Long Beach finally has an inclusionary housing policy after the City Council voted unanimously to approve two ordinances Tuesday night that will require developers to include affordable units in future developments or require them to pay fees into an account that will fund low-cost units.
The vote comes after years of discussion about instituting an inclusionary housing policy in the city. Pending final approval for the new rules, the city will eventually require developers to set aside 11% of the units in a rental development for affordable housing and 10% of units in any residential development where the homes are sold.
