Title

Inclusionary Housing Ordinance Amendment

Description

Amend the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (IHO) that already applies to projects with 10 or more units, to apply to projects with from 2 to 9 units. An in-lieu fee of $17,700 per market rate unit included in the project (payable prior to occupancy for 2 through 4 units), would be charged when an affordable unit would not be provided as part of the project. The ordinance would also state that where 1 to 4 units are proposed the first unit would not be required to pay the in-lieu fee. The requirement for a lot area modification for inclusionary housing would be eliminated. The in-lieu fee could be used for purchasing and reselling of existing middle and upper middle income housing, subsidizing the creation fo middle and upper middle income housing, and ensuring compliance with middle and upper middle income housing policies and procedures. Approval of the proposed amendment to the IHO itself would have no direct adverse impacts on the environment becuase it is a change in the requirements for exactions when projects including from 2 to 9 units are approved.
