Additionally, we have had some new substantial evidence come to light. In over 1,000 pages of this Case, nowhere are 35,00 – 40,000 sf “unassigned” “co-working” (non-apartment) spaces explained. State Density Bonus law requires proving that waivers enable affordable housing. The Off Menu Incentives and Waivers requested here are insupportable under Density Bonus law.
Failing to comply and failing to disclose the purpose of 35,000 – 40,000 sq feet of non-housing is grounds for project rejection; therefore, this project must be denied. This is irrefutable evidence of the manipulation and abuse of the Density Bonus Law, including unnecessary luxury amenities, which have nothing to do with the "No Net Loss", per unit replacement of 25 RSO units.
These sections of their plans are not “necessary” and are entirely unrelated to low-income housing. They cannot be used to justify waiver requests. The DCP omits these sections and fails to describe them in its Letter of Determination (LOD).
We have sent substantial evidence to the Planning and Land Use Committee (PLUM) and will bring it up during our case today.
Together we can win this.
Best,
