Example Policies • Modify residential zoning designations and development standards to align with city goals, and periodically assess the amount of housing produced under these standards. • Expand capacity for moderate density housing, i.e., "missing middle housing", in residential areas with low-density zoning throughout the city to increase home ownership and rental housing options. • Support the creation of co -housing, housing cooperatives, co -living buildings, and other types of housing that provide community -oriented housing alternatives for families, seniors, young singles, religious communities, or other groups with specific needs. Example Policies • Support the long-term preservation of existing naturally occurring affordable housing developments by acting as a facilitator between affordable housing groups interested in purchasing units and property owners. • Continue to develop relationships with populations that have been historically underserved and are at risk of displacement to better understand needs and risks. • Review and update development code to support production of housing types that provide relatively affordable homeownership options, such as middle housing (including townhouses) and condominiums. Discussion & Feedback • What should the City prioritize in housing decisions? • What is the most effective way for ESJ to provide input on housing and other planning issues? • How often would you like updates on housing and planning issues? • Any feedback or questions?
