summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
The City’s mixed income housing ordinance was adopted on March 22, 2022. Since that time, several factors have resulted in staff determining that some amendments to this new regulation are desirable. These factors include:
(1) Experience using this ordinance for three residential projects (1700 Blount Road; Gateway Luxury Apartments and 2050 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd);
(2) Changes to the County’s 2.16.3 policy language limiting the city’s ability to adopt an expedited review process for projects using this policy;
(3) The need to allow an exemption for affordable homeownership projects anywhere in the City.
The Planning and Zoning Board unanimously recommended approval of the code changes at their hearing on January 25, 2023.
