� � <br /> CMP Part 3C. Housing Plan <br /> Meeting Sub-Regional Housing Needs � <br /> Requires Sub-Regional Approach <br /> The Metropolitan Council's Regional Blueprint suggests that each � <br /> metropolitan azea community is expected to provide a range of housing <br /> options to meet the needs of�esidents at all stages in the lifecycle,and where <br /> feasible, increase options for af�ordable housing. Once needs have been <br /> identified, then a plan for rneeting those needs must be established and . <br /> � implemented. <br /> The Lake Minnetonka area is comprised of a number of individual cities, <br /> both lazge and small,each of which have the capacity to provide housing for <br /> certain 'niches' of the population, but.few.of which have the capacity to <br /> provide for all�categories of lifecycle or affordable housing. In order to <br /> identify the existing life-cycle and diversified housing, and to identify <br /> opporhinities for such housing from a sub-regional perspective,the 16 Lake <br /> � Minnetonka Area Cooperating Cities (LMACC) in 1998 prepazed a Sub- <br /> Regional Housing Study. <br /> The LMACC Study identified a number of key issues which set the stage for <br /> addressing problems and identifying opportunities for development of . <br /> adequate housing in the subregion. The key issues relate to two primary . <br /> factors:the changinb profile of the LMACC cities,�including demographics, <br /> life-cycle housing, population turnover, and low/moderate..income <br /> households; and the housing stock, including mazket trends, housing <br /> conditions,housing values,and housing options. The Study proposes a series <br /> of 6 Housing Initiatives,including: � <br /> 1) A Subregional Approach to addressing housing needs; � <br /> 2) Actions to create Sustainable Communities; <br /> 3) Development of Diversified Housing Options; . _ <br /> 4) Establishment of Support Services such as transit access, <br /> child caze assistance, etc. <br /> 5) Establishment of a Subregional Housing Redevelopment <br /> Authority (HRA); and � <br /> 6) Protection of Ezisting Housing. <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan Page 3G16 <br /> September 2000/Revised September 2001 <br />
