JONESBORO, Ark. (KAIT) - Jonesboro residents may get another option for affordable living.
The Metropolitan Area Planning Commission discussed adding cottage-style housing to the city at Tuesday’s meeting.
The Cottage Housing Ordinance features houses designed for 1-2 people without undergoing the subdivision process. The goal, the MAPC says, is to “encourage affordability, innovation, and variety in housing design and site development.”
“It kinda gives us another way to provide additional types of housing that we currently are not having,” Derrel Smith, Director of Planning with the Jonesboro MAPC, said. “We’ve had some of the local developers looking at different ways to find alternative housing in Jonesboro.”
