Member questions shift focus: is parcel count the whole solution to housing goals?
Summary
Some members pressed the working group to tie parcel counts to the Board's charge on socioeconomic access to housing and workforce needs, arguing data alone does not mean action is unnecessary.
During discussion about the parcel inventory, Committee member (Speaker 4) pushed the group to return to the Board of Supervisors' charge: to use the strategic plan to pursue economic growth and housing options "for all ages" and for the county workforce. He asked whether the inventory should be interpreted to mean the county already has enough lots or whether the group must still develop policy options.
"Is the purpose of the exercise to say that it is in your opinion that we have enough lots that we don't need to do anything?" Committee member (Speaker 4) asked. Other members said the inventory complements earlier work on accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and other regulatory changes and that the working group must still consider how to make housing attainable for teachers, deputies and other local workers.
