It is the goal of the City of Windom to promote safe, sanitary, and decent housing and a quality living environment for all present and future residents of the community.
Encourage development of housing to meet the needs of all residents of the City, including the elderly, handicapped, low-income, and students. Enforce building codes in order to improve the quality of housing. Promote housing rehabilitation and ownership incentive programs through state and federal housing programs. Utilize zoning ordinances designating density patterns in residential areas to allow for a variety of residential development districts. Encourage preservation of the residential character and integrity of individual neighborhoods. Locate residential uses adjacent to compatible uses, or when this is impossible, buffer zones should be used.
Encourage the development of housing in areas that can most economically be serviced by public sewer and water. Encourage innovation and flexibility in housing design and development. Encourage and promote housing development opportunities within the City including multiple-family residential rental housing units. Encourage the development or redevelopment of multi- family units adjacent to or as secondary uses in or near the Central Business District. Locate subsidized and low-income housing throughout the City, and not unduly concentrated in any particular area. Encourage fair housing practices in the City.
