Traverse City Housing Commission outlines workforce-housing plan for 314 E. 8th Street
Summary
The Housing Commission described a workforce-housing concept for the parcel assembled with the Land Bank, saying the project is likely to include about 43 units, 47 parking spaces and a planned application for low-income housing tax credits on Oct. 1; construction would depend on funding awards and subsequent site review.
Carl Fulmer, director of the Traverse City Housing Commission, told the Planning Commission that the agency has been assembling parcels near Coffee Central / Copy Central to create a site for workforce housing and that the project concept now includes about 43 units and 47 parking spaces.
Fulmer said the Housing Commission will apply for low-income housing tax credits on Oct. 1 and that, if awarded, construction would not likely begin until spring 2028. He acknowledged parking challenges at earlier projects, saying, “The biggest lesson learned at Parkview is don’t under-park a property,” and said the current project would aim for about one parking space per unit. Fulmer also noted plans to waive a driveway onto 8th Street in revised drafts, but said final driveway, engineering and safety details would be addressed during subsequent site-plan review and permitting.
