Official Text

To the Honorable Board of Aldermen:

On December 9, 2015, members of the Planning Board and BOA Land Use Committee held a public hearing on #200102, an amendment submitted by 11 voters on Inclusionary Zoning. Among its recommendations for the Board of Aldermen's consideration was the following:

Item 3 - Tenancy Preservation: Leases for the rental units created under the provisions of this Article 13 shall provide that tenants occupying such units shall not be evicted at any time except for good cause based on tenant fault and shall be comparable to the provisions of 12 USC 1715z-1b(3) which governs leases and evictions for multi-family housing subsidized by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Attached please find a copy of the formal recommendation from the Planning Board.

Respectfully submitted,

John J. Long, City Clerk
