Inclusionary Update
Raise the Below Market Rate requirement for new developments from 15% to 20%
Supported as a tool to meet RHNA goals and to provide affordable housing.
Raise Below Market Rate (BMR) Fees
Raise BMR in-lieu fees from developers to reflect the actual cost of building an affordable housing unit more closely.
Staff is supportive of a potential review and update to the current in-lieu fee structure.
*The study issues have been proposed for future sponsorship
Toward the end of the calendar year, no later than October, boards and commissions will review the list of proposed study issues and officially vote on sponsorship for each individually listed study issue. Official sponsorship means that the study issue is approved for ranking with a majority vote of the board or commission. Staff will then prepare the sponsored study issue papers, including fiscal impact but not the staff recommendation.
