Council keeps Missing Middle study and adds child care planning work

The council approved a citywide planning work plan through December 2027, keeping staff’s three-density Missing Middle housing analysis while adding Child Care Policy work and deferring residential-neighborhood retail until density choices are made. Staff must evaluate a tiered density approach tied to transit, including densities above 32 units per acre near Downtown and current densities in areas with limited transit, with updated analysis due by March 2027. The plan fits existing resources and has no immediate FY 2026–27 budget impact.
