- Abstract
- This study investigates factors that influence multifamily housing
zoning from a hierarchical governance perspective. Local zoning is a product of
interactive processes among various stakeholders and of local politics. Since
local zoning represents community interests in land development and has an
exclusionary characteristic, multifamily housing zoning is controversial in some
localities. We hypothesize that a hierarchical governance structure influences
the supply of local multifamily housing zoning. The result of a hierarchical
generalized linear model shows evidence that state smart growth reform and
state intervention in local land use are positively associated with the establishment
of local multifamily housing zoning. The decisions are also affected by local
factors such as the supply of land, density restrictions, cost of new infrastructure,
and city budget constraints. This study concludes that state authority and smart
growth reform make it possible for local governments to commit to multifamily
housing zoning to achieve housing affordability and high-density development.
