Comprehensive Planning & Development Code Rewrites
Unlocking Housing Potential: Modernized Planning & Development Codes for Affordable Housing Success
Amarach Planning Services offers a comprehensive approach to planning and development code rewrites specifically geared towards increasing the availability of affordable housing. We understand the critical role of regulations in shaping your community's housing landscape. We will work collaboratively with you to create a modern and flexible development code that fosters:
Increased Affordability: We identify and remove regulatory barriers that hinder the creation of affordable housing options. This may involve revising minimum lot sizes, parking requirements, or density restrictions to allow for more cost-effective development models.
Streamlined Development Process: We streamline the development approval process for affordable housing projects, minimizing unnecessary delays and bureaucratic hurdles. This can involve creating clear and concise regulations and expediting permit review procedures.
Mixed-Use Development: We encourage the development of mixed-use communities that integrate affordable housing with services, commercial uses, and green spaces. This fosters vibrant neighborhoods and ensures residents have access to essential amenities.
Sustainability: We incorporate sustainable design principles into the development code, promoting energy-efficient and environmentally responsible construction practices for affordable housing units without putting unnecessary strain on the construction industry.
