SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

Prepared by: Raffi Boloyan, Planning Manager City Manager Approval:
TOPIC: AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT FOR 1700 FOURTH STREET
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL
APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A
BELOW MARKET RATE (BMR) RENTAL HOUSING AGREEMENT FOR 1700
FOURTH STREET (APN 011-192-07)
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Below Market
Rate (BMR) Rental Housing Agreement for the rental development at 1700 Fourth St.
BACKGROUND: The City adopted a density bonus ordinance (Section 14.16.030.H of the San Rafael
Municipal Code) (the "Density Bonus Ordinance") to conform with state density bonus law
(Government Code Sections 65915 — 65918) (together "Density Bonus Law"). The Density Bonus Law
allows a density bonus, concessions, and other regulatory incentives when a developer provides rental
housing affordable to Very Low Income or Low Income Households in a market rate housing
development.
17004 th Fourth St is located at the corner of Fourth and G Streets and will contain ten rental apartment
units, one unit of which is restricted to a very low-income household and 750 sq. ft. ground floor retail
space. The building will contain nine one bedroom apartments, one two bedroom unit and a total of 14
parking spaces including two tandem spaces. The development was approved by the Planning
Commission on December 9, 2014 through the adoption of Planning Commission Resolution No. 14-10.
One of the conditions of approval for this project was that a BMR agreement be recorded prior to
occupancy of the units.
ANALYSIS: The City's Zoning Ordinance allows up to seven residential units on this site, (the "base
units"). By providing one (1) of the seven (7) units as affordable to very low-income households, the
development received a density bonus of three units and two development concessions, pursuant to the
State Density Bonus Law. The two concessions were a six foot height bonus and the use of tandem
parking for two of the residential parking spaces. The project was eligible for the density bonus and
development concessions in exchange for providing one unit affordable to a very low income household.

SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2
This one very low income unit represented over 10% of the base units on the property. The attached
Below Market Rate (BMR) Rental Housing Agreement will be recorded on the development and assure
the unit will remain affordable for 55 years.
A one (1) bedroom unit will be affordable to very low households earning no more than 50% of the
county median income. The maximum allowable monthly rent cannot exceed 30% of the household
income. The initial rent is anticipated to be capped at $1,036 (2016 figures). The rent can be increased
once a year pursuant to the increase in the County median income figures prepared by the U.S. Housing
and Urban Development Department and the California Department of Housing and Community
Development.
As part of the Agreement, the owner agrees not to discriminate in the selection of residents including
discrimination based on income source such as child support, Section 8 rental vouchers and other public
and private rental assistance. The Agreement allows the owner to receive "fair market rent" from the
Section 8 voucher program or other rental assistance programs as long as the occupants are very low
income and the tenant portion of the rent does not exceed 30% of household income.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no cost to the City for the BMR units with the exception of the staff time
for program administration. The Agreement requires the developer to pay an annual monitoring fee of
$100.00 per affordable unit.
The City contracts with the Marin Housing Authority to administer the City's affordable program for
rental developments pursuant to a contract dated May 2, 2016. The net annual cost of the Marin
Housing rental administration contract is about $15,000 per year and is funded by the affordable housing
funds collected by the Community Development Department from commercial development fees and
other housing in -lieu fees.
OPTIONS: The City Council has the following options to consider on this matter:
• Approve the attached Resolution to approve the BMR Agreement between the property owner(s)
and the City of San Rafael and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement; or
• Direct staff to alter the attached Resolution, or
• Do not adopt the attached Resolution.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt the Resolution.
