2 issues in development with medium priority
Ward 2 affordable tiny-home development proposal
Tera Sheriff wants to build affordable tiny rental homes near Metro Center, but neighboring Genesis and Light Center says rentals in the area have brought crime and blight and the community wants grocery and retail instead. The council couldn't untangle the dual PUD/R-2A motions and sent it back to the Planning Board.
