(1) Flexible zoning techniques, cluster housing (provided adjacent property owners are protected from adverse impacts), and transfer of density on a parcel should be allowed in order to lower the cost of land for affordable housing opportunities. All types of housing opportunities, including multifamily, should be allowed in approved planned unit developments.

(2) Multifamily developments should be allowed within urban growth areas, rural centers and rural commercial activity centers.

(3) Employee housing should be encouraged in commercial and industrial zoning districts.

(4) The County should place a high priority on provision of infrastructure to serve high density housing development in urban growth areas and should consider partially subsidizing infrastructure costs to low-income affordable housing projects.

(5) The County should ensure that development standards do not discourage the provision of affordable housing.

(6) Allow higher urban density housing construction outside urban growth areas, including multifamily, in areas identified as rural centers, rural commercial activity centers and rural villages.

(7) The County should ensure that sufficient lands are designated within urban growth areas for the provision of high density and affordable housing development.

(8) Retention and development of mobile home parks within urban growth areas should be encouraged.
