Staff says county inclusionary guidance would yield roughly 8% rental and 12% for‑sale affordable units; no rezoning applications yet
Summary
Staff clarified affordable‑housing expectations under county policy (about 8% for rental multifamily units and 12% for for‑sale units) and said Phase 2 is a planning scenario — there are currently no rezoning applications for the remaining parcels; staff invited feedback before hearings.
During Q&A staff responded to a chat question about how many units would be provided as Affordable Dwelling Units (ADUs) or Workforce Dwelling Units (WDUs). A county planner said the standard recommendation is about 8% affordable units for rental multifamily buildings and about 12% for sale buildings under WDU guidance. Staff emphasized this guidance is the county’s policy recommendation and that actual numbers on any future project will depend on the specific proposal and applicable zoning rules.
Staff also reiterated that Phase 2 is a conceptual plan amendment to provide flexibility for future rezoning; there are no current rezoning applications for the remaining sites in Land Unit K. They encouraged the public to submit feedback during the comment period so staff can consider changes before the hearings.
