Public Hearing: Land Development Code Amendments for Density Bonus Provisions

The Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing to consider an ordinance amending the Land Development Code to create a new article under Chapter 14—Driggs Qualified Workforce Housing Incentive Program. The program offers potential incentives such as density bonuses, increased height/lot coverage, and impact fee waivers for developments that provide deed-restricted workforce housing. The proposed amendments set standards for affordability, unit mix, quality, and timing; allow payment-in-lieu options, and update Section 15.10.4 (Annexation) and previous articles within Chapter 14 that refer to the existing density bonus provisions accordingly. The Planning & Zoning Commission will consider making a recommendation to City Council, which will consider the proposed Ordinance during a future public hearing and make a final decision.
