Agenda Item 4: 2016 Draft Master Plan Housing Chapter – Review/Discussion
G. Jones noted that the draft of the Master Plan Housing chapter had been sent to the members electronically. He offered to make hard copies for any member wanting one. G. Jones asked all members to review and make comments on the draft to move it forward towards adoption.
G. Jones asked the Board for direction on how to use the rest of the 2016 budget allotted for Master Plan review. He noted the current balance to be about $1,800.
T. Moore suggested that some of the budget be used to update the Build Out Analysis for inclusion in the Housing Chapter. He noted that the Master Plan Housing Chapter focuses mostly on housing stock, while the Build Out Analysis would focus on unused land and how many more units could be built. T. Moore offered that this analysis was important for planning future service such as police, fire and medical. He noted that the Housing Chapter could be finished and the Build Out Analysis added later.
G. Jones offered that he would get an estimate from Mark Fougere for the Build Out Analysis.
