Overview of Canadian Inclusionary Housing PoliciesThree major Canadian cities – Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver – have formally enacted inclusionary housing policies. Although different in many ways, the policies share sufficient features to provide the basis for a limited but effective inclusionary housing approach that could be used widely across Canada. Case Studies of US Inclusionary Zoning ProgramsCase studies have been prepared for six programs in the US. These are drawn from the better-known and generally more successful programs. They were also selected to include examples from communities of different sizes and from various locations across the US. These case studies are based upon a review of the available literature on these programs, current municipal regulations and reports, as well as multiple interviews with the program administrators and other key staff. Toronto ON: Large Sites PolicyThe basis for an inclusionary housing program in Toronto has been established by policy 9 of its Official Plan – its so-called ‘large sites policy’. Toronto’s Official Plan was approved by Council in 2002, but part of this policy was appealed by the development industry to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB), and did not come into effect until mid-2006 after mutually-agreed clarifications were made. |
