In September 2019, the Village Board Committee of the Whole discussed at great length a detailed report, data and a series of recommendations regarding refining Arlington Heights Affordable Guidelines. At the conclusion of the Committee of the Whole meeting, the Board directed Staff to prepare an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. Since then, Staff has conducted extensive research on other communities that have Inclusionary Housing Ordinances, as well as gathering additional data and preparing the attached Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. In December 2019, a draft ordinance was provided to the Village Board for early review and feedback.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the Committee of the Whole provide feedback, direction and recommend any desired changes to the draft ordinance and authorize Staff to make such changes for Village Board review and/or refer to the Housing Commission.
