With 52 affordable units (15% of total) for low- and moderate-income residents, the project breaks zoning limits via a special overlay. The hotel will have its own entrance, and developers pledged to study bike lane upgrades amid concerns about flooding and cyclist safety — even though parking isn’t required. Architects clarified the hotel rooms are designed for long-term stays, not short-term rentals. Despite one dissenting vote and pushback over affordable housing volume, the board approved 8-1 — with some members calling for more affordable units.
