Council adopts this revised City preference system described herein to be <br />used for determining eligibility among prospective beneficiaries for existing and future <br />affordable housing projects assisted by the City.1 <br />Section 2. Affordable units will be made available to qualified households based upon <br />the preference categories listed below. The City may modify the preference categories <br />from time to time by giving written notice to Lessor/Owner of such modifications, and <br />Lessor/Owner shall adhere to such preference categories starting no later than ten (10) <br />days following receipt of such notice. Each preference category is assigned a specific <br />number of points as noted below. At the time of application, each applicant household <br />will be assigned to one preference category and a corresponding point allocation in <br />accordance to the criteria listed below. Households with the highest number of points <br />will be given first priority for the affordable units. In the event there is more than one <br />household with the same amount of points, which is likely, a lottery will be held at which <br />time names of households with an equal number of preference points will be randomly <br />drawn and assigned priority. <br />Section 3. The criteria for preference categories and corresponding point allocations <br />are as follows: <br />20 POINTS <br />Households where at least one of the signators of the tenant lease or purchase <br />agreement (and who is a member of the household) is a Pleasanton resident and <br />a Pleasanton employee at the time of application and has continuously lived and <br />worked in the City of Pleasanton for two years or more prior to the time of <br />application. <br />18 POINTS <br />Households where at least one of the signators of the tenant lease or purchase <br />agreement (and who is a member of the household) is a Pleasanton resident and <br />a Pleasanton employee at the time of application and has continuously lived and <br />worked in the City of Pleasanton less than two years prior to the time of <br />application. <br /> <br />1 A project assisted by the City may include, but is not limited to, a project which: (a) has inclusionary <br />units subject to the requirements of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC) Chapter 17.44; (b) receives <br />grants or loans of affordable housing fees pursuant to PMC Chapter 17.40; (c) receive waivers or <br />reductions of development impact fees; or (d) is subject to an affordable housing agreement or <br />development agreement which provides for affordable units.
