Summary

Planning Director Joshua Smith said the Housing Capacity Analysis grant has not been finalized by the State; once approved the City and its consultant will begin required analysis and the City hopes to start a land use code audit to address recent state law changes.

Joshua Smith told the Planning Commission that the Housing Capacity Analysis (HCA) grant remains unfinalized by the State and that work cannot begin until the grant is finalized. He said that, once the State finalizes the grant, the City and its consultant will begin the required analysis.

Smith added the City is hopeful it will engage the same consultant to perform a land use code audit because recent changes to state land-use law mean "most if not all local city codes need amendments." No timeline or contract details were provided at the meeting.
