An application has been filed to amend the City's Zoning Resolution concerning affordable independent residences for seniors (AIRS) and affordable housing. This amendment proposes to increase the allowable floor area for these types of developments, aiming to facilitate the creation of more senior and affordable housing units across the city. The proposed changes are intended to address the critical need for affordable housing options for both seniors and general residents by providing incentives for developers through increased density. The modification seeks to streamline the development process for such projects and potentially reduce regulatory burdens.
