The Council recently adopted a new Housing Element of the General Plan, which informs other parts of the General Plan, along with our County's housing policy.  The Housing Element had previously not been updated since 1993. 

The Council made several changes from the recommended version sent over to us by the Planning Board in July 2009.  The Council concluded that one of the most controversial pieces, a recommendation on accessory apartments, required further consideration outside of the context of the General Plan.  We will address that piece this summer.
