[Massplanners] Inclusionary Housing Ordinances

[Darlene Wynne]

Hi Ryan
In Beverly we require 12% of units at 80% AMI or 8% of units at 60% AMI, or
a combination of both. This change was made in about 2016. We have found
that the lower affordability has been more popular and successful in recent
years in qualifying tenants. https://ecode360.com/29285153

But if it's important to get a minimum of 10% of units, that might not work
as well. We hover around 12% SHI, but do need to keep our eye on that
number.
