Most Important Criteria for Evaluating New Development in Unincorporated Areas
There are 20 distinct unincorporated areas in the 2nd District. Existing development, undertaken under different land use policies and practices over the last 100 years, often resembles a patchwork quilt.
Community Plans for these unincorporated areas need to be updated and at minimum should include incentives for locating residential projects near transit corridors and density bonuses for the development of affordable housing.
Updated Community Plans will better enable enforcement against nuisance and blight-inducing activities.
