The following properties are being considered for placement in an Affordable Housing Overlay District (AHOD). An Affordable Housing Overlay District provides a predictable zoning path to encourage an
increase in the creation of affordable homes.
No property on this list is required to be replaced nor will affordable development happen quickly. An owner can choose either the Affordable Housing Overlay zoning requirements for 100% affordable units,
or stick with the original, underlying zoning. The goal is to create more Arlington homes that, for example, might be affordable to an early to mid-career Arlington teacher.
It is proposed that properties in the Affordable Housing Overlay District be 100% affordable and 100% residential with mixed use allowed, but not required.
The draft list of properties for the Affordable Housing Overlay District meet a number of the following objectives:
- Larger sites suited for the scale of development that could be funded by the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, which is the largest funder of affordable housing in the state; and/or adjacent
parcels to create a large enough aggregate site.
- Limit demolition of existing homes or apartments (avoid replacing naturally occurring affordable with new, more expensive market rate housing, since we have zoning options that already allow that.)
- Located near transit/bus stops, and/or schools, services, stores
- By-right with review, as an alternative to 40Bs, which are not 100% affordable.
The intention is to allow additional sites to be added to this list over time, provided certain criteria are met.
