Encourage the placement of housing units of various economic value throughout new multi-family and mixed-use developments (i.e. market rate units next to workforce/affordable units)

Based on hous­ing trends and eco­nom­ic con­di­tions, it should be required that a cer­tain per­cent­age of units in all new mul­ti-fam­i­ly hous­ing devel­op­ments and mixed-use build­ings are afford­able, and that these units are inter­spersed through­out those of high­er val­ue. The zon­ing code should be revised to ensure that afford­able hous­ing units are inter­spersed among those that are mar­ket rate, as opposed to clus­tered togeth­er or phys­i­cal­ly sep­a­rate from oth­er hous­ing units.
