<br /> The Density Bonus Agreement has been signed by Habitat for Humanity to

<br /> California Environmental Quality Act.
<br /> Project Description
<br /> The Project includes the construction of three new duplex buildings that would
<br /> accommodate six 100% affordable, for-sale residential units. The front two duplex
<br /> buildings (Units 1-4, closest to Washington Avenue) are designed with a similar floor
<br /> plan and each contain the same square footage of approximately 1,859-square-feet (net
<br /> floor area) for each unit. The rear duplex building (Units 5 & 6) will consist of 3,446
<br /> square-feet of floor area. In total, all new floor area onsite will be 10,882 square-feet.
<br /> Units 1-4 each will consist of three bedrooms, two and a half restrooms, a kitchen, living
<br /> room, and in-unit laundry facilities. Unit 5 will consist of 1,165 square-feet with three
<br /> bedrooms, two restrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and a balcony. Unit 6
<br /> will consist of one 1,168-square-foot ADA compliant unit with three bedrooms, two
<br /> restrooms, a dining room, living room, kitchen, and in-unit laundry facilities. Onsite there
<br /> will be a total of 15 parking stalls, which consist of two garage stalls per unit (tandem
<br /> spaces for Unit 5) and three guest surface spaces (one ADA compliant space). All six
<br /> units are proposed to be affordable to low-income households earning less than 80%
<br /> AMI, which is currently set at $129,000, adjusted for a four-person household size, as
<br /> published by HCD.
<br /> The Project architecture features a traditional farmhouse style. The overall design,
<br /> massing, features, and materials of the new construction will be compatible with and
<br /> complement the variation of styles within the neighborhood. The farmhouse
<br /> architectural style would include exterior horizontal and vertical board siding, exterior
<br /> wood finishes, vinyl frame hung windows, wood eave brackets, wood trellises,
<br /> decorative light fixtures, an enhanced frontage-facing porch area for Unit 1, and porticos
<br /> for the remaining units. Moreover, the structure is designed to fully screen all
<br /> mechanical equipment with the inclusion of walls or enhanced landscaping screens.
<br /> Overall, the Project will include a design and quality construction materials that will
<br /> ensure that the Project ages well for the duration of the building's lifetime.
<br /> FISCAL IMPACT
<br /> Approval of the requested appropriation adjustment will recognize $2,200,000 in the
<br /> Inclusionary Housing Fund, Prior Year Carry Forward revenue account (no. 41718002-
<br /> 50001) and appropriate the same amount in the Inclusionary Housing Fund, Loans and
