Mandatory Housing Affordability (MHA)What is MHA and how does it work?
![Page 8: City of Seattle Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda · Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda November 9, 2016. Westwood– Highland Park.

What is MHA?
Growth with affordability
• All new multifamily and commercial development must either build or pay into a fund for affordable housing
• Provides additional development capacity to partially offset the cost of these requirements (zoning changes)
• A state-approved approach other local cities have used

Principles to Guide MHA ImplementationHow the MHA Principles inform the draft zoning maps
![Page 17: City of Seattle Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda · Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda November 9, 2016. Westwood– Highland Park. Brennon Staley and David Goldberg.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041418/5e1d30432c9ed17bbb167dcc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

MHA Principles
Based on community input Online
Focus Groups & Community Meetings

18
Core principles
• MHA goal is at least 6,000 affordable homes in the next 10 years
• Create affordable housing opportunities throughout the city
• Expand housing options in existing single-family zones within urban villages
• Expand the boundaries or urban villages to allow more homes near good transit
• Evaluate MHA implementation using a social and racial equity lens
![Page 19: City of Seattle Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda · Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda November 9, 2016. Westwood– Highland Park. Brennon Staley and David Goldberg.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041418/5e1d30432c9ed17bbb167dcc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Principle: Housing Options
Encourage a wide variety of housing sizes, including family-sized homes.
![Page 21: City of Seattle Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda · Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda November 9, 2016. Westwood– Highland Park. Brennon Staley and David Goldberg.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041418/5e1d30432c9ed17bbb167dcc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Principle: Transitions
• Plan for transitions between higher- and lower-scale zones as additional development capacity is accommodated.
![Page 22: City of Seattle Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda · Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda November 9, 2016. Westwood– Highland Park. Brennon Staley and David Goldberg.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041418/5e1d30432c9ed17bbb167dcc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Principle: Assets and Infrastructure
• Consider locating more housing near neighborhood assets and infrastructure such as parks, schools, and transit.
![Page 23: City of Seattle Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda · Housing Affordability and Livability Agenda November 9, 2016. Westwood– Highland Park. Brennon Staley and David Goldberg.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041418/5e1d30432c9ed17bbb167dcc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Principle: Neighborhood Urban Design

• Urban Village Expansion‒ Seattle 2035 Plan
‒ 10-minute walk to transit
‒ Urban Villages:• Services and business
• Amenities (e.g., libraries, parks)
• Transit connections
• Walk and bike friendly

Hatched areas
• Change from one zoning type to another(e.g., Multifamily to Neighborhood Commercial)
• A change other than a typical amount(e.g., Single Family to Lowrise 1)

Your feedback
Does the draft map match the MHA Principles?
Zone changes:• Is the location, and scale of the draft zone change
reasonable to implement MHA affordable housing in this neighborhood?
Single Family rezone areas:• Are the Residential Small Lot (RSL) and Lowrise (LR)
zones proposed in appropriate places?
