The Junction City Commission will consider an ordinance that could encourage upper-story living in the downtown.
City staff is recommending the commission approve an ordinance establishing a Rural Housing Incentive District policy. RHIDs are designed as a way for communities under 60,000 population to capture incremental growth in tax collection to help developers recoup some expense in housing projects.
The request for the policy was made by Junction City Main Street to help spark development of upper-floor residential space above downtown businesses.
The commission will also consider a pair of special use permits. The first would allow a church at 823 St. Washington, which is zoned in a commercial service restricted district. The second would allow a tattoo studio at 703 N. Washington, which is zoned in a central commercial district.
City staff is recommending both requests be approved.
The meeting is scheduled at 7 p.m. Tuesday. Click HERE for the complete agenda.
