San Francisco Bay rlxea Draft Regional Housing Needs .allocation, 4~'' Revision 3. In Marin County, 75 percent of the allocation of housing need generated by the unincorporated SOI will be assigned to the city; the remaining 25 percent will be assigned to the county. Although these guidelines reflect the general approaches to SOIs in each county, adjustments may be needed to better reflect local conditions. Requests for SOI allocation adjustments may arise during the RHNA comment or revision period. Therefore, the methodology include the following criteria for handling such requests: 1. Adjustments to SOI allocations shall be consistent with any pre-existing written agreement between the city and county that allocates such units, or 2. In the absence of a written agreement, the requested adjustment would allocate the units to the jurisdiction that has permitting authority over future development in the SOI. 4. Transfer of Units After the initial allocation, each local jurisdiction may request that it be allowed to transfer units with willing partner(s), in a way that maintains total need allocation amongst all transfer parties, maintains income distribution of both retained and transferred units, and includes a package of incentives to facilitate production of housing units. This transfer rule would allow the transfer of allocated housing need between willing jurisdictions in conjunction with financial and non-financial resources, while maintaining the integrity of the state's RHNA objectives by preventing any jurisdiction from abdicating its responsibility to plan for housing across all income categories. Transfers done in this manner may facilitate increased housing production in the region. Request for transfer of RHNA allocations between jurisdictions must meet the following criteria: 1. Transfer requests must have at least two willing partners and the total number of units within the group requesting the transfer cannot be reduced. 2. Transfers must include units at all income levels in the same proportion as initially allocated. 3. All members of the transfer group must retain some allocation of very low and low income units. 4. The proposed transfer must include a specifically defined package of incentives and/or resources that will enable the jurisdiction(s) receiving an increased allocation to provide more housing choices than would otherwise occur absent the transfer and the accompanying incentives or resources. 5. If the transfer results in a greater concentration of very low or low income units in the receiving jurisdiction, the effect must be offset by findings by the members of the transfer group that address the RHNA objectives. For example, the findings might include (a) there is such an urgent need for more housing choices in those income categories that the opportunity to effect more housing choices in these categories offsets the impacts of over-concentration, or (b) the package of incentives and/or resources are for mixed income projects, or (c) the package of incentives and/or resources are for "transitional" housing for very low or low income households being relocated for rehabilitation of existing very low or low income units, or (d) the package of incentives and/or resources august 2007, Page 13
