The Georgetown City Council will meet on April 10, 2019 at 5:30 PM at Georgetown Public Library, 402 W 8th Street Georgetown, TX 78626 to conduct a workshop on affordable housing. Follow this link to see the agenda and the staff recommendations. Council Workshop
It is interesting to note that there is zero discussion of relaxing land use or zoning ordinances as a method of reducing housing costs even though these ordinances are universally recognized as a major housing cost driver. Affordable Housing
It is likely that there would be push back by existing home owners to relaxing the density and parking rules, but, that would definitely increase the housing stock in Georgetown. In addition it would give property owners more authority over how they want to develop their property within the city limits.
Why is the City avoiding this potential housing cost reducer?
