Housing
6.2
Update the UDC to allow a more diverse housing stock. This should include a combination of allowing smaller lot sizes and related development standards, allowing certain types by right in specific zoning districts (mixed-use and multifamily development in retail and office zones and ADUs within certain zoning districts), and providing applicants with tools for more efficient implementation. Continue to regularly update the City’s water and wastewater impact fees, specifically when new capacity is brought on to areas that were not a part of a previous fee adjustment or in alignment with future annexation policies. Update the UDC to allow for authentic commercial districts through appropriate façade massing, increased walking, storefront visibility, and reserved corners for retail instead of office or residential lobbies. Update the UDC to allow for shared parking, structured parking incentives, and complete sidewalk design. Create design guidelines that ensure that employment centers are developed with lifestyle amenities (walkability, greenspace, on-site or nearby retail, etc.) that attract highly skilled, high-income workers. Provide UDC amendments to clarify and allow murals on a variety of buildings, fences, and structures.
