Impact analysis
No direct city cost, but the developer or a future HOA must fund open-space upkeep, seeded with at least $3,000.
Future Habitat for Humanity homebuyers in Fairdale gain affordable homeownership opportunities.
One planning commissioner and one public commenter worried denser 6,000-square-foot lots and drainage could strain the area.

Planning Commission — June 4, 2026
Habitat for Humanity wants to build 40 single-family homes plus two open-space lots on 7.9 acres in Fairdale, connecting Callie Drive to Mount Holly Road. Most homes will be market-rate, sold through Habitat programs that make them affordable (no down payment, low interest). It now goes to Metro Council for the final rezoning decision.
