Staff is requesting feedback from the Commission on a zoning code text amendment allowing Single-Use Residential development in commercial zones as an affordable housing incentive and providing additional incentives for Adaptive Reuse projects.  Both Single Use Residential and Adaptive Reuse become newly defined terms in the Zoning Code.

The Housing Section is currently preparing a policy/program for the provision of housing bond funds for eligible adaptive reuse projects.  After consultation with the Housing Section about their proposal to create a program to encourage adaptive reuse, staff identified a potential zoning code amendment to make these projects easier to accomplish as an incentive for providing affordable housing resources in alignment with the new policy/program.
