It goes without saying that infill housing is a really hot topic in Decatur.  And as part of the Unified Development Ordinance process, last fall Decatur commissioned an Infill Housing Analysis from Market & Main, an Atlanta based City Planning Consulting Firm.

Well, the results/analyses are in and they were presented to the Commission in a work session last night.  You can view the entire presentation on the city’s website HERE.

I’m providing snapshots of the presentation slides here and you can view the full, hi-res version of the analysis HERE.

The presentation includes two slides of “findings” on the current state of the real estate market in Decatur and the Atlanta area, one slide showing Decatur’s related policies regarding infill housing, six slides of “options” taken from approaches in other cities of how to diversify the housing base, and finally two slides of “next steps”, which suggest potential paths Decatur could take based on the initial findings and the most applicable options.

Feel free to browse through below and after the jump, but to really get the full extent of what was presented, you will want to view the 50-ish minute presentation.
