As you are aware, the economic development bill adopted in January 2021 included Section 3A of M.G.L. c. 40A (the Zoning Act). Section 3A requires that each MBTA community have at least one zoning district that meets certain criteria, including allowing multifamily housing by right, to enable housing production. How an inclusionary housing ordinance is structured impacts whether it is considered “as of right” and in compliance with Section 3A. It is critical that Salem remains in compliance to continue to be eligible for State funds, including grants from the Housing Choice Initiative, Local Capital Projects Fund, and the MassWorks Infrastructure program. Section 3A Compliance On February 24, 2022, the City completed the first part of the compliance requirements. In the fall of 2022, the City participated in the initial round of technical assistance with the Massachusetts Housing Partnership (MHP) to evaluate whether the Central Business (B5) zoning district is in compliance with Section 3A. MHP concluded it appears the B5 is in compliance. In the coming weeks, the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) will release the formal application for communities to demonstrate they are in compliance with Section 3A. Impact of Section 3A on Inclusionary Zoning On October 21, 2022 DHCD published revised Compliance Guidelines for Multi-family Zoning Districts Under Section 3A of the Zoning Act. Per the revised guidelines, if the zoning district requires residential units to be affordable below 80% of the area median income (AMI) then the process is not considered “as of right” therefore would not be in compliance with Section 3A. However, the guidelines state that it will allow for affordability deeper than 80% AMI at the discretion of DHCD if the affordability requirements applicable in the multi-family zoning district are supported by an economic feasibility analysis, prepared for the municipality by a qualified and independent third party acceptable to DHCD, and using a methodology and format acceptable to DHCD. To that end, the inclusionary housing ordinance will not be filed  10 CITY OF SALEM FEBRUARY 23, 2023 REGULAR MEETING MAYOR’S INFORMATIONAL PAGE until after an economic feasibility study is prepared. Planning staff has applied for technical assistance through the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) to assist with an economic feasibility analysis. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact Deputy Director of Planning & Community Development, Amanda Chiancola at 978-619-5685 or achiancola@salem.com Thank you for your attention to this matter.
