Answer 1

Maurice required to pay into this fund and, if so, why? Does he have any other options?

Step-by-step explanation:

Maurice IS required to pay into this fund due to the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance. He must either set aside a designated number of units for low-to-moderate-income housing; or, in certain cases, like Maurice's, he may pay into the fund. If he refuses his building permit will be denied.
