HOUSING CODE ANALYSIS & AMENDMENTS

An emerging specialty area includes code analysis and amendments to support a wider range of housing options, reflecting both local priorities and recent state legislation such as Oregon’s HB 2001 middle housing bill. Project tasks typically include audit of existing development regulations against relevant state regulations and local policies, stakeholder engagement to understand existing issues and desired outcomes, amendments to zoning code, and code adoption services including legal findings, presentations and public hearings.

In addition to project-specific work, JET’s housing expertise is informed by engagement in state-level work groups around policy development, local and regional advocacy groups, and presentations to a variety of professional and general audiences on housing planning issues.
