(RECAP: An action plot the Charlottesville City Council is expected to adopt Monday could be a solution to a housing crisis some in the community have been calling on the city and developers to resolve for years. After the council amended the city’s Comprehensive Plot more than two years ago to include the 330-acre Strategic Investment Area south of downtown as a guide for redevelopment, staff will give the council an action plot to implement the recommendations from a 2013 study conducted by consultants in conjunction with community stakeholders. The action plot, developed by the city’s Neighborhood Development Services department, includes dozens of recommendations for zoning code changes, economic development and capital projects. A major component among the recommendations, but, calls for a significant build-out that will concentrate density and add units to the city’s housing stock.)
