Density bonuses tied to affordable housing and parkland
Summary
The committee proposes letting developers build extra stories only if they deliver real public benefits — deeply discounted affordable units, parkland fees of $30,000-$45,000 per unit, or parking investments. Trustees also want data on the village's existing affordable housing stock and floated a resident-preference idea.

Impact analysis
Parkland fees could channel millions into village parks; affordability requirements shape how many below-market units get built downtown.
Lower-income residents needing affordable units, and park users if the fees fund upgrades like Avondale-area park improvements.
Developers, who would pay more or build affordable units to earn bonus height — costs that may be passed on to market-rate buyers and renters.
