Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of Ottumwa is a community of 25 thousand along the Des Moines River in southeast Iowa. The City recently adopted the 2022 Ottumwa Housing Plan with a goal of creating 500 units of housing before 2030. The Housing Plan found that the Ottumwa housing market experiences the so-called "missing middle" phenomenon where a lack of units affordable to middle income families forces higher earners to compete with lower earners for the same units, hurting both demographics. One approach proposed for addressing this missing middle is providing incentives and cutting red tape for middle-density infill development. This project would develop site plan prototypes to be approved by Council which could be constructed on any infill lot without variance or other approval. In addition to site plan prototypes, the City seeks to develop drawings, specifications and cost estimates for each site plan. As this would be a new product on the market, these materials would assist developers in taking on and financing projects. The prototype project was inspired by the Missing Middle Housing Types for Chattanooga report prepared in 2016. Additionally, local builders have identified design costs as an opportunity for closing the gap between what it what it costs to create single-family housing and what that housing can fetch at market. The City seeks to develop a set of drawings, specifications and cost estimates for single-family houses. These designs would be made available to builders to reduce design costs. Further, as these designs would already be reviewed, building permit fees would also be reduced or eliminated to account for completed plan review.
