A. Coordinate directly with each municipality in the development, adoption, and implementation of the selected reform(s) from the following menu of strategies: 1. Allow Accessory Dwelling Units and/or “missing middle” housing types as a permitted use in residential zones 2. Allow manufactured and/or modular homes where single-family detached homes are permitted 3. Create pre-reviewed design plans for “missing middle” housing types 4. Increase allowable density for housing by reducing minimum lots sizes and bulk standards to promote the development of compact housing 5. Increase building heights for multifamily housing/mixed-use developments 6. Establish an inclusionary zoning program to address affordable and workforce housing needs 7. Allow higher density, mixed-use with residential in commercial zones or employment centers B. Zoning and Regulatory Framework Analysis. Evaluate each participating jurisdiction’s regulations that impact new development, with a focus on identifying regulations or procedures that prevent the production of diverse housing options and mixed-use development. The certified Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, zoning, subdivision code, and permitting/approval processes are included in this review. 1. Permitted residential uses and conditional approvals by housing type. 2. Prohibitions and restrictions on factory-built housing or manufactured housing. 1. Land zoned and available for multi-family housing, or manufactured housing 2. Development standards (e.g., large minimum lot setbacks, higher parking minimums, higher open space requirements, etc.) 3. Public notification procedures. C. Identify opportunities to remove identified barriers, including but not limited to the strategy selected by the jurisdiction in their submitted resolution. D. Draft land use code amendments or regulatory changes necessary to implement the selected strategy based on that jurisdiction’s regulatory framework. E. Coordinate with the Planning and Zoning Commission, City/County Council, and the Housing Reform Committee to present draft amendments.
