It's been a while since I've been in the forum.....forgive me father for I have sinned!
OK....here is my question.
A city I work with recently adopted a future land use plan for which it designated some (R-1A areas (large lot, large home) and some low density areas. The city has generally defined low density has being 3 units per gross acre or 4 units per net acre. Because of this designation and because of the market, developers are bringing in plans that always include attached housing. They average their density and they remain in the 3 units per acre (low density) that we have designated the area.
Anyhow, the city would like to have more control...or at least feel that they have more control. My plan is to find some research on the percentage of attached/detached housing in my community compared to others....but do you guys have any ideas on regulating the amount of attached development without killing the market????
