Jericho DEI Committee hears update on small-scale housing working group
Summary
Committee member Susan Kasser summarized the small-scale housing ("Mobile Home") working group's discussions on smaller dwellings, lot sizes and housing density; members discussed options but made no formal decisions.
The Jericho Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee on May 11 heard a summary from Susan Kasser about the town's small-scale housing working group, sometimes informally referred to as the "Mobile Home working group." Kasser said the shorthand label does not fully capture the group's scope and outlined ongoing conversations about smaller dwelling types, lot sizes and housing density.
Committee members discussed trade-offs related to lot size and density and exploratory options for accommodating smaller housing types in Jericho. No formal proposals, votes or policy changes were made during the discussion.
Members framed the conversation as exploratory—reviewing possibilities and constraints rather than advancing a specific recommendation. The committee did not cite any specific zoning text, ordinance, or funding source during the update and asked for continued work by the smaller working group.
Next steps: members will continue to monitor the working group's work and incorporate findings into future agenda items as appropriate; no timeline for a formal recommendation was specified.
