The Planning Board approved a site plan and variances for a 58-unit senior affordable housing complex on Esterbrook Avenue, contingent upon securing the use of 18 parking spaces at a neighboring church.
The developer of a proposed senior affordable housing complex would pay $150,000 to offset a parking deficiency of 17 spaces under an agreement introduced by City Council.
A revised concept for senior housing on Esterbrook Avenue would increase the number of units but squeeze parking below what’s required in the redevelopment plan.
City Council plans to authorize borrowing $2.6 million to acquire four properties on Esterbook Avenue to eventually develop a 60-unit senior housing facility.
