The housing must be provided within the next three -to -four years; however, there are very few vacant residential sites available within the City on which to develop housing.

Therefore, it is essential to purchase infill residential properties as they become available in order to produce additional housing.

The subject properties, shown on Exhibit 1, encompass 17,705 square feet of land and contain two industrial buildings totaling 9,120 square feet in size. Once the buildings are demolished, development of this property will be in compliance with the Agency's replacement and inclusionary housing obligations and will be designed in a manner that will enhance the surrounding neighborhood. The subject property is within the boundaries of the Logan Neighborhood Association, and this acquisition is intended to support the neighborhood's efforts to recycle commercial land to residential uses.
