Citywide Multifamily Housing Proposal Information Sessions

The City Council is discussing a proposed set of changes to allow multifamily housing in all neighborhoods of the city. 

The proposal has these main goals:

  • Allow multifamily housing (such as apartments and condos) in all neighborhoods of the city.
  • Allow residential buildings of up to 6 stories in all neighborhoods and districts of the city.
  • Remove other requirements that make it more difficult to build multifamily housing, such as minimum lot sizes, limits on the number of housing units and amount of floor area.
  • Continue to encourage the creation of permanently affordable housing through the inclusionary housing requirements and Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO).

The Community Development Department is hosting two information sessions for members of the public to learn about the proposal and provide their input.
