2007 Senate Bill 67

Authorize "inclusionary zoning”

Introduced in the Senate

Jan. 24, 2007

Introduced by Sen. Tupac Hunter (D-5)

To authorize local governments to implement "inclusionary zoning,” which allows the government to impose on developers as a condition of receiving a building permit, a requirement to construct affordable dwelling units. As an incentive the local government can allow greater density than what would otherwise be permitted. It can also require that rent or sale prices on the affordable units be capped.
