11 <br /> Commissioner Carter asked how much of the growth in multi-family housing in Wake <br /> County occurred in unincorporated areas where they presumably lack water and sewer capacity. <br /> Yonah Freemark said most of the growth occurred in municipalities, but it's been made <br /> possible by aggressive annexation policies. He said those municipalities associate annexation <br /> process with provision of urban services. <br /> Commissioner Carter said Chair Hamilton's point of "who pays" is a central question. <br /> Yonah Freemark said it's common to impose impact fees if you can justify it. <br /> Commissioner Greene said the General Assembly would not be in favor of impact fees. <br /> She said that the WASMPBA requires that developers pay. She said she'd like to see the capacity <br /> report done by Chapel Hill. She said she had a needs analysis report that said Chapel Hill needs <br /> to increase housing production of all types by 35%. She said Hillsborough is doing the same, and <br /> Carrboro has two transition areas that are designated for housing. She said this doesn't all have <br /> to occur in rural Orange County. <br /> Slide #17 <br /> ltill C I J.^.iFh C.:C.Ci ll J-Y <br /> The Theory Behind the Current "YIMBY" <br /> Movement to Reform Zoning <br /> Zoning as it currently Reform could <br /> exists restricts alter zoning to <br /> housing construction allow more More building <br /> and therefore limits construction <br /> housing affordability <br /> • U R B A N - I N B i 1 7 U 7 B - 1/ <br />
