City to start housing study in August to quantify 'missing middle' needs
Summary
Staff told the commission the city received a grant to fund a housing study starting in early August that will provide sales and inventory data to guide policy on missing‑middle housing types and price points.
City staff told the joint session that a grant has been secured to fund a formal housing study that is scheduled to begin in early August and will supply sales and inventory data to inform comp‑plan decisions.
"We have a housing study that we've received a grant to fund the entire housing study that should kick off in the beginning of August," a staff member said. Commissioners said the study should help quantify whether Rogers lacks 'missing middle' housing types such as townhomes, quads and other smaller ownership products and to move discussions from assumption to data‑driven policy.
Staff said the housing study will provide digestible sales and inventory information that staff can translate into policy options and zoning recommendations. Commissioners directed staff to incorporate the study results into future conversations about design standards, lot sizes and utility extension planning.
