§ 2100. Purpose and intent.

Latest version.

The purpose and intent of this article is to encourage the development of high-quality housing that is affordable by households with annual incomes falling within a prescribed range for prospective purchasers and prospective renters of workforce housing, respectively, set forth in the Workforce Housing provisions of chapter 16 of the City Code and who live or work in Virginia Beach. Because such households generally, although not uniformly, consist of one (1) or two (2) working members, such housing is termed "workforce housing." In order to accomplish that goal, this article establishes incentives for the construction of workforce housing in areas of the city, including Strategic Growth Areas, in which the Comprehensive Plan recognizes increased density to be appropriate. Equally importantly, this article also ensures that workforce housing will be well-designed, of high quality, and well-integrated into the overall development of which it is a component.
