City staff brief council on national housing tools and possible zoning changes to accelerate housing
Summary
City Project Manager and Housing Manager presented national housing practices and tools, suggested aligning the Master Plan with partner resources and discussed amending Land Development Standards and streamlining processes to facilitate housing growth.
City Project Manager Keegan Mackenzie-Chavez introduced Housing Manager Tammy Parker, who provided a briefing on national housing practices and partner resources relevant to Gallup.
Parker identified tools and technical/fiscal partners — including YIMBY, the Terner Center, Up for Growth and the National Low Income Housing Coalition — and explained how these resources could inform local planning. Discussion covered aligning an upcoming Master Plan with partner resources, amending Land Development Standards to facilitate housing growth, and streamlining development procedures to reduce barriers for stakeholders.
Council and staff agreed the presentation was informational and related to planning-level work; no ordinance or land-use regulation changes were adopted at the meeting, though Council asked staff to continue integrating these concepts into the Master Plan and to explore regulatory amendments where appropriate.
