In November, the council approved a Plan Development District rezoning for the four-story, 203-unit Flats at Bishops Woods. Their 8-6 vote meant that, as long as developers stayed within established PDD guidelines, there's no legal basis for the project to be rejected for final approval. Real estate developer Lincoln Avenue Capital's final plans for approval were considered at the council's Jan. 17 meeting, but Ald. Kris Seals' controversial objections strayed from the proposal and violated over a half-century old legislation. [emphasis added]
The Flats at Bishop's Woods, funded by a state grant at no cost to the city, will offer workforce housing priced at $400 less than the city of Brookfield’s average. Housing qualifies as "affordable" when its cost doesn't exceed 30% of a household's earned income, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
