The City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into development agreements with Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona for the sale and development of two vacant city-owned lots at 1305 and 1410 W. Polk Street, aimed at creating affordable housing projects. The residential lot at 1305 W. Polk Street will be developed into a three-bedroom, two-bathroom single-family detached owner-occupied home. The commercial lot at 1410 W. Polk Street will be rezoned residential and developed into a two-unit owner-occupied single-family duplex. All three residential units will maintain permanent affordability through land use restrictions, available to households with income levels not exceeding 80 percent Area Median Income. The Neighborhood Services Department will provide up to $150,000 in city assistance from HUD-funded programs to aid with development and homeownership assistance costs for the 1410 W. Polk Street project. The developer is expected to enter into a Sale and Development Agreement within six months, with an estimated construction completion of approximately 30 months for each project. This initiative aligns with the city's Housing Phoenix Plan to address the critical need for affordable housing.
