Councilor: River Terrace 2.0 to include about 4,200 homes, with affordability a stated goal

City Councilor Tom Anderson told residents that one of the council’s primary goals for River Terrace 2.0 is housing and affordability. "About 4,200 homes are expected with a range of housing types and price points, including affordable housing and starter homes," Anderson said, framing housing variety and affordability as central to the plan.

Anderson also highlighted the importance of nearby business areas and services so residents can "walk or roll to places like a neighborhood coffee shop, grocery store, or daycare." The council’s stated priorities emphasize both housing supply and neighborhood amenities; the transcript records the goals and targets but does not provide supporting studies, detailed affordability definitions, or funding sources.
