Ordinance No 2287 Page 12 of 21 E. Inclusionary units . Inclusionary units may have fewer interior amenities than the market rate units in the project, except that inclusionary units shall have air-conditioning, enclosed garages, and laundry facilities to the extent the market-rate units have those amenities. Interior finishes and amenities must be equivalent to those provided in the base model market-rate units. F. The residents of the inclusionary units shall have the same access to shared common areas, open space, parking, storage and other amenities as the market-rate residents when located in the same building or on the same site. G. Bedroom Mix: The project shall comply with the following standards with respect to the bedroom mix of the affordable/inclusionary units: i. For for-sale projects,the average number of bedrooms per unit for all affordable units in the project shall equal the average number of bedrooms for all other units in the project, up to a limit of three bedrooms per unit; ii. For rental projects, a minimum of 10 percent of the total affordable units shall be three-bedroom units; a minimum of 40 percent of the total affordable units shall be two-bedroom units; and the remaining affordable units shall be studio or one- bedroom units except that no more than 10% of units may be studios. Age- restricted projects shall not be required to provide three-bedroom units, and may instead provide additional studio, one- or two-bedroom units in lieu of the required three-bedroom units. This provision shall not apply to affordable units that are financed with low-income tax credits. The director of community development may approve deviations from the specified bedroom mix for projects with 10 or fewer inclusionary units, except that at least 50 percent of units shall have at least two bedrooms if the market rate project also provides units of that size. H. Inclusionary units shall remain affordable in perpetuity from the date of occupancy, which shall be the date the city of Pleasanton approves final inspection for the building permit, through recordation of an affordable housing agreement as described in Section 17.44.060 of this chapter. All inclusionary units in a project shall be constructed concurrently with, or prior to, the construction of the project's market rate units, unless an alternative schedule for construction is approved by the city council in accordance with Section 17.44.080 below. "Concurrently" means that all inclusionary units shall be built prior to the build-out of market rate units in the same residential development project. In phased developments, inclusionary units shall be constructed and occupied in proportion to the number of market rate units constructed and occupied in each phase as follows: 1. A building permit may not be issued for any market rate unit unless a proportional number of building permits has been issued for inclusionary units; and 2. A certificate of occupancy or final inspection may not be issued for market rate units unless a proportional number of certificates of occupancy or final inspections have been issued for inclusionary units.
