Book excerpt: In November 1990, the City of Victoria received an A.C.T. grant to demonstrate that integrating new housing into established neighbourhoods (infill development) can, under appropriate design guidelines, improve the quality, choice and affordability of housing. The City of Victoria proposed to undertake its A.C.T. project in two phases. In the first phase it would examine community concerns and reflect them in developing clear design guidelines that must be considered when designing infill housing, and in developing a zoning by-law which would regulate some aspects of the houses such as size, proximity to street and parking requirements. In the second phase, the approaches developed in phase one would be tested and demonstrated by building three houses. The project was launched by first establishing a project team comprising all the key stakeholders: community groups, representatives from the building industry, and City staff and Council. Small lot design guidelines applied in other cities were examined and analyzed to determine their appropriateness for Victoria. The team brought the results of this research to the residents and the development community to obtain their input. With the results of the research and community input, the City proceeded to draft the new design guidelines and zoning by-law. Construction of the three units was completed in March 1995. Soon after, the City officially launched the demonstration with an opening ceremony and the houses remained open for two weeks to allow for public viewing. An important component of the project was measuring community acceptance, . Results indicate that the vast majority of the respondents thought that the project suited the neighbourhood and was a positive development. All three units have been sold with prices around $204,000, comparing favorably with new single family homes in this location which normally sell for approximately $280,000.

Download or read book Regulatory Barriers to Manufactured Housing Placement in Urban Communities written by Casey J. Dawkins and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manufactured housing (MH) units (built under the HUD Code in the controlled environment of a manufacturing plant and transported in one or more sections on a permanent chassis) provide an important source of affordable housing. After adjusting for land costs, the per square foot cost of HUD-Code housing is less than half of standard, site-built housing. With the increased use of multi-section units and recent innovations in MH building technology, particularly integrated floor and chassis systems, many MH units are now virtually indistinguishable from conventional site-built units. This report examines the scope and severity of state and local regulatory barriers to MH placement within CDBG-eligible communities. Ill. A print on demand report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new way forward for sustainable quality of life in cities of all sizes Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Build American Prosperity is a book of forward-thinking ideas that breaks with modern wisdom to present a new vision of urban development in the United States. Presenting the foundational ideas of the Strong Towns movement he co-founded, Charles Marohn explains why cities of all sizes continue to struggle to meet their basic needs, and reveals the new paradigm that can solve this longstanding problem. Inside, you’ll learn why inducing growth and development has been the conventional response to urban financial struggles—and why it just doesn’t work. New development and high-risk investing don’t generate enough wealth to support itself, and cities continue to struggle. Read this book to find out how cities large and small can focus on bottom-up investments to minimize risk and maximize their ability to strengthen the community financially and improve citizens’ quality of life. Develop in-depth knowledge of the underlying logic behind the “traditional” search for never-ending urban growth Learn practical solutions for ameliorating financial struggles through low-risk investment and a grassroots focus Gain insights and tools that can stop the vicious cycle of budget shortfalls and unexpected downturns Become a part of the Strong Towns revolution by shifting the focus away from top-down growth toward rebuilding American prosperity Strong Towns acknowledges that there is a problem with the American approach to growth and shows community leaders a new way forward. The Strong Towns response is a revolution in how we assemble the places we live.
