Exhibit A opportunities for effectively designed in-fill, redevelopment, and mixed use while considering impacts of increased residential density on historic, existing and future neighborhoods. The intent of the amendment is to create more opportunities citywide for affordable housing on church properties in areas zoned for low density residential use, consistent with this policy. The proposed standards for building size and height will ensure minimal impact on surrounding properties in historic, existing and future neighborhoods. A. 14 Review local zoning and development regulations periodically to remove barriers to higher density housing and to make provision for a full range of housing options. A.17 Provide opportunities for a full range of choice in housing type, density, size, cost and location. A.18 Encourage a mix of structure types and densities within residential designations by reviewing and, if necessary, amending local zoning and development regulations. Consistent with these policies, the amendment provides for more opportunities for smaller housing types within residential neighborhoods.
