Working with municipal partners and non-profit housing developers,the <br /> County will support the following policy objectives: <br /> • Continue to support the sustainable development of energy efficient and <br /> affordable housing on properties owned by local governments,such as the Greene <br /> Tract. <br /> • Continue to encourage the use of ADUs and evaluate regulations that may <br /> discourage housing types other than single-family in some areas of the county, <br /> relying instead on density and impervious cover regulations. <br /> • Revise the County's Home Park standards to better allow for the redevelopment of <br /> manufactured home parks to serve as an additional housing option. <br /> • Enhance the Unified Development Ordinance's density bonus for provision of <br /> affordable housing units, including an allowance to reduce lot sizes. <br /> 66 PUBLIC REVIEW DRAFT <br />
