The consultant(s) will work with RiverCOG and up to 17 participating RiverCOG Member Municipalities, Land Use Staff, and Land Use Commissions to provide the following services: i) Assist municipalities in addressing the new requirement of allowing “Transit Community Middle Housing” Subject Only to “Summary Review” in all Commercial and Mixed-Use Zoning Districts. 1. Create draft regulations for “Transit Community Middle Housing” that would allow administrative approval by the new “Summary Review” process in PA 25-1. a. Include standards for density, height, setback, impervious surface, and other standards that would be desirable by municipalities for regulating residential uses. b. Establish, as needed, a “Summary Review” process and include standards for “health and safety” concerns to be used in project evaluation. 2. For portions of commercial zoning districts that are currently incompatible with “Transit Community Middle Housing,” recommend changes to better balance the needs of current and future uses.
