ORLEANS Pennrose LLC is one month closer to getting approval to build 62 units of affordable housing at the site of the former Cape Cod 5 bank headquarters on West Road.
If the project is approved, Orleans will be that much closer to having 10% of its housing stock affordable. Currently, that number is at 9.33%, the highest on Cape Cod. Another 100 units will get the town to 10%.
Before all that can happen, the Zoning Board of Appeals will need to approve a comprehensive permit for the Chapter 40B project. There are no state permits required, though, nor does the Cape Cod Commission need to weigh in.
