<br /> Consolidated Plan REDWOOD CITY 108 <br />OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) <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 programs that will be implemented to <br />remove or ameliorate the barriers to affordable housing. The City’s land use policy provides ample opportunities for higher-density <br />development, which increases the feasibility of affordable housing projects. In addition, a number of financial and administrative resources are <br />available to assist in the development of affordable housing and implementation of the City’s housing programs. The City coordinates the use of <br />federal, State, and local funds to facilitate the development of affordable housing. <br />The City's General Plan allows development projects to exceed maximum densities if the development is within a designated planning area (such <br />as certain precise plans) and the project demonstrates it will provided valuable amenities. <br />The City has implemented zoning standards for nearly all mixed-use areas, including Mixed-Use Corridor, Mixed-Use Neighborhood, and Mixed- <br />Use Live/Work. These standards allow for mixed-use, multi-modal environments with compact development patterns and graceful transitions to <br />neighborhoods. <br /> 6.3.F. - Page 120
