<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Planners! The Worcester City Council is contemplating the adoption of an Inclusionary Zoning ordinance, and it would be incredibly beneficial to hear from other IZ communities about their experiences and processes related to the following
questions:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">Does the IZ requirement apply to by-right development as well as Special Permit development, and what mechanism is used as the initial screening to ensure projects comply (e.g., zoning determination form)?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">If there is a sliding scale AMI requirement (e.g., 50%, 60%, and 80% AMI), are units being created at all levels, or do developers tend to choose a particular option?<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo3">If there is a payment in lieu of option, are developers electing to use that option, or are they building the affordable housing units?<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I appreciate any insights and thoughts you’re able to share!<o:p></o:p></p>
