Letter: Bretton Woods
Measure L ballot language for the West Davis Active Adult Community (Bretton Woods) read as follows: (the city needs) “an adequate housing supply to meet internal city needs … 90% of the home sales will be limited to Davis-connected buyers.”
The city itself said this of the project: “The project proponent has elected to develop a ‘Davis-Based Buyers Program’ that would restrict sale of 90% of the for-sale residential units to households that include a Davis resident, family of a Davis resident, Davis employee, student or graduate of Davis schools, or similar connection. The Development Agreement requires the developer to develop requirements and procedures for the program that ensure that it is consistent with all applicable fair housing laws. The developer is still in the process of preparing program criteria, which must be submitted to the city prior to the issuance of any building permits for the project.”
