Should the amount of commercial development potential in Town be reduced? If so, how?

Alternatives

5.A. We should keep commercial development potential at current levels (status quo). 5.B. We should try to reduce commercial development potential through incentives, but not require reductions. 5.C. We should allow the transfer of commercial development potential from one property to another.

Solution

Direction: Alternatives 5.B and 5.C: In mixed-use areas use incentives to encourage workforce housing to reduce commercial development where feasible. The transfer of commercial development rights from one property to another should be explored as well.
