Many developers view it as a kick-me-when-I’m-down measure, but inclusionary zoning (IZ) is expected to go into effect in D.C. starting Aug. 14, according to the Office of Planning. (See WBJ story from 6/13/2008)
IZ makes D.C. one of the most progressive affordable housing jurisdictions in the country. In short, it requires most developments of 10 or more units to offer a portion at below market rate, offering developers bonus density in exchange. (See WBJ story from 5/15/2009 here).
We will be covering some of the rule’s intricacies in Friday’s paper, but it’s clear there are a lot of different agencies involved. The Office of Planning largely wrote the regulations, while the Department Housing and Community Development is responsible for locating residents for the affordable units and the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs will be monitoring compliance for the new “certificate of inclusionary zoning compliance” it will be issuing.
DCRA provided a draft of the new application for the certificate.

Looks like inclusionary zoning isn’t a hot topic. So it goes.
