A. Residential Land Use and Housing Element <br /> <br /> The Residential Land Use and Housing Element addresses the housing noeds of current and <br /> future residents of the metropolitan area. Land in residential use occupies the largest share of <br /> land within the urban growth boundary. The existing housing stock and residential land supply <br /> and its relationship to other land uses and infrastructure is critical to the future needs of all <br /> residents. <br /> <br />This element addresses State Housing Goal 10, 'To provide for the housing needs of citizens of <br />the state.' Housing demand originates with the basic need for shelter but continues into the <br />realm of creating communities. The policies contained in this element are based on an analysis <br />of land supply and existing and future housing demand including existing housing problems and <br />the needs of the expected future population. Numerous faetom were reviewed to develop a <br />projection of future housing demand including projected number of households, household <br />.income, age, household size, household type, and special housing needs. The background <br />material with this analysis is contained in two documents, the 1999 Supply and Demand <br />Technical Analysis; and the 1999 Site Inventory Document. <br /> <br />This element is organized by seven topics related to housing and residential land. These topics <br />include: <br /> <br /> · Residential Land Supply and Demand; <br /> · Residential Density; <br /> · Housing Type and Tenure; <br /> · Design and Mixed Use; <br /> · Existing Hgusing Supply and Neighborhoods; <br /> · Affordable, Special Need, and Fair Housing; and <br /> · Coordination. <br /> <br />The applicable findings and policies are contained under each topic heading. <br /> <br />Finally, the policies listed provide direction for the local jurisdictions in preparing zoning and <br />development regulations to address future housing needs. <br /> <br />Each jurisdiction will be responsible to implement the policies contained in the Residential <br />Element. At the time of the annual monitoring report, information on progress made to realize <br />policy direction will be made available in that process. As local jurisdictions implement this <br />Element of the Metro Plan, they will be involved in the analysis of the suitability of certain <br />residential designations in terms of density and location and may propose changes, based on this <br />analysis, to the Metro Plan diagram. <br /> <br /> III-A-I IV-20 <br /> <br />Metro Plan Replacement Page December 1999 <br /> <br /> <br />
