I think this could go true we have new initiatives about affordable housing about small housing but 14 <br />we’ve been trying to describe these new housing opportunities out there. Are they mobile homes, are they RVs, are 15 <br />they micro houses, we will be presenting to the commissioners probably in September of this year. These other type of 16 <br />housing options would address bringing the parents back in the house. We’re into that process, we would expect 17 <br />getting a green light to address some of those issues in September or October and bringing forward later this year. 18 <br /> 19 <br />Lydia Wegman: And would that kind of thing come to the planning board fi the commissioners said go? 20 <br /> 21 <br />Craig Benedict: Yes, definitely. 22 <br /> 23 <br />Lydia Wegman: Thank you. 24 <br /> 25 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: We have a statement of consistency to vote on and it says this isn’t against what’s in the 26 <br />comprehensive plan. It addresses a .25% improvement on that plan. We’ll need a motion to vote on that and then vote 27 <br />on the specific amendment items here. We’ll make a recommendation to the BOCC on the statement of consistency 28 <br />that yes we think it is consistent. 29 <br /> 30 <br />MOTION made by: Buddy Hartley.
