“Clearing the Path: 2nd Generation Barriers to Middle Housing”

Zoning reform opened the door for middle housing. But the work isn’t done.

Across the country, cities are legalizing townhomes, cottage courts, and other modest-sized homes — yet construction standards and infrastructure requirements designed for much larger multifamily projects are still creating costly second-generation barriers.

We’ll cover the key regulatory and construction barriers holding projects back, highlight cities that are finding solutions, and debunk common myths about infrastructure impacts.

John Zeanah from the Center for Building in North America will present on how planners and policymakers can address barriers beyond zoning reform to allow more middle housing production, from building code reforms to utility rules. Cascadia Partners will present case studies and common misconceptions about the impact of middle housing on sewer system capacity, sharing best practices for policymakers implementing middle housing.
