Equitable Zoning Reform Campaign
Goal 2: Encourage Housing Abundance
Strategy 3:
Allow for Innovative Approaches to Home-Sharing and Housing
Allow for Innovative Approaches to Home-Sharing and Housing
Definitions of and limitations on various forms of home-sharing are restrictive and discourage creation of new and creative ways for people to share housing. This decreases the ability of the community to increase housing stock without having to build new buildings.
Zoning Recommendations
Ensure that limits on shared housing (including shelter) are not inequitably or unreasonably limiting people from sharing housing to reduce costs (in the City Code’s Housing Regulations, section 5-2, Shared Housing Provider). |
Simplify, consolidate, and provide more flexibility and consistency in the ordinances related to home-sharing, group homes, rooming houses, and lodging establishments so that new ways of housing people can be implemented. |
