SUBJECT:
Ordinance Establishing In-Lieu Fee Option
For Program 12 of the Housing Element
At its meeting on August 26, 1986, the City council
directed the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance providing for
fees in lieu of on-site inclusionary housing units required by
Program 12 of the Housing Element.
In response to this
direction, the accompanying ordinance has been prepared and is
presented for City Council consideration.
At the present time, the city has been enforcing Program 12
of the Housing Element by requiring on-site inclusionary units.
No mechanism currently exists for satisfying these requirements
by payment of fees to the city.
The following is a section by section analysis of the
proposed ordinance:
section 1.
This section provides that Program 12 of the
Housing Element may be satisfied by paying a specific in-lieu
fee. The amount of the fee is $3.00 per gross square foot for
the first 10,000 square feet of development and $4.00 for each
gross square foot in excess of 10,000 square feet. The payment
is due in full prior to the issuance of a certificate of
Occupancy for the project. Payment must be secured by delivering
