Getting Inclusionary Housing Right

JOIN US VIRTUALLY ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24TH 12PM

Cities across Santa Clara County are considering this powerful tool to build more new affordable homes without subsidy.

But done wrong it can fall short, or even stop the development of new homes in its tracks. Learn how it works, and how to get it right!

Many of our local cities are joining forces right now in a shared nexus study, the wonky and in-depth analysis that assesses the feasibility of local residential development and the potential for developers of market-rate housing to add a share of affordable homes to their buildings.

If cities require too few affordable homes or affordability that’s too shallow, they leave public benefits on the table. Too much, and developers can’t build any housing at all.

Come hear about local cities that are getting it right: successfully using inclusionary housing policies to achieve mixed-income communities, generate funding to subsidize deeper levels of affordability, and gain valuable land for affordable homes!

At the March 19, 2019 Council Meeting, the City Council directed staff to draft an Oversized Vehicle Parking Prohibition Ordinance and a Safe Parking Ordinance. According to the city’s Future Agenda Items calendar, the City Council is scheduled to hold a hearing on the resulting ordinances on June 11th. The Oversized Vehicle Parking Ban has been highly controversial. The ACLU, Law Foundation of Silicon Valley, and Stanford Community Law Clinic have sent letters to the council questioning the ban’s constitutionality. Advocates have also pointed out that the proposed safe parking ordinance will not provide nearly enough spaces to host the number of large vehicles being used for shelter in Mountain View.

Full information and updates on the city’s RV Parking Prohibition and Safe Parking Ordinance can be found on the city’s site.
