Use regenerative farming techniques to grow food and energy crops
Restore our soil quality
Ensure water is fairly shared and not wasted
Increase local food security and jobs
Establish local food processing facilities (ex. Canneries, fruit dryers, juicers)
Reduce waste of existing locally grown food
Integrate diversified farms with housing
Support efforts to reform zoning rules to permit more farmers to live on or near their farms
Affordable Housing Goals
Build more affordable housing faster
There has to be a balance between speeding up the process and taking in the community’s input
Facilitate the creation of a County Affordable Housing Advocate
Revise the permitting process to ensure affordable housing developers are able to build quicker with lower costs while still taking into account the community’s wants and ensuring a small environmental footprint
Explore county or state purchase or lease of land for housing
Ensure affordability in perpetuity
Create livable communities with green space corridors
Mixed communities: rentals mixed with home buyers, mixed economic backgrounds
Easy access to work, schools, easily walkable, public transportation, green spaces, needs pathways, small businesses, places of worship, community centers
Design for a small environmental footprint
All development planning must take into account how required infrastructure (i.e., wastewater, roads) will impact surrounding communities (scarcity, pollution, traffic, etc.)
