The plan conforms to the General Plan goals and policies~ and in particular, the imposition of Condition No. 21 of the conditions of approval, concerning the payment of an affordable housing fee, is justified and warranted in order to make the project conform to the General Plan goals and policies, based on the following: The site has been designated High Density Residential on the General Plan since 1981. During the review and update of the General Plan in 1986, the General Plan Review Committee recommended that this site be designated for "very high density residential uses." There is no maximum density ceiling under General Plan policies for this category of residential land use. Furthermore, the City's Affordable Housing Task Force recommended that this site be designated as an appropriate location for affordable housing. The approval of this project will result in a loss of a valuable site for an affordable housing project and the project applicant does not intend to provide any affordable housing units on site. To make the project consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan concerning each project providing its share of affordable housing as set forth in the City's General Plan, the imposition of a $100,000 affordable housing fee, to be paid in lieu of providing affordable housing units on site, is warranted and justified.
