Fee waiver for Gardens at White Mountain affordable housing
Summary
A developer asked the city to waive about $250,000 in fees for a 48-unit affordable housing project facing a $2 million budget gap. Councilors worry about setting a precedent and shifting costs to ratepayers, but acknowledge the need for affordable housing. The request was tabled while the city develops a fair process for such asks.

Impact analysis
About $250,000 in foregone city fee revenue, part of a $2 million project funding gap.
Future low- and moderate-income renters if the 48-unit project ultimately proceeds.
Taxpayers and utility ratepayers would effectively absorb the waived fees, and nearby residents fear added traffic on Arthur Avenue.
