Recent discussions have focused on density, zoning, and <br />design standards for residential development. Panel discussions with private developers have been <br />held, and Councilmembers have given specific direction to staff and consultants. <br /> <br /> <br />Summary of Developer Input <br /> <br />Following is a brief summary of the developer panel discussions with single-family and multi-family <br />developers. <br /> <br />Single-Family Residential <br /> Private developers see demand for a range of product types. <br /> There is demand in the market for upscale empty nester housing. These housing products vary <br />in size but generally include a higher level of interior finishes. <br /> Single-family homes targeted towards families with school-age children will be a desired <br />product. Lots that are large enough for front-loaded garages will be predominant. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM 9 <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br />
