Right now, the developer has to get rezoning for 14 more units added to what’s been already approved.The developer said her goal is to create affordable units compared to the rest of the market, noting that a two-bedroom would be $1,495 a month. Gaffney said he will process what residents had to say about their concerns and potentially find solutions.
