The Jamestowne Village ordinance would approve changing the property to the EMF23 Multifamily zone, and allow the property owners to build six additional buildings while providing 42 affordable housing units.

The Highland Park ordinance would extend an existing agreement on the 110-unit low-income senior apartment complex that allows the owners to make a payment in lieu of property taxes in exchange for the low-income rent restrictions.
