The purpose of this chapter is to implement the policies of the comprehensive plan related to housing by:
A. 
Creating an environment in which construction of a full range of owner-occupied and rental housing at affordable prices is encouraged;
B. 
Providing residential zones of varying densities, with flexible design and development standards to encourage innovation and reduce housing costs;
C. 
Accommodating compatible nonresidential development—including, but not limited to, schools, churches, parks, recreation facilities, day care centers, and neighborhood commercial uses and services—at appropriate locations and scales; and
D. 
Enhancing the livability of neighborhoods by encouraging diversity in housing stock and promoting opportunities for walkability.
