zoning updates just in Westside or citywide

Housing Needs

• Housing Needs Analysis
• Deficit of land for multifamily housing
• Need for a wider range of housing

“Missing Middle” housing types

• Evaluate allowing smaller lot sizes
• Identify opportunities for government‐subsidized

affordable housing

Housing – Zoning Strategies

• Increase housing capacity
• Existing zoning (Base Case) – 1133 new dwellings
• Draft Preferred Concept Plan – 1831 new dwellings (increase of 60%)
• Increase the amount of “missing middle” housing
• Base Case – 14% Multifamily; 9% Attached Single‐Family; 77% Detached Single‐Family
• Preferred Concept Plan – 45% Multifamily; 24% Attached Single‐Family; 31% Detached

Single‐Family

• Diversify the mix of housing in each neighborhoods
• Include Neighborhood Commercial sites to help reduce reliance on auto travel.
• Create walkable and connected neighborhoods to reduce reliance on auto

travel.

• Integration of land use with planned transit
• Reduction in cost per unit for infrastructure
• Support development of the County‐owned 2‐acre parcel for affordable

housing

• Potential code changes (e.g. affordable housing bonus, minimum density

requirements)

Housing – Additional Strategies

• Construction Excise Tax for affordable housing development
• Community land trust for affordable, owner‐occupied housing
• Advocacy for government (federal, state, local) subsidies for

affordable housing

• System Development Charge waivers or significant reductions

(example: 75% reduction)

• System Development Charges deferral to date of occupancy
• Property tax exemption for low‐income housing, non‐profit

corporation, multi‐unit housing, housing in distressed areas

• Property tax freezes on rehabilitated housing
• Affirmatively further fair housing
