This approach would focus most of the new housing growth in Downtown, BelRed, Wilburton, and East Main, and add additional density in mixed-use areas of Crossroads, Factoria, and Eastgate.

New development in the urban core areas would be larger apartments that are 10 or more stories and mid-rise apartments that are 5-10 stories. The majority of housing units in those buildings would most likely be 1-bedroom and studio apartments. 

Additional low-scale housing options like duplexes, townhomes, or cottage homes would be allowed in neighborhoods throughout the city. 

Capacity for Housing: 59,100 units
