and cannot do.

was passed in 2020 and went into effect in the summer of 2020; the deadline to submit an
Affordable Housing Action Plan depends on the size of the community. An annual reporting
process must also be completed by staff.

specific actions listed in a community' s plan and that he does not think the proposed plan has any

stock and streamline our processes to help lower the cost of housing.
