Moreover, there will be no net loss of the potential residential density of housing affordable to lower income households in the jurisdiction because the parcels in Attachment 3 of the AB 2011 Resolution allow density meeting or exceeding that required by Government Code Section 65912.113(b) of 30 dwelling units per acre, the threshold established and deemed appropriate by Government Code Section 65583.2(c)(3) to accommodate housing for lower income households for jurisdictions in a metropolitan county. Additionally, the City's local inclusionary housing ordinance, known as the Affordable Housing Opportunity and Creation Ordinance (AHOCO), will require eligible projects citywide to set aside units as affordable to lower and moderate -income households for at least 55 years, ensuring access and creation of residential units affordable to lower income households. Exempting the parcels listed in Attachment 1 of the AB 2011 Resolution will result in affirmatively furthering fair housing by providing alternative development opportunities in census tracts that are generally categorized as High Resource and Moderate Resource areas by the Fair Housing Task Force Opportunity Map (2023) that was convened by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee and HCD (TCAC/HCD) and which have opportunity area composite scores that have rapidly improved since last documented in 2021. The alternative parcels are also located within specific plan areas and the five General Plan Focus Areas that have been the focus of redevelopment and investment in the City and provide increased access to amenities, public transit, and jobs. Lastly, the alternative parcels are located in areas with the infrastructure needed to accommodate high -quality housing as they are within areas where the City has planned for such uses, will comply with the land use plan and housing program that the HCD certified Housing Element is based upon, and avoid housing being developed on sites that lack the needed infrastructure and amenities to accommodate high -quality housing.
