Some adopted redevelopment plans allow the redevelopment agency to adopt guidelines to ensure that the agency is meeting its affordable housing requirements. A question is whether such provisions could provide independent authority to reject a project that does not provide adequate affordable housing on site. Alternatively, a question is whether a nexus study would allow the city to charge a high enough fee to provide the required affordable housing elsewhere in the redevelopment area. Conclusion The implications of Palmer for the creation of affordable housing in the State of California may be profound. If the case is not depublished or accepted for review. it would he prudent for communities with inelusionary ordinances to amend them to avoid a facial conflict with State rent control provisions. While some of the changes suggested here may mitigate the effect of adverse court rulings, Palmer will likely require changes in affordable housing policies and practices in the State if it is not modified by the Calilbrnia Supreme Court. 900051 I'72017'.3 N1211110
