Cohousing-L Mailing List: Need help - zoning

[Ty Albright (tmalbright]

Hey Cohousers - can you tell me:

 

1). I need actual examples of what zoning (land use) designations other
municipalities / cities have used to allow cohousing.

2). Do you have suggested language to describe the zoning land-use that
would allow cohousing - but also be broad in scope to allow cohousing like
developments?

 

I'm working with the City of Denton Texas on a tiny house village for
homeless veterans - we have explained to them the benefits of cohousing and
how we plan to use "cohousing like" strategies for design and resident
formation - the city is supportive and has offered to develop for approval a
new "Cohousing" land use designation.  If this is successful it could be a
home run for cohousing elsewhere - people could point to Denton Texas as an
example where municipalities are recognizing cohousing.

 

The lead for the land use / zoning group is preparing a proposal for city
approval - and has asked for help to identify what other municipalities /
locations have done.

 

If you can share any feedback / actual examples that would be much
appreciated - thanks
