Confirm Henley resolution status before relying on city support

Applies if: You are affected by or competing with the Henley application

Context: The 2026-02-11 council action on The Henley (228 units, 4% Non-Competitive tax credits) was a hold, not an approval, and the matter status remains deferred with only a 'monitor for separately scheduled return' next step.

Recommended: If you are a competing or partnering applicant for state housing tax credits nearby, confirm with city staff whether the Resolution of No Objection was ever adopted. The item was held, so the applicant may lack local support documentation for its state application.

Ask why Henley affordable housing hearing was held

Context: On 2026-02-11 the City Council held the public hearing and the Resolution of No Objection for Cohen-Esrey Development Group's 7535 University Hills Boulevard project under advisement, with no stated reason or return date.

Recommended: Request the council briefing materials and any correspondence explaining why the 228-unit Henley tax credit hearing was held rather than decided. Without that, the public cannot tell whether the delay stems from neighborhood objections, applicant changes, or deadline pressure on the state application.
