Inclusionary Zoning: Making it Work in Charlottesville Webinar, presented by Livable Cville

Charlottesville’s new zoning code has a new inclusionary zoning requirement that would increase the city’s supply of affordable housing in many new developments. When designed well, inclusionary zoning can be a tool to improve housing access; however, when designed poorly it can create barriers to all kinds of housing. This webinar will help us improve our understanding of strategies to make inclusionary zoning work well, and we’ll make time for Q&A from the audience.
