Background and Analysis:

Missing Middle Housing refers to a range of housing types that can provide more than one housing unit per lot in a way that is compatible in scale with single-family homes.

 

Examples may include duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, accessory dwelling units, tiny homes, courtyard apartments, townhomes, row houses, and cottage housing.

 

Missing Middle Housing is a key component of the City's housing strategy, as it supports housing affordability for households across all income levels.
