Policy Playbook for Cities Summary

  • Adopt by-right rules, simplify permits, reduce mandates, and allow for easy lot splits. Avoid caps, delays, and micromanagement.

  • Allow duplexes, fourplexes, ADUs, and small-lot homes by right and reduce mandatory lot sizes.

  • Enable housing in commercial and industrial zones and reuse underused land.

  • Work to identify unused parcels for workforce and starter homes. Utilize workforce housing funding, land leases, or other incentives or tools to lower costs of development.

  • Cities need tools to pay for infrastructure which will allow for smarter housing development.

Our Policy Playbook guides our work with cities and includes best practices which have been used across the country to create more housing of different types and sizes.
