THE BENEFITS AND TECHNIQUES TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
Johnny Noon, NAR’s director of Engagement/Commercial, said NAR’s commercial committee is focused on encouraging local REALTOR® associations to work with local government to ensure that zoning allows adaptive reuse.
He said a lot of parking ordinances
are prohibitive for older buildings, which were built before the automobile, so
they don’t have a parking pedestal within or an attached parking deck.
“Our research teams are asking more about [adaptive reuse]. Our members are asking for classes on it,” he said.
“When you think about it, mom and pop landlords provide a lot of affordable housing.
At a time of a housing
crisis, we need tax incentives and zoning that supports people who are doing
adaptive reuse on a smaller scale.”
