Lack of affordable housing in market-rate projects

Summary

Mayor Pro Tem Chang pressed why this project has no affordable units. The developer said for-sale affordable housing at 15 units per acre doesn't work without a subsidy — usually densities of 28-30 units per acre are needed. Chang suggested the city study affordable housing incentives as a possible strategic plan item.

Construction starts within about 8-10 months if permits go quickly, with the site also building the Moody Street frontage improvements — lanes, bike lanes, median, and a pedestrian crossing to the shopping center. Residents next door are bracing for dust, noise, and years of disruption.
