The presentation highlights the project's contribution to affordable housing in the district and compares it to existing affordable units.

  • The district currently has 271 affordable housing units, which is noted as a high number compared to other city council districts
  • The proposed project would add 54 new affordable units to the district
  • The speaker commends Council Member Schulman for her efforts in creating affordable housing in the district
  • There's a brief discussion about potentially additional affordable units from a recent development (Tower Diner site) that may not be included in the current count

The council member's district here, this slide shows has 271 affordable housing units.
0:10:07
Of all the land use applications that I make to the city council, this is one of the higher numbers that I've seen in the entire city.
0:10:13
Most of them are in the single digits.
0:10:15
So the council member has done a very good job of creating affordable housing within the district and this would add to it.
0:10:21
Right now, there are 271 units and we're gonna add an additional 54.
0:10:26
So and you could see on the top right of this map all the different units that have been created.
Lynn Schulman

Eric Palatnik
0:10:34
You know, I'm doing the math right now in my head while
Lynn Schulman
0:10:36
you're saying that where the Tower Dyna was that new
Eric Palatnik
0:10:40
No.
0:10:40
You're talking about 9881 Michael Abramovshov.
0:10:43
No.
0:10:44
I don't know if it does.
0:10:45
Yeah.
0:10:45
So there's probably
Lynn Schulman
0:10:46
So that'll be more.
Eric Palatnik
0:10:46
Yeah.
0:10:47
Which is really impressive.
0:10:48
Mean, to to revert from the presentation.
0:10:50
I cannot tell you enough.
0:10:51
Everybody says they want affordable housing.
0:10:54
Every time I walk in with most of my applications and staff testing this, there's none in most other districts.
0:10:59
So you're creating it and it's it's to be applauded.
0:11:01
Because as you could see from 9881, as soon as it went up, it's leasing right up.
0:11:05
People are eager for it.
0:11:07
Everybody's everybody loved the Tower Diner, but everybody also loves that there's housing available.
0:11:11
This gives you the next page, please.
0:11:13
Gives you the breakdown of the affordability units.
0:11:15
It's everything we just spoke about, so I'm not gonna go there.
0:11:18
