Mr. Rasmussen advised that Medium Density Residential ranges vary but generall)! are live <br />to twelve or fifteen units per acre; High Density Residential cuts in at 15-18 units. Staff advised <br />that the R-I-6,500 zoning equals five units per acre. <br /> <br />The Commission, with the exception of Commissioner Barker, agreed with the staff <br />recommendation. Commissioner Barker wants to change the density definitions. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hovingh recommended a twofold action - that the affordable housing fee be <br />based on square footage of the lots and square footage of the house.
