Incentives OKd for developers

A plan to reward real estate developers who put affordable housing in their market-rate residential projects was approved Wednesday by the City Council.

On an 11-4 vote, the council approved a package of incentives that roll back zoning rules governing height, density, open space or the number of parking spaces for residential projects that have at least 5% of their housing units designated as affordable.
