Santa Cruz
Description
The 40-unit project approved in 2024 was modified to 47 units in a rectangular five-story building with 107 bedrooms, three concessions and three waivers, plus an alternative inclusionary approach using co-living bedrooms. Council approved it 6-0 after removing the streamlined tenant selection concession.
