General plan Chapter 9: moderate income housing (joint work session)
Pending
The staff report says state law requires a moderate income housing element with at least three state-listed strategies and an implementation plan, to be submitted to the state before January 1, 2023, and that noncompliance could make the city ineligible for Transportation Investment Fund projects. Using 2016 Provo-Orem area figures, the area median income is $67,625, a moderate-income family of four is $54,100 and affordable home price at 80 percent of median income is up to $196,133, below the median assessed home value of $216,050. About 36.3 percent of units (2,709) are affordable, about 27 percent of households are low or moderate income, the ownership rate is 86 percent, and the city has no apartment complexes. Proposed strategies include monitoring affordability, designating multifamily areas, streamlining development, small lots and accessory dwelling units. Staff noted households earning $25,000 to $35,000 have fewer matching units. The outcome of the session is not in the documents.
- Staff recommendation: review the state strategy list and select those that best fit city goals
