City Council Approves Revised Arrow Linen Rezoning

The City Council's approval of the revised rezoning plan for the Arrow Linen site permits the development of two 10-story residential buildings, reducing the height from the initially proposed 13 stories. This decision followed a contentious year of community discussion, resulting in a legally binding Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) that ensures 40% of the units will be affordable for families earning around 60% of Area Median Income. Additionally, it includes provisions for community facilities, ensuring that local needs are considered alongside development goals, even as some community members express concerns about enforcement.

The approved revised rezoning plan for Arrow Linen will enable the construction of two 10-story buildings, increasing affordable housing while addressing community concerns.

With a Community Benefits Agreement in place, developers must maintain specific commitments regarding affordable housing levels, addressing some of the community's initial concerns over the project.
