The briefs of other parties in the litigation emphasized inclusionary zoning’s goal of increasing the supply of affordable housing.

Framing Inclusionary Zoning: Exploring The Legality Of Local Inclusionary Zoning And Its Potential To Meet Affordable Housing Needs, Tim Iglesias
Tim Iglesias

Courts have not developed a consistent jurisprudence regarding IZ ordinances. The legality of IZ ordinances depends upon how they are framed by the governments who enact them, the opponents who challenge them, and the courts that decide the cases.

Next, the article analyzes the case law to demonstrate how framing has operated to affect …
