  18. What will it do? • Gain control over local land use and reduce absentee ownership. • Provide affordable housing for lower-income residents in the community. • Promote resident ownership and control of housing. • Keep housing affordable for future residents. • Capture the value of public investment for long-term community benefit. • Build a strong base for community action.

Local governments enact inclusionary zoning to require or establish a voluntary goal for new residential developments to earmark a proportion of housing units for lower-income households. • Section Five (5), Housing Element, of the St. Lucie County Comprehensive Plan, establishes the County’s goals and methods to provide housing that meets the needs of existing and future St. Lucie County residents.
