3. Option 3. Applicant request: Reduction of 98.8 percent for the entire project, aligning with actual employee impacts. Total fee would be $26,318. (Applicant's Request) 4. Option 4. Hybrid approach: Reduction of 0 percent for the office (consistent with past practice) and reduction of 98.8 percent for new storage area (consistent with actual employee generation). In this option, staff does not recommend charging the affordable housing fee for the square footage of the new unit. Total fee would be $37,892. 5. Option 5. Typical methodology approach. Reduction of 0 percent for the office and reduction of 97.3 percent for the new storage area, consistent with the widely used SANDAG employee generation rate for storage facilities, and the office component. In this option, staff does not recommend charging the affordable housing fee to the new unit. Total fee would be $68,973. (Staff Recommendation).
