Short Term (2016–2018) Develop a monitoring program that defines the tools and metrics that describe housing condition, supply, availability, location, crime rates, and housing type. Evaluate city zoning regulations to ensure that accessory dwelling units, clustered housing, cottage housing, townhouses, etc. are allowed within appropriate residential and mixed-use zones. Utilize the existing city rental housing business license program and requirements to educate multifamily property owners about Auburn’s goals, policies, and standards, and hold property owners and tenants accountable for adherence to its objectives.
