CHARGE
Removing Barriers to Affordable Housing Development and Preservation Subcommittee (RBSC) is charged with recommending improvements to the Unified Development Code and other City process to facilitate more affordable housing development in San Antonio.
Goals
The goals are to deliver proposed UDC amendments for the 2022 UDC amendment cycle in the short term. Mid-term goals are to monitor the UDC amendment process, identify and propose process changes to other City processes. In the long term, the subcommittee will submit recommendations for updates to other City processes.
background
This work began in 2019 to focus on reducing cost burden, removing barriers to ADU development, and other policies related to affordable housing. The work was paused in 2020 due to the pandemic but resumed in 2021. The group became a subcommittee of the Housing Commission in October 2021.
RBSC meets the 3rd Tuesday of every month. Meeting details will be posted on SA SpeakUp.
