IZ Ordinance in January 2006 to include condominium conversions and its Density Bonus Ordinance in May 2006. . The City's Downtown Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Strategy is looking at ways to inerease rider ship within an area near HART, a public transit system. TOO participants are looking at opportunity sites, the right mix of land uses, parking regulations, allowable density, and building height and design characteristics to maximize the use of'puhlic transit in this area. Ifnew residential development at increased densities occurs, it will likely increase the number of afT or dab Ie housing units created through the City's inclusionary zoning requirement. Also, the condominium market rate development would add housing stock that would be more affordable than new single family development, providing a range of housing product type. Educating City residents about the benefits of development near public transit will help reduce barriers to affordable housing. This reasibility strategy is funded by the Metropolitan Transpor1ation Corporation.
