(d) Adaptive Reuse. Adaptive reuse development projects pursuant to Chapter 41, Article XVI.II — Adaptive Reuse. Sec. 41-1904. - Options to satisfy inclusionary requirements. (a) On -site units. The primary means of complying with the inclusionary requirements of this article shall be the provision of on -site inclusionary units in accordance with section 41-1901, above. A developer may only satisfy the requirements of this article by means of an alternative to on -site inclusionary units in accordance with the requirements and procedures of this section. (b) Off -site units. 1. New units. The developer may satisfy the inclusionary unit requirements for the project, in whole or in part by constructing the required new inclusionary housing at a different location within the city borders at the ratio of one square foot of habitable inclusionary unit space for each required habitable square foot. While the total habitable square footage area of the required new inclusionary units must be the same as the sum -total of the number of habitable square feet for the project as directed by this ordinance, the number of units and bedrooms associated with the off -site units may be approved by the review authority of the city, consistent with the type of affordable housing needed at the time of project review. 2. Rehabilitated units outside a designated target area. The developer may satisfy the inclusionary unit requirements for the project, in whole or in part by substantially rehabilitating existing housing units elsewhere within the borders of the city at a rate of one and one-half (1'/2) habitable square feet per each required habitable square foot of inclusionary units. 3. Rehabilitated units within a designated target area. Upon application, the developer may satisfy the inclusionary unit requirements for the project, in whole or in part by substantially rehabilitating existing housing units elsewhere within the borders of the city at a rate of one habitable square foot per each required habitable square foot of affordable inclusionary units. (c) In -lieu fee. (1) More than 20 units. A Residential Project comprised of more than twenty (20) residential lots or residential units, the developer may elect to satisfy the Inclusionary Unit requirements for the Project, in whole or in part, by payment of a fee in lieu of constructing some or all of the required units. The amount of the fee allowed by this section shall be five dollars per square foot ($5.00/ft. 2 ) of the sum total of the number of habitable square feet within the entire Project, as measured from the exterior walls of the residential units. This calculation does not include exterior hallways, common areas, landscape, open space or exterior stairways. Ordinance No. NS-2994 Page 8 of 17
