14 Massachusetts Inclusionary Zoning Chapter 40 B Sections (1969) as administered by the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) allows developers of affordable housing to sidestep local zoning or other locally adopted regulations. Target Population: 80% of area median income Applies to any municipality that has less than 10% affordable housing stated policy goal Allows developers more units per/acre through streamlined process when building a new development if at least 25% (20% low-income rentals) of the new units have long-term affordability restrictions Eligibility criteria: low-income set-aside; employ government housing programs; include long-term affordability restrictions. Chapter 40 R (2004) -- Smart Growth/Mixed-use Provisions (state cash incentive payments to local jurisdictions for smart growth consistent projects) Chapter 40S (2005) Support to offset additional School Expense (state cash incentive payments to local jurisdictions to offset increased educational costs) 14
15 Massachusetts Challenges Local Land-use regulations Loss of community character Limited opportunities for large-scale residential development Residency requirements (70%) Environmental regulations Resistance to increased service demands High cost of construction & maintenance Market Conditions -- Housing bubble & foreclosures Monitoring & evaluation (Developer profit restrictions) 2010 Campaign to Protect the Affordable Housing Law (58% against repeal; 42% in favor of repeal) 15

18 Massachusetts Inclusionary Zoning Impacts 56,000-60,000 dwelling units in more than 1,000 developments over 45 years 51/351 certified municipalities (exceeding 10% threshold); and substantial number now approaching that threshold 101/351 have DCHD affordable housing plans Chapters 40R, 40S added financial incentives to offset increased local expense Additional State Housing Policy Initiatives Compact Neighborhoods policies & programs Inter-agency working groups Prioritize family & individuals with disabilities facilities Accelerate anti-discrimination activities Increased attention to barriers to MTO Streamline information/application processes Devise & implement strategies & resources for supportive services 18
19 Montgomery County Maryland is located on the western border of the nation s capital. The county has evolved into a bustling county with pockets of existing cities, towns and urban districts. The affluent communities of Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Gaithersburg, Germantown, Potomac, Rockville, and Silver Spring are all located within the boundaries of Montgomery County. 19
20 Maryland (Montgomery County) Inclusionary Zoning Program Montgomery County s Moderately Priced Dwelling Unit (MPDU) program (1974) Developers applying for subdivision /site plan approval, or building permits for 50 or more dwelling units at one location are required to set aside 15% of units as MPDUs In exchange, developers receive density bonuses beyond what existing zoning permits Never challenged in court, but amended to require between 12.5% --15% MPDUs in new developments of 20 units for period of 30 years for homeownership and 99 years for rentals Eligible households typically earn between $30,000 and $81,000 to rent and between $35,000 and $81,000 for purchase Amended law requires that 40% of newly developed units be offered for sale to the Housing Opportunities Commission 20
21 Maryland (Montgomery County) Challenges As suburbs build-out, future affordable housing opportunities/production decrease As housing sales and rental prices rise reflecting increasing construction costs and growing demand, income eligibility requirements, sales and rental price controls require adjustments Importance of addressing homeowner equity led to establishment of an equity trust Environmental and/or neighborhood impacts result in pressures to reduce minimum eligibility project size and the reduction/elimination of MPDU requirements. Flexibility has been viewed as essential in achieving a balance among community impact, affordable units, and reasonable developer profits High-rise developments involve special requirements in light of their fixed costs Goal of de-concentrating moderate income population at times conflict with goal of maximizing the production of affordable housing units in the face of other challenges 21
22 Montgomery County Recent market - rate town house units sell for approximately $460,000 interspersed with affordable units selling for $156,900 or about 34% of the market price. to households making about 70% of the regional median household income or approximately $50,000/year. 22
23 Maryland (Montgomery County) Inclusionary Zoning Impacts Since the program started three decades ago, Montgomery County one of the nation s 20 wealthiest counties has produced nearly 14,029 affordable dwelling units by 2013 or about 7% of all units constructed per year Montgomery County s approach has been emulated by over 100 local jurisdictions, acknowledged as a national model Montgomery County averaged about 250 affordable units/year with a waiting list of approximately 1,200 households/year Production tends to mirror market conditions so that in 2007 production dropped to 77 units, but in 2013 returned to 554 units Additional State/Montgomery County Housing Initiatives Increase production & preservation of affordable rental housing Support sustainable homeownership Expand high-performance, healthy home purchases & improvements Expand housing choice for all people, ages with special needs, circumstances or concerns Coordinate & leverage public and private sector financial resources; foster collaboration, locally, regionally, nationally Increase well-located housing opportunities in sustainable communities with access to transportation, jobs, quality schools & human services Support housing & sustainable development plans of local communities Support housing & housing related investments that foster local sustainable economic development, local job creation & neighborhood revitalization 23
24 Lesson Learned Both Massachusetts and Maryland demonstrate that Inclusionary Zoning can be an effective planning tool adding to the production of affordable housing, capable of overcoming numerous challenges, but remaining market sensitive and only affecting a relatively narrow housing market strata by providing shallow developer incentives through regulatory relief. 24
25 Guiding Questions How do demographic & economic factors in Massachusetts & Maryland affecting affordable housing compare? How do Massachusetts & Maryland politics/governance structures affecting affordable housing compare? How do Massachusetts & Maryland housing stocks compare? How do Massachusetts & Maryland s affordable housing/ inclusionary zoning experiences compare; and what lessons might be drawn? What have been the major challenges to those initiatives? To what extent were the challenges overcome? What have been the impacts? What lesson might be drawn? 25
