• Create and maintain a level of affordability options through the community's <br />housing stock. <br />7. Implement policies that will allow the opportunity for the development of <br />877 new affordable housing units between 2011 and 2020. An affordable <br />housing unit is a unit priced at or below 30% of the gross income of a <br />household earning 60% of the Twin Cities median family income (or <br />$46,200 in 2005). <br />8. Promote the development and preservation of a supply of quality housing <br />that is affordable at all income levels and at all stages of the life cycle. <br />Strategies: <br />• Provide opportunities for the development of high quality housing that is <br />diverse in terms of ownership, price, type, and style. This diversity shall <br />include large lot residential parcels, as well as life cycle and affordable <br />housing. <br />• Encourage residential developers to include housing affordable to low- and <br />moderate -income residents and local employees as part of their <br />developments in order to provide a range of mixed -income housing <br />throughout the community. Subsidized housing shall not be concentrated in <br />any one neighborhood. <br />• Provide financial or technical assistance, as may be appropriate, to <br />developers of affordable housing for low- and moderate -income residents. <br />• Encourage the development of housing for residents with special needs, <br />including accessible housing for persons with disabilities. <br />• Support efforts to assure equal access to housing opportunities within the <br />City. <br />• Support projects and programs that meet Hugo's needs for low- and <br />moderate -income life cycle housing opportunities. <br />• Provide an adequate supply of land guided for Medium Density Residential, <br />High Density Residential, and Mixed Use. <br />• Allow higher density elderly housing in areas guided for lower density <br />residential land uses. <br />9. Promote development patterns and densities that link housing with <br />services and facilities, employment areas and all forms of transportation, <br />particularly future public transit and non -motorized forms of transportation. <br />Strategies: <br />• Support residential development that makes efficient use of available land <br />with adequate public infrastructure. <br />• Provide opportunities for housing affordable to low- and moderate -income <br />residents in areas that are conveniently located and accessible to places of <br />employment, commercial areas, public uses, and future transportation <br />facilities. <br />• Locate higher density residential uses near the Highway 61 corridor where <br />future mass transit is possible. <br />Chapter 3 3-4 <br />Policy Plan <br />Hugo <br />
