Title
Update of housing initiatives and Council consideration of policy direction for four potentially impactful housing activities.
Body
Presented By: Liz Webb, Housing Coordinator
Recommendation and Review
Over twenty actions were recommended in the Comprehensive Housing Assessment and Market Study in 2021. Among them, City Council identified three priorities (fee waivers, tax abatment, and identifying city-owned assets). Housing was also identified as a key issue in the surveys and community conversations associated with ARPA.
Based on the existing resources and policy landscape, four policy options have been identified as having potential for implementation in the relative short term, with varying degrees of difficulty and resources needed to implement, and direction necessary from City Council.
