Extend Point Molate development proposal deadline and modify housing requirements
In Plain English
The city is giving developers more time to submit proposals for the Point Molate site and changing two key rules. If approved, no housing can be built on Drum Lot 2, and two-thirds of all residential units must be affordable housing. The city will hear presentations from developers in February.
