1 0A -17
• Nancy Alcala, requested postponement of matter and inclusion of
residents in the process.
Council discussion ensued.
Mayor Pro Tern Sarmiento, summarized intent of the ordinance; project
does not dilute the number of affordable units but provide clarity and
predictability to allow for mixed income developments; mixed income
developments have resulted in better projects; affordability ordinance was
first approved 5 years ago — strong policy statement for dignified and
affordable housing.
Proposed amendment to ordinance to increase in lieu fee from $5 to $15
a foot to create larger pool of funds to leverage developments that
markets do not address; homeownership for moderate income currently
defined at 110% area market rate (AMI) which is about $93,000 for a
family of four need to redefine to 80% AMI which is $56- $70,000 and allow
them to apply for financing; also, developers should have an opportunity to
opine as to where those funds are used.
Asked about exemptions of pipeline projects or projects that have been
approved, is that modifying the term sheet?
Executive Director of Planning and Building Agency, Haghani, noted that
draft ordinance does not automatically exempt pipeline projects, but gives
them opportunity to request for new in lieu fee and projects approved prior
to draft ordinance does not have agreement to be exempt.
Mayor Pro Tern Sarmiento, support exemptions; noted that historic and
commercial structures complex to change use, need to preserve and
rehabilitate to create new housing - encourage development of adaptive
reuse; motion to approve as amended.
Councilmember Amezcua, asked who would manage the in -lieu fees and
how to manage displacement?
Mayor Pro Tern Sarmiento, noted that fees would be required for
affordable development; pool funds and procured for applicants for
development of low income projects
Executive Director of Planning and Building Agency, Haghani, confirmed
that displacement would be managed by developers in accordance with
State regulations.
Councilmember Reyna, requested clarification of pipeline projects.
Executive Director of Planning and Building Agency, Haghani, commented
that with proposed amendment, pipeline projects that have signed
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 16 AUGUST 4, 2015
1 0A -18
agreement with the City can pay new fees or remain the same, but if no
contract then new fees will apply.
Councilmember Benavides, asked about pipeline projects with pending
contracts.
Executive Director of Planning and Building Agency, Haghani, noted that
status of pending projects would be provided to the City Council for
consideration.
Councilmember Benavides, proposed friendly amendment to allow all
pending projects the option of current or proposed regulations.
Executive Director of Planning and Building Agency Haghani, summarized
proposed amendments include: 1. Change definition of moderate income
formula from 110% to 80% AMI; 2. Change in lieu fee to $15 per square
foot; 3. Developer should have opportunity to opine as to where in -lieu
fees should be spent; 4. Development projects in the pipeline be given
choice of existing formula for in -lieu fees or proposed rate of $15 per
square feet with the understanding that projects over 21 units must
produce the housing on -site.
Councilmember Benavides, clarified that developers would be given a
voice although City has final decision since they are public funds.
