be asked to pass a resolution of support if the developer pursues county or state funding.
Staff asked the commission to expect an early‑2025 concept review and said the developer is still finalizing analyses and funding requests. No formal application or council decision was reported at the meeting.
