City Development Fee Waivers The City may waive, on a case by case basis, City development fees for projects (or portions of projects) which include the construction of lower income units, either rental or ownership. The City has used this incentive to promote the construction of numerous major affordable housing developments since the 1980's. Recent City fee waivers are summarized in the following table: Project Name Year Rent/ Total Aff. Pere. Affordability Total Waiver/ Subsidy Built Sale Units Units Aff. Level Subsidy Per Aff.

The City recently approved a waiver of $500,000 in park dedication fees to facilitate development of the Windstar / BART apartment project. The City will consider future requests for fee waivers on a project - specific basis. City Lower Income Housing Fee The City has established a fee which may be paid by developers in lieu of constructing new affordable housing. En 1998, the City completed an updated nexus study which resulted in a 30% increase to the residential component of the Lower Income Housing Fee (LIHF). After the recent adoption of the new Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance, the City determined to undertake a new study of the LIHF to consider a further increase. A new fee structure was approved by the City Council in May 2003. The current fee amounts are: $10,155 per unit for single family residential development; $2,517 per unit for multi- family residential development and single - family units 1,500 sq. ft. and under; and $2.68 per square foot for Action Plan - FY 2011 City of Pleasanton Page 10
