However, cities must be prepared to mitigate its negative effects, such as the loss in affordable housing stock and the increase in housing segregation.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">A 2019<a href=\"https:\/\/ncrc.org\/gentrification\/\"><span lang=\"EN\"> report<\/span><\/a><span lang=\"EN\"> from a DC-based policy group, the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, concluded that Philadelphia is one of the most gentrifying cities in the United States. It found that over a thirteen-year period, Philadelphia had the fourth highest number of census tracts become gentrified, trailing only Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and New York City.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">Philadelphia has three tools to respond to displacement: <b>land<\/b>, <b>money<\/b>, and <b>policy incentives<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">Philadelphia\u2019s Land Bank conveys City-owned land at a reduced rate to housing developers who promise a fixed percentage of affordable units in their new housing developments.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">Philadelphia\u2019s Housing Trust Fund spends City funds to promote affordable housing production, existing housing preservation, promote homeownership, help meet rental obligations, and assist in making houses habitable for vulnerable populations. In 2016 alone, the Housing Trust Fund\u2019s financial contributions assisted 13,823 households.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">Finally, at the end of the 2018 legislative session, City Council created an incentive-based Inclusionary Zoning program. The <span style=\"font-size: medium;\">&#8220;<\/span><b>mixed-income housing bonus<\/b>&#8221; allows developers of new multifamily residences to take advantage of floor area, building height, and housing unit density bonuses in exchange for providing 10% of units in a development at an affordable rate, or by making an in-lieu payment to the Housing Trust Fund. Inclusionary Zoning programs are widespread across the nation\u2019s cities and affluent counties. They allow municipalities to incentivize the market to create affordable housing on its own.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">Proponents of inclusionary zoning were relieved to have passed <i>something<\/i>, since the bill\u2019s lead sponsor, Councilwoman Qui\u00f1ones-S\u00e1nchez had been pushing for inclusionary zoning since the prior session. The Building Industry Association was also relieved, since it succeeded in getting the proposal to be <i>voluntary<\/i> rather than <i>mandatory<\/i> (the latter of which Councilwoman Qui\u00f1ones-S\u00e1nchez preferred). Not all were pleased. A member of a concerned citizens\u2019 group exclaimed that she and others who wanted mandatory zoning had been &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/whyy.org\/articles\/city-council-passes-71m-housing-bill\/\"><span lang=\"EN\">bamboozled<\/span><\/a><span lang=\"EN\">.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">Though the program has had some tentative <a href=\"https:\/\/whyy.org\/articles\/philadelphias-controversial-new-affordable-housing-policy-might-actually-be-working\/\"><span lang=\"EN\">success<\/span><\/a><span lang=\"EN\"> thus far, its impact is small. Nine months into the program, only twelve projects had expressed an interest in utilizing the program, and because nine of the projects had announced their intention to pay into the Fund, rather than provide on-site affordable housing, the potential for mixed-income communities is missed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">While Philadelphia\u2019s Inclusionary Zoning policy was undoubtedly a carefully crafted compromise, and recognizing that the program is only a year old, several improvements could be made to increase the impact of the program and to support the broader goals of alleviating Philadelphia\u2019s affordable housing needs.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong>Make Inclusionary Zoning mandatory for developers that take advantage of a certain level of public financing assistance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">The Inclusionary Zoning program makes subsidized developers ineligible for bonuses. Not only should they be ineligible for bonuses, but developers who receive a certain amount of subsidies or tax incentives from the City should be <i>required<\/i> to contribute to Philadelphia\u2019s affordable housing needs.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">Treating developers who receive public financing assistance differently under an Inclusionary Zoning program is not a novel concept. Chicago\u2019s mandatory Inclusionary Zoning program imposes heightened affordability requirements if a development receives tax incentives, while Detroit imposes heightened requirements if developments are subsidized with over $500,000 in city <i>or<\/i> federal funds.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong>Increase commercial participation in funding the Trust Fund<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">The program makes eligible only zoning designations that permit household living. But this is preventing the program from raising more money for the Housing Trust Fund, which lacks a robust permanent funding source.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">Industrial Commercial Mixed-Use (ICMX) zoned properties, which accommodate commercial and low-impact industrial uses, and Auto-Oriented Commercial zoned properties, (CA) which are auto-accessible shopping centers, could similarly receive bonuses without being disruptive on the community. All sorts of businesses, including restaurants, markets, and medical practices can utilize land zoned under these designations.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong>Preference existing community in on-site affordable units<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">Preserving existing community ties is a crucial part of mitigating the effects of gentrification. A stronger advertising requirement or a lottery system that preferences existing residents in awarding on-site affordable units could serve these goals. Current law does not explicitly include any of these options.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1993\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/lppp\/inclusionary-zoning-a-welcome-addition-to-phillys-anti-displacement-toolkit\/pic-2\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/lppp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pic-2.png\" data-orig-size=\"894,373\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Pic 2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/lppp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pic-2-300x125.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/lppp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pic-2.png\" class=\" wp-image-1993 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/lppp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pic-2-300x125.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"439\" height=\"183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/lppp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pic-2-300x125.png 300w, https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/lppp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pic-2-768x320.png 768w, https:\/\/www2.law.temple.edu\/lppp\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pic-2.png 894w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 439px) 100vw, 439px\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">For example, San Francisco\u2019s affordable unit preference policy advantages previously displaced residents, community members, and those who already live or work in San Francisco.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong>Increase opportunities for developers to more directly contribute to affordable housing needs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"LTR\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">Current law disfavors off-site housing production as a compliance option for the affordability requirement.
