Facilitate Compact Development Patterns
About the Solution

The City will work with local stakeholders to proactively plan existing and future land uses to reduce the distance people need to travel for work and to access shopping and services through compact development. Compact development encourages or supports smaller lot sizes, reduced setbacks, multiple units per property, and multi-story buildings in appropriate locations.
