Can the allowed height or density of sites with existing multi-family projects be increased to allow additional affordable housing in those existing projects?
Conceptually, yes. However, the City must provide information to the State to show that redevelopment of an existing site with increased density is truly feasible and practical. There are many structural and financial reasons why such redevelopment may not be feasible in the State’s eyes, so staff does not believe this is a significant source of housing opportunities.
