What Middle Housing, Accessory Dwelling Units, and Unit Lot Subdivisions are.
- What Middle Housing, Accessory Dwelling Units, and Unit Lot Subdivisions are.
- What each law requires, and what parts the City has local choices on.
- Proposed zoning strategies to address these laws, while minimizing impacts on residential areas.
Your thoughts and feedback are requested on the following topics:
- What six of nine Middle Housing types should be allowed. Options are duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, fiveplexes, sixplexes, townhouses, cottage housing, courtyard apartments, and stacked flats.
