Temporary Housing Development Incentive Program (THDIP)
Description
A temporary citywide ordinance, not a single project, that exempts housing projects of 20 units or fewer from inclusionary housing requirements if they obtain a vertical building permit by December 30, 2027; larger projects keep current rules.
Impact summary
Could unlock immediate construction on roughly 34 entitled townhome units, but affordable housing advocates warn it gives away inclusionary benefits on small projects.
