The rezoning would permit about 159 units on the Sojourner Truth site and roughly 298 units replacing Mapes Court, totaling approximately 457 apartments. The plan includes many two- and three-bedroom family units. The Sojourner Truth portion would reserve 91 apartments for current Mapes residents, contingent on income recertification. The rebuilt Mapes Court would add a small number of units for formerly homeless households. A Mandatory Inclusionary Housing designation would secure long-term affordability for a substantial share of apartments. The board’s advisory vote increases political pressure as the rezoning enters the city’s land-use review process, with opponents citing unfulfilled relocation promises and alleged open housing violations at Mapes Court.
