Inclusionary Zoning Debate Kicks off at City Hall

Read the report.

The Minneapolis City Planning Commission held a preliminary discussion about inclusionary zoning on Thursday night. Inclusionary zoning is a requirement that new apartment construction include a certain percentage of affordable units.

Until a permanent policy can be adopted, City Council President Lisa Bender wants to implement an interim policy alongside the Minneapolis 2040 Comprehensive Plan. As outlined in a staff report, "The interim inclusionary housing ordinance would apply only to projects that propose a substantial increase in the allowable residential development capacity."
