What portion of the additional 1,800 dwelling units should be transferred from the rural areas of the County into Town? (These units would be in addition to what is allowed by current zoning)?

Alternatives

1.A. Prioritize the addition of all 1,800 units to Town (closest to status quo).

1.B. Add less than 1,800 units in order to balance housing goals with other desired goals.

1.C. Add none of the 1,800 units to Town.

Solution

Direction: The Council does not have a predetermined number of additional units in mind at this time. Most agreed generally with Alternative 1.B but some noted that they leaned toward either the ‘low’ or high’ end of the 0 to 1,800 unit spectrum. Instead of choosing a number of units, the Council provided its preliminary direction on where additional units would be appropriate in Town, as well as what types of housing are desired. Once staff provides an estimate on how many additional units the Council’s direction would likely generate, the Council will then reconsider and finalize its direction on how many of the 1,800 units should be located in Town.
