UAP

The Universal Affordability Preference is a floor-area mechanism introduced by the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity zoning changes. In the medium- and higher-density residence districts where it applies, UAP allows additional residential floor area beyond the base maximum for housing that meets the program's affordability standards — replacing the older voluntary Inclusionary Housing geometry in much of its former territory with a simpler, more broadly available bonus.

As with all inclusionary mechanisms, the operative details — where it applies, how much additional floor area, and at what affordability levels — are regulation values that must be read from the current Zoning Resolution text for the district in question. On a lot report, UAP eligibility shows up as an additional row in the district's bulk table, alongside the as-of-right rows.
