House prices have grown much faster than incomes since the mid-1990s.

Notes: Data for 1970 to 2010 is from Yates (2011). Data from 2010 is six-monthly growth in the residential property price index from ABS (2017c), deflated by the

  • CPI. Earnings data is full-time ordinary time earnings

from ABS (2017d), deflated by the CPI.

But Planning and Zoning can help.

  • Zoning has historically been “part of

the problem.”

  • But now it can be part of the solution

– by focusing on increasing supply of housing.

Difficult to Reconcile

  • Need more housing choices and housing

types to increase supply and therefore drive down costs

  • Love our neighborhoods so often don’t want

to change any character by increasing densities

  • More affordable single family housing in

neighborhoods often needs a lot of repair which is costly

  • Sprawl housing is often cheapest to build new
  • Sprawl leads to traffic, emissions, road work,

more costly

  • Concerns about street connections so silos

Downtown Density Tips and Tricks

31

  • Define your “downtown” – could it grow?
  • Subsidy programs help, but they can’t solve

the problem on their own. ü Don’t rely on them.

  • Form Based Code helps, but isn’t necessary

ü But mixed use zoning is ü Understand where mixed use is appropriate vs multi-family residential ü Give developers choices

AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND ZONING September 27, 2019

Downtown Density Tips and Tricks

32

  • Don’t limit density, regulate building heights/massing/setbacks

ü Reduce or eliminate rear yard setbacks

  • Ease any restrictions on upper floors

ü Work to prevent building code problems

  • Be intentional about building height

ü But don’t be shy ü Can be very specific – even block by block, or corner vs interior lots

  • Parking drives up costs

ü Limit or eliminate parking requirements if possible ü Consider paid parking

Integrating Missing Middle Housing into Residential Neighborhoods

CASE STUDY – CITY OF HOLLAND

  • 1. Are lot area minimums too large so many properties are not eligible for conversions
  • r new construction up to 4 units?
  • 2. How many existing multiple unit houses are on lots that meet the minimum lot area?

How many are nonconforming?

  • 3. What do other communities have as their minimum lot sizes for multiple units?
  • 4. Are the width minimums too limiting?
  • 5. Is it the character or the potential density that people have concerns about?
  • 6. Must there be a zone district that only allows single family?

  • Under consideration by many communities,

large and small

  • Allowing 2-4 unit buildings in “single family”

zoning districts, with controls ü Criteria for increasing number of units

  • Lot Size
  • Lot Location

(corner lots, non-dead-ends, etc)

  • Design Standards

ü Special Use Permit

“Missing Middle Overlay”

  • A. MM-1 Neighborhood Node. The Intent of the MM-1 sub-district is to allow the construction of mixed-

use commercial-residential buildings, as well as missing middle housing types such as quadplexes, duplexes, and garden courts, where appropriate.

  • B. MM-2 Quadplex. The Intent of the MM-4 sub-district is to allow up to four dwelling units on a lot,

provided that the lot is adequately sized and that the building and site have appropriate designs for the surrounding area.

  • C. MM-3 Garden Court. The Intent of the MM-3 sub-district is to allow the construction of “Garden

Courts,” i.e. clusters of one-and-two family dwellings sharing common open space and sometimes parking, on appropriately sized lots with appropriate design for the surrounding area.

  • D. MM-4 Bonus Housing Unit. The Intent of the MM-2 sub-district is to allow an additional housing unit
  • n otherwise single-family lots, in the form of an accessory dwelling unit or duplex, provided that the

design and function of the additional housing unit is compatible with the surrounding area.
