Proposals for Better Multifamily Housing Development
Earlier this year, responding to neighborhood concerns about the design of new townhouses and development in areas zoned for multifamily buildings, SPCC submitted comments to Councilmember Sally Clark, the chair of the City Council committee considering proposed changes to the Land Use Code. (See www.SquirePark.org). The local chapter of the Congress of Residential Architects has prepared a critique of the current Land Use Code’s rules regarding multifamily development with suggestions for improvements. A summary of that group’s suggestions can be found at http://coranw.blogspot.com/
Clark’s committee is still considering proposed legislation. No timeline for future action has been published.
