111 Affordable Housing Apartments Proposed on Lucy Drive
Scott P. Rogers
The Woda Cooper Companies, out of Ohio, are requesting the rezoning of a 4.731 acre parcel on Lucy Drive to allow them to build affordable workforce apartments. The apartments would be targeted to households that have incomes between 30% and 70% of the Area Median Income. This apartment complex would not have any market-rate apartments (normal market rent) and would not have any student housing apartments.
A few other details from the proposal include:
- the exterior would be 50% brick and 50% fiber cement board
- the community would feature a 750+ SF community room and a playground for children
The buildings would include:
- (12) one bedroom apartments
- (74) two bedroom apartments
- (25) three bedroom apartments
For this development to move forward, the parcel (which is currently zoned R-3) would need to be rezoned to R-5.
The parcel in question is situated between B-1 zoned land and townhouses.
City staff recommends the approval of this rezoning, and next it will go before the Planning Commission for their review and consideration.
