IZ and Transit-Oriented Development
I am looking for examples of mandatory inclusionary zoning policies or voluntary density bonus programs that provide additional incentives for development in targeted areas close to public transit stations, frequent bus lines, or bus rapid transit OR to projects near employment or economic development centers. Please add a reply below if your community has this type of incentive, or if you are aware of one that does. Thank you!

The New Jersey Fair Housing Act has the following provisions:
b. A developer of a project consisting of newly-constructed residential units being
financed in whole or in part with State funds, including, but not limited to, transit villages
designated by the Department of Transportation, units constructed on State-owned property, and
urban transit hubs as defined pursuant to section 2 of P.L.2007, c.346 (C.34:1B-208), shall be
required to reserve at least 20 percent of the residential units constructed for occupancy by low
or moderate income households, as those terms are defined in section 4 of P.L.1985, c.222
(C.52:27D-304), with affordability controls as required under the rules of the council, unless the
municipality in which the property is located has received substantive certification from the
council and such a reservation is not required under the approved affordable housing plan, or the
municipality has been given a judgment of repose or a judgment of compliance by the court, and
such a reservation is not required under the approved affordable housing plan.
However, there is a legislative initiative proposed to reduce the setaside to 10% -
