Gardens at White Mountain
Description
A 48-unit deed-restricted affordable housing project seeking a waiver of about $250,000 in city fees; construction bids came in $2 million over budget. The council tabled the waiver request to develop a fair evaluation process.
Impact summary
The City Council denied it on Sep 1, 2026.
The project can still move forward if the developer closes its funding gap, but without the fee break; future affordable-housing projects may get a clearer waiver path.
