County identifies two county‑owned sites as suitable for affordable housing
Summary
After a public hearing, the commission unanimously adopted a resolution identifying two county‑owned parcels (a 4‑lot site totaling about 0.667 acre assessed at $36,000 and a roughly 2‑acre block assessed near $106,920) as potentially appropriate for affordable housing and directed staff on next steps.
The board conducted a public hearing required under state law on the county’s inventory of properties that might be appropriate for affordable housing and adopted a resolution to add two county‑owned parcels to that inventory.
Planning staff described the first parcel as four lots at the intersection of Southeast 10th Avenue and Southeast 4th Street with a combined assessed value of $36,000 and a total area of about 0.667 acre; the second parcel is an entire block in the city totaling about 2 acres with an assessed value around $106,920. Staff recommended the board adopt a resolution identifying the lots as appropriate for affordable housing to make their availability known for potential projects.
The public hearing drew no comments and the board voted unanimously to close the hearing and adopt the resolution. Commissioners also suggested interim uses such as athletic practice fields until any property is developed and asked staff to coordinate recreational or interim uses as appropriate.
