This ordinance outlines use and design standards for both rental and owner-occupied affordable housing. It requires that at least 10% of units in new developments within eligible zones are made affordable and ensures that these units will incorporate the same design features and have access to the same amenities as market-rate units. It also establishes density bonuses and parking requirement reductions to incentivize increased affordable development.
