Staff previews 18-month development-code rewrite and housing workshops
Summary
Community Development Director James Sorensen told the commission staff has shortlisted consultant teams for a roughly 18-month development-code rewrite; he also said council workshops on housing policy are ongoing and may accelerate some code changes before the full rewrite.
Community Development Director James Sorensen updated the commission on next steps following the general-plan work: staff has narrowed consultant candidates and expects to begin a development-code rewrite that will run about 18 months. He characterized the effort as an administrative selection process and said staff — not council — will likely finalize consultant selection soon.
Sorensen also said a series of housing workshops with council is nearing completion and that the council may ask staff to move more quickly on code changes in select areas rather than waiting for the full rewrite. He encouraged commissioners to expect meetings in November and December and noted the city will coordinate timing with council direction.
