Housing Affordability Action Plan

Supports the housing plan but calls relaxing the 20% tree canopy standard a false choice, noting the town lost over 11% of canopy from 2010-2020. Urges the council to explicitly reserve the right to reject any UDO changes weakening that standard.

As a senior whose housing costs just rose $200/month, she can't afford to buy or rent locally. She pressed for a clear definition of 'affordable housing' and asked what the plan will cost taxpayers.

Representing a builder/realtor/apartment coalition, submitted a letter of support for the plan with suggested modifications.
