“A residential area doesn’t just have to be single-family housing,” said Joe McKenney, a city commissioner who also works in real estate. “It can be single-family housing. It can be duplexes. It can be townhouses. And it can be small retail or even grocery stores.”
With the city far from bursting at the seams, the draft policy aims to identify areas ripe for small-scale, infill development.
