Answer our survey on inclusionary zoning

In 2020-2021, we shared information, gathered feedback from stakeholders, and completed our market impact study. Staff presented the findings of that study to each of the city councils and sought their direction for next steps. Here are the presentations that were given:

• Kitchener - Sept. 28, 2020 Planning and Strategic Initiatives Committee
• Waterloo - Dec. 7, 2020 Council Meeting
• Cambridge - May 11, 2021 Staff Report

We are now looking for feedback from community members who may benefit from inclusionary zoning policy about:

• The level of affordability that the policy should target
• Whether the policy is geared toward new rental dwellings, new condo ownership units or both
• Whether the City should consider financial and/or planning tools to offset the cost to the private developer of building affordable units, such as density increases
• Whether the developer should be able to build the affordable units on a different site within the same general area.

You can share your feedback in a few different ways:

• Fill out a survey
• Share your ideas
• Share your concerns

We’ve also added some related information to this page, including a video and a presentation about affordable housing and inclusionary zoning.

We encourage you to explore the information available on these pages, watch the video, and take a few minutes to fill out the survey and leave a comment!
