Does the public still have the opportunity to comment on workforce housing projects?
Any new development plan must proceed through the process, including public hearings. Existing, recorded plans that are resubmitted as workforce housing plans will be considered as revised minor plans, which do not require a public hearing – only if the increase in units is less than 50%. However, if no rezoning is required, plans are reviewed to make certain that they meet all code requirements and cannot be denied once all the legal requirements are met.
