The provisions in this chapter are intended to carry out a key program directed by the 2014 General Plan Land Use Element and the 2020 Housing Element to implement the downtown flexible density program. The program is intended to facilitate the construction of smaller housing units within the city’s downtown core by relaxing density limitations for qualifying units and providing development standard incentives. The program will be in effect until January 1, 2029, or until five hundred residential units have been entitled or permitted, whichever occurs first. (Ord. 1726 § 7, 2023)
