Developer looks to bring more affordable housing to north Cheyenne | Local News

CHEYENNE ­– An Oregon developer is looking to bring more subsidized apartments to the north side of the city.

Commonwealth Development Corporation is pushing plans for a two-building, 41-unit development at 4306 Dell Range Blvd., which is just east of College Drive and north of Dell Range. The project received approval Thursday night for a conditional use on the property from the Cheyenne Board of Adjustment.

The development still needs to be rezoned and annexed into the city by the City Council, since the property is in a county pocket. The council’s Public Services Committee will hear testimony on those changes Tuesday.

The introduction of the three-story complex comes on the heels of a debate over a larger income-restricted development about 2 miles away.

Summit Housing Group got its rezoning request approved during Monday night’s City Council meeting for property east of Converse Avenue between Dell Range and Storey boulevards. Nearby homeowners had voiced their opposition to the proposed 72-unit complex, saying it didn’t belong in that neighborhood.

But Greg Hancock, Cheyenne Housing Authority’s executive director, said building affordable housing in north Cheyenne makes perfect sense.

The low-income housing built by the city is well-dispersed geographically, he said. But most of the privately built tax-credit housing is on the south side of the city because it used to have a special census designation offering developers greater tax benefits for serving an area with a high concentration of low-income residents.

“So now you have a preponderance of tax-credit rental housing on the south side of Cheyenne,” he continued. “And when you look at where retail jobs, restaurant jobs and other entry-level jobs are, it’s the Dell Range area that has those.”

Daryn Murphy, Commonwealth’s vice president of development, said his company chose the location because it had a willing seller and ready access to shopping and parks, in addition to the advantage Hancock mentioned.

“I think the north was attractive to us because there hadn’t been a whole lot of development up there,” he said.

The apartments – a mix of two- and three-bedroom units – would mostly house individuals or families with annual incomes between $20,000 and $30,000.

“I’d say folks earning $10, $12, $14 an hour would be living there,” Murphy said.

The ghost estates that still haunt Ireland

Image
A decade after the crash, Shannon Valley housing estate , on the outskirts of Ballaghaderreen, in Co Roscommon, remains unfinished and partly in ruins. Although the number of “ unfinished housing developments ” has fallen sharply since 2010, Shannon Valley is one of hundreds that still dot the country. The Guls: ‘Every day I put rats in the bin’ Fatima Gul says her little brother, Yousaf, doesn’t like the rats. He jumps up on the sofa or the table in the living room when they come into the house. Their parents don’t allow Fatimar, who is 10, or her nine-year-old sister, Maryam, or Yousaf and his twin, Zohra, who are five, to play near the houses on the other side of their green. It’s too close to the rats and the rubble. Shannon Valley “ ghost estate ” outside Ballaghaderreen, Co Roscommon.
