INFORMATION: Following the Board of Aldermen approving the R-10 conditional rezoning of the subject properties, the developer has begun preparing a Conditional Use Permit application for the project. While doing so, staff met with the applicant and discussed their plans for the affordable housing component for the project. As the applicant desires to only include 25% size-limited units in the project, totaling 5 of 20, in accordance with LUO Section 15-188, it is necessary to participate in an affordable housing review meeting with the Board of Aldermen in accordance with LUO Section 15-54.1(e). On September 4, 2018, the Board referred the project to the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee for discussion at their September meeting. Comments from AHAC are attached for your consideration as Attachment A. During the rezoning public hearing, the Planning Board also made a recommendation regarding affordable housing, included as Attachment B. A statement from the applicant about the matter is provided as well as Attachment C.
