Using the space provided below, please describe the ways the UDO was changed to support increased housing development by using the nine factors discussed in the same part of the code, IC36-7-4.3 (Section 3). These factors include:
(1) Providing for higher density development of duplexes,
triplexes, and fourplexes in areas designated for single family
homes.
(2) Constructing other housing types including accessory
dwelling units and manufactured and modular housing.
(3) Adaptive reuse of commercial buildings for residential use
such as allowing multifamily development in retail, office, and
light manufacturing zones.
(4) Increasing the allowable floor area ratio in multifamily
housing areas.
(5) Waiving or eliminating regulations such as requirements
for:
(A) garage size and placement;
(B) steeper roof pitch;
(C) minimum lot size and square footage;
(D) greater setbacks;
(E) off-street parking;
(F) design standards that restrict or prohibit the use of code compliant products; or
(G) property height limitations.
(6) Reviewing impact fee zones with zone advisory committee
for improvements.
(7) Streamlining or shortening the permitting processes and
timelines, including through one stop and parallel process
permitting by 15 days or more.
(8) Using property tax abatements to enable higher density
and mixed income communities.
(9) Donating vacant land for affordable housing development.
