Can affordable housing be scattered through the City in small projects (3-5 units)?
Projects of 30 units per acre can have very different design characteristics. For example, the senior housing project built by Novato Rotary along the west side of Redwood Boulevard, across from Trader Joe’s, NoVaRo3, is a two-story development, and is approximately 34 units per acre. NoVaRo2, also built by Novato Rotary on Olive, is approximately 38 units per acre. The senior housing at the Villas at Hamilton on South Palm Drive is 50 units per acre. Whole Foods at DeLong is 54 units per acre.
