Impact analysis
About $558,000 flowing to the city's housing trust, plus more tax revenue from three additional units.
New residents get smaller, somewhat more affordable units; the neighborhood keeps a retail anchor like the former Aurora Provisions space; the housing trust gains $558,000.
A neighborhood architect argued the design uses cheap materials inappropriate to the historic district and that the neighborhood gains little beyond the developer's profit.
