Inclusionary Zoning

Inclusionary zoning ordinances require a given share the units in future developments to be affordable. Inclusionary zoning ordinances place deed restrictions on a certain percentage of new units to make them affordable to low income renters and buyers. Inclusionary zoning ordinances have been enacted from the city level to the state level. Under these ordinances, the construction of market rate units is tied to the construction of affordable units.
