The HALA recommendation SF.2 called for allowing a "Broader Mix of Lower Density Housing Types within Single Family Areas"

It states:

"The City should allow more variety of housing scaled to fit within traditional single-family areas to increase the economic and demographic diversity of those who are able to live in these family oriented neighborhoods. The broader mix of housing would include small lot dwellings, cottages or courtyard housing, rowhouses, duplexes, triplexes, and stacked flats. Although a broader variety of housing would be permitted, the total amount of “massing” or building area on a single lot should remain the same (excluding ADUs and DADUs). This does not eliminate the option of single family housing; rather, it increases the opportunities for more efficient use of very limited land resources."

SHARE THE CITY

It also states "The City should allow units in a duplex or a triplex to be separately owned, as well as allowing a traditionally scaled single family structure to be occupied by multiple different households in different units within the structure. This strategy is consistent with the HALA recommendation to promote homeownership
opportunities within the city (Strategy H.1)."
