I favor expanding the UGAs to enable growth of all housing types, but UGA expansion will also allow the city to build small commercial in new residential areas.
As we expand, we need to add child care facilities, especially those accommodating very young children. I'm not sure if there is anything the city can do to encourage that, but the city should consider whether zoning laws can be amended to make it childcare a permitted use in more zones.
Do not rezone town centers as 79-unit multifamily residential areas if our intention is to support the integration of small-scale commercial in residential areas.
Thank you for your contribution!
