“City of Yes” Proposed Zoning Changes—What You Need to Know

According to the Boston Globe, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu plans to seek revisions to the City's zoning code by creating certain "by-right" zoning to encourage additional density and mixed-use development throughout the City. From a development perspective, this would be a welcomed change from the current antiquated zoning which tends to stifle development. As most Boston developers know and have experienced, Boston is "downzoned," meaning most of the denser and aesthetically pleasing buildings constructed in the 19th and early 20th centuries would violate modern zoning laws. As a result, any developer seeking to develop a project of any size or density will be required to obtain variances -- zoning relief -- in order to pursue their project. But the legal standard for upholding variances is notoriously difficult and any well-financed abutter or group of abutters will at the least be able to tie up an unwanted project for years in litigation and appeals. The costs of litigation and delay, particularly in a higher inflation and interest rate environment, sometimes make the difference between a project moving forward or not. By-right zoning of a certain size could remove these costs and make Boston more attractive for developers. If successful, Mayor Wu's plan could start to combat the City's housing crisis in a meaningful way and perhaps set an example for the rest of the region to take similar action.

It’s important to understand history to trace the roots of policies that now shape our cities. Outcomes such as segregation, lack of access to housing, exclusion, and disinvestment are all linked to the zoning codes that are often still in place. Land use reform is necessary to create #CityForAll https://lnkd.in/gedXCGbA

Have you heard about the "City of Yes" zoning reform campaign in New York City? While it's composed of three separate proposals aimed at modernizing the city's zoning regulations, the business-focused rezoning portion might be a model for anti-displacement zoning strategies if it successfully removes barriers for small business owners to operate and grow by increasing flexibility for commercial uses. The proposal passed the City Council earlier in June and included legislation that would allow "emerging business types" to locate in more areas throughout the city, increase the allowable home-based business types, and modify regulations to support the adaptive reuse of vacant storefronts. See a summary of the passed legislation here: https://lnkd.in/e2njPdKN

Perhaps finding creative solutions within the existing limitations is one of the answers to addressing the housing crisis.... At least while we're waiting for political will and public opinion to catch up and allow for communities to tackle out-dated zoning reform head-on.
