Understanding Incentive Zoning
Incentive zoning is a planning and development tool that allows developers to increase the intensity or density of their projects in exchange for providing certain public benefits or amenities. These benefits may include affordable housing units, public open space, historic preservation, or other community improvements. Incentive zoning is typically used in urban areas to encourage the development of projects that align with the goals of the community or local government. By offering developers incentives to include these public benefits in their projects, incentive zoning can help create more sustainable and vibrant neighborhoods while also promoting economic development.
