Salida City Council approved transfer and conveyance of real property located at the corner of M Street and W. Third Street to the Chaffee Housing Authority after a public hearing at its regular meeting Tuesday.Â
The area is to be used in the development of six affordable housing units, for sale or rent, to households earning at or below 80 percent of the Area Median Income.Â
Council had already rezoned the area to R-2 medium density residential district and vacated a portion of Crestone Avenue.Â
Council member Mike Pollock was the only dissenter. He said he supports the Chaffee Housing Trust and said it was a good project. However, he said, âI like this project, but I think it could have been a little simpler.âÂ
