What are the recent changes to State law pertaining to housing?
Changes in State housing law and the State’s long term planning directive have pushed for a smarter policy framework that emphasizes the need to make the best use of limited land and resources. This new paradigm is one that mirrors many locally held planning traditions—those that help to preserve the County’s rural heritage, along with the values expressed in each of the County’s unique community planning areas. Simultaneously, this new framework provides the basis for a growth scenario that can be used to preserve the regional quality of life as characterized by economic sustainability, service delivery capacity, and the preservation of open space and agricultural land.
