Mayor Blackburn outlines housing strategies and planning commission rule updates; highlights Westside Urban Renewal District goals
Summary
In a brief update, Mayor Blackburn said the city discussed affordable housing strategies, updating planning commission rules to improve effectiveness, and goals for the Westside Urban Renewal District aimed at transportation, housing supply, trails and family demographics.
Mayor Blackburn said the city discussed several housing and planning matters in October, including affordable housing strategies, proposed updates to planning commission rules and goals for the Westside Urban Renewal District.
The mayor said the council “talked about various types of affordable housing and strategies to accomplishing those,” and also discussed updating planning commission rules “so that we can have, an effective planning commission.” She tied those governance changes to broader Westside Urban Renewal District priorities: improving transportation, increasing housing supply, expanding off-road trails and supporting family demographic goals.
The update did not include specific ordinance language, funding amounts for housing programs, or a timetable for revised planning commission rules. Mayor Blackburn presented these items as priorities and topics of recent discussion rather than reporting enacted policy.
The mayor closed the segment without announcing formal votes or next steps.
