<br />ATTACHMENT B <br /> <br />B. Design Modifications <br /> <br />The granting of design modifications relative to the inclusionary requirement shall <br />require the approval of the City Council and shall meet all applicable zoning <br />requirements of the City of Pleasanton. Modifications to typical design standards may <br />include the following: <br /> <br />. Reduced setbacks <br />. Reduction in infrastructure requirements <br />· Reduced open space requirements <br />. Reduced landscaping requirements <br />· Reduced interior or exterior amenities <br />. Reduction in parking requirements <br />. Height restriction waivers <br /> <br />C. Second Mortgages <br /> <br />The City may utilize available Lower Income Housing Funds for the purpose of <br />providing second mortgages to prospective unit owners or to subsidize the cost of a unit <br />to establish an Affordable Rent or an Affordable Sales Price. Terms of the second <br />mortgage or subsidy shall be stated in the Affordable Housing Agreement. The <br />utilization of these incentives shall not be the sole source of providing the Inclusionary <br />Units and the are intended to augment the developer's proposal. <br /> <br />D. Priority Processing <br /> <br />After receiving its discretionary approvals, a Project that provides Inclusionary Units may <br />be entitled to priority processing of building and engineering approvals subject to the <br />approval of the City Manager. A Project eligible for priority processing shall be assigned <br />to City engineering and/or building staff and processed in advance of all non-priority <br />items. <br /> <br />Section 17.44.080. Alternatives to Constructing Inclusionary Units On-Site <br /> <br />The primary emphasis of the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance is to achieve the inclusion <br />of affordable housing units to be constructed in conjunction with market rate units within <br />the same project in all new residential projects. However, the City acknowledges that it <br />may not always be practical to require that every project satisfY its affordable housing <br />requirement through the construction of affordable units within the project itself. <br />Therefore, the requirements of this Chapter may be satisfied by various methods other <br />than the construction of Inclusionary Units on the project site. Some examples of <br />alternate methods of compliance appear below. As housing market conditions change, <br /> <br />Page 9 of 13 <br />
