What type of residential density is preferred? Where should residential density be located?

Alternatives

This question will not follow the multiple choice format of the other 7 policy questions. A “visual preference” exercise is provided that asks the public to identify which types of residential development they would prefer to see constructed in Districts 3 through 6 to provide the additional 1,800 units (or whatever number of additional units they support).

Solution

See the Policy Direction Subarea Map (JPG) and Policy Directions by Subarea documents. Review all Subarea Final Policy Directions (PDF).
