Artist Housing Guidelines

The guidelines include information on how to design, create, maintain, and support artist housing. These guidelines are for you if you are:

• a developer with an inclusionary housing requirement or an interest in developing a new building specifically geared to artist housing
• an owner of an existing building with artists in it, and you want to sell your building and keep the artists there
• a property owner in an industrial zone eager to redevelop it for an allowable use
• an artist or artist community who wants to buy or stabilize the building you work and live in
• a designer or architecture studio working on artist housing for the first time, or
• staff at a City department who wants to integrate artists into the planning process, or guide development in a way that is efficient, effective, and supportive for creative communities overall.
