2024-267 Comprehensive Plan Single-Family Land Use Category (B)

Kathleen Walston Pagan

I support the proposal to allow 12 units per acre in SF districts. Smaller lots and smaller homes will be more likely to be less costly housing and will also result in energy efficiency due to scale. We must be thinking about energy conservation. I have a small home, around 1000 SF, and during the pandemic and holiday visits there have been 4 adults in the dwelling. A well designed small home can be comfortable and easy to maintain. More people are interested in simple living now.
