Local Lens - A Deeper Dive into Local Issues

To help our city’s residents get more involved, we’ve set up a space where we can explore important topics that impact our community. This online space allows us to have Q&A sessions and take more time to think about these issues. Each Local Lens focuses on one specific topic that is currently being talked about in our neighborhoods, local Assembly meetings, or at the State level. We hold these sessions on Zoom and everyone is welcome to join in.

 

You can find our next Local Lens via our Facebook or by checking our Weekly Newsletter.

Missing Middle Housing

Monday, July 13 @ 6pm

 

Assembly Members Baldwin Day and Martinez recently announced their proposal to allow “missing middle” housing types — including duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, cottage courts, and townhomes — in targeted areas along key transportation corridors. The Missing Middle Housing proposal, AO 2026-85, refines the 2025 Transit Supportive Development Overlay (TSDO) proposal, which received public comment and was recommended for approval with amendments by the Planning & Zoning Commission last year, by aligning zoning regulations with the city’s adopted planning framework and encouraging incremental housing density in areas already served by roads, utilities, transit, and other amenities. The proposal also reflects the Assembly’s adopted economic development framework by supporting more efficient use of existing public investment, proactive action to address housing needs, and broader access to housing opportunity. Join us online to learn more and ask questions about the proposal.
