The project includes three 3-story buildings, a community garden, and a playground. The development aims to address the shortage of affordable housing in the Portland neighborhood. Key conditions include providing a detailed landscaping plan with native species, maintaining a minimum of 60% green space, allocating 100% of units for households earning 60% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI) for a minimum of 30 years, and contributing $50,000 to the Louisville Affordable Housing Trust Fund.
