Brian,That all sounds great but you'd but just asking for an immediate rejection in most jurisdictions. I would advise that you ask for the changes in the ordinance that you need for your project and no more.

The only topics which we're currently promoting is 1) for density to be increased with the use of cottages 600 ft2 or less (counting as 1/2 of a dwelling unit) and cottages between 600 ft2 and 800 ft2 (counting as 3/4 of a dwelling unit) and 2) eliminating the restriction on clustered housing that mandates that all homes lined up on any side be similar in design. We're all for variety; have five, basic models; and don't want to be told what house goes where.How about you let your cohousing zoning overlay be a stalking horse for low-income housing for retirees? Allow cottages that arrive on their own wheels, or on a truck bed. Eliminate blanket legal prohibitions against mobile homes, Katrina cottages, recreational vehicles. Allow a cohousing planned-unit-development to be approved without having all the house footprints defined. This eliminates one of the major prohibitions against building a house in stages, yourself, while living in it, and not going into debt.
