Council Chairman Phil Mendelson announces the scheduling of a public roundtable of the Committee of the Whole on Proposed Resolution 21-137, the “Sense of the Council in Support of Improving Inclusionary Zoning Resolution of 2015.” The roundtable will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 28, 2015 in Hearing Room 123 of the John A. Wilson Building.
The stated purpose of PR 21-137 is to express the Council’s support for amendments by the Zoning Commission to the inclusionary zoning regulations, Chapter 26 of Title 11 of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations, a program that requires new and rehabilitated residential developments to include housing units permanently affordable to low and moderate- income residents in exchange for permitting housing developers to obtain additional zoning density as a matter of right. Inclusionary zoning is generally regarded as a tool to increase the supply of affordable housing.
