WHEREAS, the City is committed to achieving the goals and policies of the
recently adopted Comprehensive Plan (Ordinance 94-21); and
WHEREAS, one of the Comprehensive Plan's five overriding principles states
that preserving and promoting affordable housing on the Island is fundamental to
achieving economic and social diversity among residents of the Island; and
WHEREAS, Ordinance 95-07 relating to accessory dwelling units and
manufactured homes and Ordinance 95-36 relating to development of HUD~defined
affordable housing on nonconforming lots have the potential to increase affordable
housing units for the rental housing market and for potential homeowners in both lower
and middle income ranges and to disperse such housing inventory throughout all
geographic areas of the Island; and
WHEREAS, the carrying capacity of the Island is not known and as information
on housing and on the Island's finite resources becomes available, it may be necessary to
adjust implementation strategies and propose amendments which will more effectively
achieve the affordable housing goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that:
o
The City of Bainbridge Island is committed to evaluating the effectiveness of the
Comprehensive Plan's housing policies and programs.
