Policy 1: Access to Housing: Increase the supply of housing and its diversity of location and types. Applicable action steps d. In neighborhood interiors that contain a mix of housing types from single family homes to apartments, allow new housing within that existing range. e. In neighborhood interiors farthest from downtown that today contain primarily single-family homes, achieve greater housing supply and diversity by allowing small- scale residential structures with up to three dwelling units on an individual lot.

Policy #1 supports the following Goals:

• 1. Eliminate disparities: In 2040, Minneapolis will see all communities fully thrive regardless

rooted disparities in wealth, opportunity, housing, safety, and health.

• 2. More residents and jobs: In 2040, Minneapolis will have more residents and jobs, and all

people will equitably benefit from that growth.

• 3. Affordable and accessible housing: In 2040, all Minneapolis residents will be able to afford

and access quality housing throughout the city.

• 9. Complete neighborhoods: In 2040, all Minneapolis residents will have access to

employment, retail services, healthy food, parks, and other daily needs via walking, biking, and public transit.
