Council approves 315 West Huron PUD and site plan with 15% on-site affordable housing
Summary
Council approved rezoning and a site plan for 315 West Huron, adopting PUD supplemental regulations (including a 10% short-term rental cap in the amendment) and a development agreement calling for full electrification and 15% of units at 60% AMI (~42 units).
Ann Arbor City Council voted Aug. 6 to approve a planned unit development (PUD) rezoning and related site plan for 315 West Huron Street, following council amendments and public comment.
Council members debated a substitution to the supplemental PUD regulations that would reserve no more than 10% of residential units for short-term rentals; Council member Briggs presented the change as a way to allow initial leasing flexibility while signaling the developer’s intent to provide permanent housing. Council member Dish summarized the development agreement and supplemental regulations, saying the project will deliver a fully electric building with a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom units and that "15% of those units ... will be 60% AMI affordable housing." Council discussion emphasized preserving the scale and sightlines to the adjacent Allmendinger building and providing public amenities including a Bicentennial Plaza.
After discussion and a voice vote on the amended zoning and the subsequent site-plan resolution (DS1), council approved the zoning substitution, the PUD rezoning, and the DS1 site plan and development agreement. The development agreement specifies on-site affordable units and sustainability commitments; staff noted the affordability term could be influenced by MSHDA financing and related options in later negotiation.
