Of the 36 apartments, four will be one-bedrooms, 28 will be two-bedrooms, and four will be three-bedroom units. The proposal will replace a single dwelling unit. The developer has indicated they are undecided if units will be rentals or ownership units. The project application indicates three units will be affordable for residents earning between 55-80% of the Area Median Income.
