Explanation
Inclusionary zoning requires or encourages developers to include a percentage of affordable units (set-aside housing) within market-rate developments. Nevada's housing affordability crisis, particularly in Las Vegas and Reno, has prompted discussion of inclusionary zoning policies. Some Nevada jurisdictions offer density bonuses (allowing more units) in exchange for affordable unit set-asides. Inclusionary zoning is a land use tool that directly affects development economics and housing costs.
