DRAFT Redlines Housing Element Section 4B • Time Period: Ongoing; seek funding biannually (first quarter 2024, 2026, 2028, and 2030) • Funding Source: Lower Income Housing Fund, HOME funds Program 2.5 Continue to offer waivers or reductions of City fees for affordable housing units, including the following: 1. Exempt all housing units affordable to very low- and low-income households and Accessory Dwelling Units from payment of the Lower-Income Housing Fee. 2. Allow for the approval of fee waivers and/or reductions for inclusionary units and the housing developments of which they are a part, for projects that meet the requirements of the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance in terms of the proportion of proposed affordable units to be provided. When considering such discretionary fee waivers or reductions, greater consideration will be given to their approval when a housing development's proposed proportion of lower-income units exceeds the minimum required by the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance (i.e., not all market rate units in projects that comply with minimum inclusionary requirements will necessarily receive fee waivers or reductions). • Responsible Agency: Planning Division • Time Period: Ongoing as projects applications are processed • Funding Source: Lower Income Housing Fund, developer funds Program 2.6 Continue to make housing education programs and information available on the City's website, at other public venues, through City publications and mailings, City social media accounts, and through partnerships with regional organizations.
