Collection of 440 projects across the County
and Seven Cities
Considered Housing Efficient if area has: ➔Transportation Access➔Water Capacity➔Wastewater Capacity Project Prioritization considered:
(1) if project is needed for new housing,
(2) benefit/cost (investment cost per additional potential housing units served),
(3) barriers to development

Funding Priority Infrastructure
Current Findings:
●Assessed the list of HIP projects to determine estimate of funding requirements ●Map of funding needs to prioritized projects
●List of existing grant funding opportunities
Next Steps:
●Create funding hierarchy based on suitability for each HIP project ●Develop grant calendar with deliverable and submission schedule ●Identifying other broad based funding mechanisms
●Calculating funding gap for each HIP project
●Proposing strategies to bridge the funding gap
Rental:Market is close,
regulatory change could help
ABD is possible with smaller units
and cost-effective development
For -Sale: Market not close,
longer -term approach needed
Increasing housing production
overall can help bring supply and
demand into balance, make ABD
achievable over the longer term
Affordable -by-Design Study
Study Elements:
●Identified common physical
characteristics for ABD housing
●Financial feasibility analysis of
“prototypical” development
examples that could work in
regions
●Identified regulatory barriers to
development of ABD housing
●Highlighted potential policy
measures to support ABD
housing
Next Steps:Deeper analysis of up to 6 policies and localized implications
➔Streamline development review and permitting
➔Align development standards to support ABD housing
➔Allow ABD housing in cost -effective locations
➔Adjust fee rates and policies to incentivize ABD housing Potential Policy Options
Study will include a menu of possible policies for consideration:
