Planning & Development Services staff is working on two projects identified as priorities by the City Council:
Occupancy Reform
Zoning for Affordable Housing
This page is the one-stop engagement page for both projects.
1. Occupancy Reform
Project Objective: Increase the number of unrelated people that can live in a home or apartment to increase affordable housing opportunities in the community.
Council Direction: Perform a comparative analysis from other communities, develop a model occupancy approach, and solicit community input for ordinance revisions.
Timeline: Staff plans to complete the project by August 2023.
2. Zoning for Affordable Housing
Project Objective: Amend the land use code in higher density zoning districts to provide flexibility for a wider range of affordable and attainable housing types. This could be done by reducing parking requirements or changing density calculations.
Council Direction: Evaluate the land use code with the intent of removing zoning barriers to more affordable units and smaller, modest-sized units.
Timeline: Staff plans to complete the project by September 2023.
