Tuesday night, Jackson Planning Commissioners approved a recommendation to the City Council that no new homes be built in Jackson in 2008. The commission heard public comment on the city’s Housing Equivalent Units Allocation for 2008 - the annual recommendation of the number of new houses allowed based on the capacity of the cities infrastructure, including sewer and water facilities. The commission is also recommending that project designs include traffic improvement for bicyclists and pedestrians, affordable housing to meet or exceed the cities’ policy, child care opportunities, green building practices and show an economic benefit to Jackson. Commissioners suggested if the City Council did not agree with the Housing Equivalent Units Allocation, they could implement stricter Design Criteria.
