40 Unit Housing Development Approved On Erickson Avenue
Scott P. Rogers
City Council recently approved a special use permit to allow for 40 apartments to be built on 1.93 acres on Erickson Avenue... adjacent(ish) to the Walmart Super Center.
Read all about it over in the City Council meeting documents here.
Here are some of the high points...
- The (40) apartments will all be efficiency apartments (no bedrooms) or one bedroom apartments.
- The developer only plans to include 0.5 parking spaces per unit as they anticipate many prospective tenants may not have vehicles requiring parking.
- The apartments will be built in two buildings, each having three levels.
- All apartments will be targeted to tenants at 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) or below.
- The developer might not build the apartments immediately and has requested a 48 month period to begin construction to allow for applications to be submitted for state funding projects being considered for the project.
- The site is in close proximity to a grocery store, pharmacy, department store, a medical and dental clinic and a bus stop.
Here's the proposed site layout...
