Affordable Housing & Local Hiring
Affordable Housing: Mr. Lakireddy commits to
develop his project per the City’s recently adopted
Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Unit
Production Plan, which would require a minimum of
12.5% of the total proposed units be spread across
the Extremely Low, Very Low, Low, and Moderate
Income Levels. The affordable housing will be in the
first phase to take advantage of State density bonus
laws.
Local Hiring: Mr. Lakireddy’s goal is to hire local
contractors and workers to build and operate the
project. This is beneficial in that they are familiar with local permitting, inspections, and are less costly due
to not having to commute to the job site. Mr.
Lakireddy indicates his preference for using the same
local organizations in all phases of the project.
