Community Outreach

Staff is currently working on developing the code for 'Middle Housing' as well as a permanent ordinance for the 'Neighborhood Centers and Hubs'.

This page shows the upcoming community engagement activities/ opportunities. 

Online Open House – Thursday, March 13, 2025 (6:00-7:30 PM)

The Online Open House will provide an overview of:

  • Providing small-scale commercial and multifamily opportunities in newly defined Neighborhood Centers and Hubs; and
  • “Middle housing” options (based on a state requirement to allow at least two units per lot in all residential zones).

The session will include presentations on project milestones and an interactive Q&A.
