Commission weighs housing numbers, asks staff to produce housing chart for the plan
Summary
Commissioners reviewed 2025 housing counts proposed for the town plan and directed staff to produce a housing exhibit/chart to clarify historical and current counts; one participant read proposed 2025 totals (295 total homes, 274 occupied, 21 vacant).
The planning commission debated converting the housing paragraph into a chart to make trends clearer to readers. Committee member (S2) proposed a concise housing exhibit and read proposed 2025 figures into the record: '2025 Kirby has a total of 295 homes, 274 occupied and 21 of it being vacant and 10% being rentals.' Several members agreed a chart (or Exhibit 8/8a series) would be easier to follow than paragraph form.
Members also discussed aligning housing text with other exhibits (parcel maps, zoning) and the need to renumber exhibits so references in the plan point to the correct charts. Staff were asked to assemble the housing chart and include an up-to-date 'most recent year' figure along with historical data in a single exhibit.
