Keystone Explains Downtown Proposal in Waukesha

The Waukesha Freeman reports that Keystone Development explained their proposal to the City of Waukesha Plan Commission. 

I have to say, for a City that swore to follow the Ad Hoc Housing Mix Commission recommendation of 65 % Single-family Housing to 35% Multi-Family Housing (it's 55%/45% now), they were surprisingly receptive. Or perhaps it's okay if you're above 62, which isn't really fair to younger people, especially if those new elderly-only housing units are applied to the housing mix ratio. I previously discussed the Housing Mix recommendations in the latter part of this post in which I noted that a proposed apartment for students seemed to receive far less scrutiny.  I hope this does not mean that the City of Waukesha will be selectively enforcing the Housing Mix recommendations.
