Phase 2a: The Housing Implementation Plan Document & Housing Code Updates 2022-2023

About the Project

Housing & Economic Opportunities Project (HEOP): In 2018, the City of Florence  adopted the Economic Opportunities Analysis (EOA) and Housing Needs Analysis (HNA). As part of that process, the City and its consultant identified and evaluated a number of housing recommendations to meet future housing needs. CLICK HERE to learn more about that project.

2019 Residential Code Updates: In 2019, the City undertook a subsequent code update that was focused on modifying the City's residential codes. At the time, the City's residential development codes were over 35 years old and reflected development patterns and housing styles of that period. The 2019 code updates addressed the desire for the City of Florence to add provisions to construct affordable "missing middle" housing types, such as townhomes, duets, duplexes, cottages, and multi-family developments with three or more units. CLICK HERE to learn more about that project.
