Summary
A developer wants to build a workforce housing complex (half affordable, half market rate) on the East Side, needing a denser zoning than staff supported. Commissioners sided with the project, saying quality workforce housing benefits the city, but flagged that the zoning case should land at a lower MF-25 density.
