Removing Barriers to Affordable Housing Development and Preservation Subcommittee (RBSC)
The Removing Barriers to Affordable Housing Development Subcommittee (RBSC) is charged with recommending improvements to the Unified Development Code and other City processes to facilitate more affordable housing development in San Antonio. 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 and identify and propose process changes to other City processes. In the long term, the subcommittee will submit recommendations for updates to other City processes.
This work began in 2019 to focus on reducing the 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 is resumed in 2021.
