Veneta to use DLCD grant and consultant for Housing Implementation Plan and code audit
Summary
The Planning Commission heard that a DLCD grant will fund a Housing Implementation Plan and a development-code audit by Cascadia Partners; the work will include outreach, an advisory committee and recommended code amendments to enable housing production.
Associate Planner Daniel Findlay told the Commission that the City received a Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) grant to fund a Housing Implementation Plan (HIP) and a development-code audit; Cascadia Partners is the City's consultant for the project. The HIP will identify underserved households, needed housing types and a menu of strategies the City could take to facilitate production, affordability and choice.
Findlay said the code update begins with an audit to identify legal compliance issues and policy gaps, and the audit will lead to recommended amendments developed collaboratively with the Planning Commission, City Council, staff and an advisory committee (which will include representatives from housing development and the Planning Commission). He told the commission the process will include community outreach (a housing survey, open houses and participation in the Harvest Festival in September) and noted Cascadia Partners will attend the August meeting while LCOG is expected in September.
