Housing and Economic Development: The Ties That Bind

CALEDs Annual Conference
Event Single

Details

The state-imposed housing in all categories as an URGENCY matter, and mandated density is the State preferred legislative flavor. And while housing has the highest land residual value, current but rents and construction costs including prevailing wage can make even market rate housing development challenging. Yet every city must meet RHNA requirements or face penalties, and the 6th cycle comes due in 3 to 4 years. This panel shows cities how to use convert housing mandates into economic development programs by applying Value Capture Zoning (VCZ) zoning programs that use zoning as currency to create value. Further, this panel identifies how to couple value capture zoning with "Value Capture Districts" (aka TIF Districts), using the created value to pay for infrastructure improvements and community amenities. Also known as Housing as Economic Development (HEED), this is a new form of economic development that seeks to achieve value creation as well as compliance.
