Seattle City Council is starting discussions on incentive zoning for workforce housing. The intent is to encourage developers to build more affordable housing for families that are not in poverty, but who make below median income.
This discussion will have a direct impact in the Northgate area as there is a proposal to upzone areas in the Northgate Urban Core in which developers would be allowed to build higher than currently zoned if they include affordable housing. The specifics of what would be required are being discussed now.
See more on this issue in the Seattle PI.
