Darigold proposals focus on rentals; parking and inclusionary units flagged as constraints
Summary
Staff said Darigold (downtown) proposals were rental-focused with large unit ranges (60–120), and highlighted parking and infrastructure as primary feasibility risks; staff recommended timing that RFP later in summer to resolve parking issues.
Staff told council that Darigold proposals were largely rental-focused and spanned a wide unit-range, with proposals that could reach roughly 60–120 units and a mix of studios through multi-bedroom units. John Roberts said several proposals included market-rate units at 80%–120% AMI alongside a smaller share of deed-restricted units at 60% AMI, describing the site as likely to rely on inclusionary approaches for affordability.
Parking constraints and right-of-way or sewer-lateral issues were repeatedly identified as key feasibility risks for Darigold, and staff recommended further county coordination on parking before issuing the RFP. Roberts said because of downtown parking complexity it is more realistic to issue Darigold's RFP in July or August rather than together with Customs House.
