Description/Background:

 

Please review and become familiar with the attached memoranda.  It is especially important that you are familiar with the various development incentives and processes, as described in the "Tools, Tactics, and Incentives" memorandum attached to this agenda item.

Our community is at a critical juncture regarding housing. Addressing the diverse and evolving housing needs of our residents is paramount to fostering sustainable growth, economic vitality, and overall quality of life. This is the final workshop in a series designed to allow the council and mayor to collaboratively identify, prioritize, and strategize solutions for our housing challenges. By engaging internal stakeholders and leveraging expert insights, we aim to develop a robust, actionable plan that will guide our efforts in creating more affordable and accessible housing options for everyone in our community.

At Workshop 5 we will build consensus around the "who" and the "how" of the draft housing vision developed during Workshop 3. We will engage in a focused exercise to determine  how we should move forward in implementing the draft.

 

Further action to be taken:

Following Workshop 5, staff will produce a final report that will be delivered to the Council and Mayor.  The final report will serve as general policy direction for staff to begin implementing. Of course, there will be more questions for council and additional direction needed as code amendments are drafted and our land development code re-write begins.

 

Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:

Recommendation

Workshop 5 will require active participation form the council and mayor.
