How will the Code Reform affect housing issues?

A development code has a direct influence on the growth, shape, and affordability of housing. The code sets limits on the types of housing that can be built in different locations, how large a building can be, and how many homes can be on a given site. These rules were put in place for a purpose. But in some

cases, they may unnecessarily constrain the ability to provide housing the community needs. During the code update process, the City will check how the current code affects housing development, recommend changes to remove unnecessary barriers, and encourage housing that meets high priority needs.
