Table 2: Growth Accommodation in Developed Communities <br />Policy 3: Encourage expanded choices in housing location and types, and improved access to jobs and <br />opportunities. <br /> <br />Council Role <br />· Use regional system investments and incentives to help developed commnnities maintain and preserve the <br /> existing honsiug stock and to add new higher density housing that responds to changing demographic and <br /> market trends. <br />· Maintain and expand existing regional infi'astructure to adequately support reinvestment. <br /> <br />Commnnity Role <br />· Plan for and guide infill development, redevelopment, and adaptive reuse of structures to diversify housing, <br /> connect housing and jobs, and integrate new development into existing neighborhoods. <br />· Adopt and pursue reinvesunent strategies to achieve iV1LPA/LCA housing goals. <br />· Encourage the preservation of existing neighborhoods and expansion of housing choices within the city.. <br />· Adopt ordinances to increase lifecycle and affordable housing (examples: increased multi-fmnily use, redhced <br /> front and interior setback requirements; cluster development ordinances). : <br /> <br />Policy 4: Work with local and regional partners to conserve, protect and enhance the regio,'s vi,.tal ffatural <br />resources. <br /> <br />Council Role <br />· Suppor~ the reclamation of contaminated lands for redevelopment and restore natural resources. <br />· Work with communities to implement best management practices to control and treat stormwater as <br /> redevelopment opportunities arise. <br /> <br />Community Role <br />· Approve and permit projects designed to reclaim contaminated lands and restore natural resources ~,here <br /> appropriate. <br />· hnplement best management practices to control and treat stormwater as redevelopment opportunities arise. <br /> <br />Developing. Communities <br /> <br /> Council investments in regional systerns and incentives for the Developing <br />Communities focus on accommodating growth, supporting centers along corridors, <br />encouraging connected land use patterns for new development and encouraging the <br />development of communities where shopping, jobs and a variety of housing choices co- <br />exist by design. <br /> <br /> Local 2020 comprehensive plans ah'eady designate sufficient land to accommodate <br />this growth through 2020. However, to accommodate household growth projected to <br />2030, assuming 30% of regional residential growth will occur in the Developed <br />Communities, the region will need to add 15,000 residential acres. Further, the Natural <br />Resource Inventory and Assessment identifies approximately 5,000 acres of unprotected <br />natural resources of regional importance in areas planned for development. Protection of <br />these natural resource lands would require the designation of additional acres for <br />residential developrnent. Finally, the region will also need to provide urban services to an <br />estimated 14,000 acres (about 40% of the total land demand) to accofnmodate other land <br />uses such as commercial and industrial deVelopment. Based on these numbers, the <br />Core, cji must plan regional infrastructure to provide services to 35,000 acres, in addition <br />to the existing 2020 staged development as shown in local plans. <br /> <br />21 <br /> <br /> <br />
