The city council will meet tonight to discuss potential changes to the affordable housing project on College Avenue.
Due to pressure from neighbors about the project's density, staff is considering lowering the number of family units from 45 to 36 and increasing the number of senior units from 30 to 40.
It appears the area residents would prefer low income seniors rather than low income families living in their neighborhood.
City staff estimates the proposed change would cost the city an additional $485,000, which likely would need to come out of the city's General Fund.
The city is on a tight timetable with this project as the deadline application for its main funding source is approaching on June 9. Due to this strict time line, a common complaint is that the project is "being shoved down our throats."
The meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the city council chambers.
