Local land use policies affect the development of housing that is affordable. This training focuses on how zoning codes, impact fees, development standards, and review processes impact the cost of development and how local governments can use their land use authority to require, facilitate, and encourage the production of affordable housing. Presenters will discuss topics such as the
new land use flexibility provided in House Bill 1339 from the 2020 Legislative Session, density bonuses, missing middle housing, and how to address NIMBY opposition to affordable development.
