The Architectural and Site Review Board (ASRB) of Woodside Town convened on September 8, 2025, to discuss several key topics, primarily focusing on housing development and ongoing projects in the area. The meeting highlighted the town's progress in meeting housing demands, particularly through the construction of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).

During the meeting, the director provided an update on housing numbers, noting that the town has consistently exceeded projections for ADUs over the past years. This trend is encouraging as it indicates a positive response to the growing housing needs in the community. The director emphasized that the upcoming report in August would include comprehensive data from previous years to ensure accuracy in tracking housing developments.

A significant point of discussion was the state requirements for counting new housing units. The board clarified that only newly permitted units are counted, while demolished structures do not affect the current housing statistics. This distinction is crucial for understanding the town's housing landscape and planning future developments.

Additionally, the board addressed the status of the Butler project, which has faced delays due to necessary consultations with the fire district. The ASRB is awaiting further information from the applicant to proceed. It was confirmed that no properties were damaged in a recent fire incident near the project site, alleviating concerns about potential setbacks.

The meeting underscored the ASRB's commitment to addressing housing challenges while ensuring compliance with state regulations. As the board prepares for future discussions, including a follow-up on the Butler project, the community remains engaged in the ongoing development efforts that shape Woodside's residential landscape.
