Provide public comment in support of affordable housing development in areas of Seattle that have been effectively off-limits.

Proposed by Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck, this legislation is a pilot program that would allow a set number of development projects to take advantage of additional density allowances in exchange for setting aside at least 25% of units as affordable for up to 50 years.

In addition, the proposal includes additional density bonuses for development on parcels that have been previously subject to racially restrict covenants.
