6.3.A. - Page 119 <br />Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing <br />The City's Housing Element is the primary tool that includes the list of comprehensive strategies and <br />programs that will be implemented to remove or ameliorate the barriers to affordable housing. The <br />City's land use policy provides ample opportunities for higher -density development, which increases the <br />feasibility of affordable housing projects. In addition, a number of financial and administrative resources <br />are available to assist in the development of affordable housing and implementation of the City's <br />housing programs. The City coordinates the use of federal, State, and local funds to facilitate the <br />development of affordable housing. <br />The City's General Plan allows development projects to exceed maximum densities if the development is <br />within a designated planning area (such as certain precise plans) and the project demonstrates it will <br />provided valuable amenities. <br />The City has implemented zoning standards for nearly all mixed-use areas, including Mixed -Use Corridor, <br />Mixed -Use Neighborhood, and Mixed -Use Live/Work. These standards allow for mixed-use, multi -modal <br />environments with compact development patterns and graceful transitions to neighborhoods. <br />Consolidated Plan REDWOOD CITY 116 <br />OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) <br />
