The project design includes elevated outdoor plazas, enhanced landscaping along Capitol Boulevard, and a pedestrian walkway between the two buildings. Amenities within the development include a fitness center, clubroom, and communal gathering spaces.

No HUD funds will be used in the redevelopment. (6) Basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a lower-income dwelling unit for at least 10 years from the date of initial occupancy A Memorandum of Restrictive Covenants will be applied to the new buildings per the LIHTC regulations. Additionally, the City will sign a Ground Lease, ensuring that the housing will remain affordable for a minimum of 75 years. (7) Information demonstrating that any proposed replacement of dwelling units with smaller dwelling units (e.g., a 2-bedroom unit with two 1-bedroom units) is consistent with the needs assessment contained in its HUD-approved consolidated plan None of the proposed dwelling units are smaller than the existing units that have aged out of their useful life.
