[Massplanners] Inclusionary Zoning

[Katrina O'leary]

Hi Martha,
In Middleton, I am focusing first on the creation of an Affordable Housing Trust.  I am hoping to get the green light to submit a warrant creating an AHT at the spring 2022  town meeting.  This is in preparation for developing an Inclusionary Zoning bylaw as a result of our ongoing Zoning Bylaw update.  I’ve put draft articles and samples of AHT websites (thank you Beverly and Danvers!) in the following Google Drive for when you decide to focus on the creation of an Affordable Housing Trust: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UEaRGCfQvQMn15ggiKodQH5SbLD2SNl4?usp=sharing

Good luck!

Good Morning,

We are considering developing an Inclusionary Zoning By-Law for Newbury and I am wondering if any of you have one in place that you think works well that you would be willing to share.  Also, have any of your communities adopted an Inclusionary Zoning By-Law or Ordinance without having a Housing Authority and Affordable Housing Trust?  We have neither.

Any input on provisions of your by-law that you think work particularly well, or, on the flip side, any pitfalls or provisions that you think have turned out to be problematic, would also be very much appreciated.

Thanks very much!

Martha
