B. The project promotes higher density infill housing. The lead agency may establish its own criteria for determining whether the project promotes higher density infill housing except in either of the following two circumstances: 1) A project with a density of at least 20 units per acre is conclusively presumed to promote higher density infill housing. 2) A project with a density of at least 10 units per acre and a density greater than the average density of the residential properties within 1,500 feet shall be presumed to promote higher density infill housing unless the preponderance of the evidence demonstrates otherwise. 5. Meets the following requirements regarding availability of affordable housing: The project would result in housing units being made available to moderate, low, or very low income families as set forth in either A or B below: A. The project meets one of the following criteria, and the project developer provides sufficient legal commitments to the appropriate local agency to ensure the continued availability and use of the housing units as set forth below at monthly housing costs determined pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (h) of Section 65589.5 of the Government Code. 1) At least 10-percent of the housing is sold to families of moderate income, or 2) Not less than 10-percent of the housing is rented to families of low income, or 3) Not less than 5-percent of the housing is rented families of very low income. B. If the project does not result in housing units being available as set forth in subdivision (A) above, then the project developer has paid or will pay in -lieu fees pursuant to a local ordinance in an amount sufficient to result in the development of an equivalent number of units that would otherwise be required pursuant to subparagraph (A). The project site is not more than four acres in area, the project does not include any single level building exceeding 100,000 square feet, and the project is an infill development within one-half mile of a major transit stop. Moreover, the development promotes higher density infill housing, does not contain more than 100 residential units, and results in housing units made available to low income families. Lastly, the project is providing eight (8) onsite units available for sale to low-income households, which exceeds the abovementioned 10-percent requirement to be sold for moderate -income households. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2022-08 will be filed for this project. Section 3.
