RECITALS A. The City has 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"). Density Bonus Law allows a density bonus, concessions, and other regulatory incentives when a developer proposes to provide rental housing affordable to Very Low Income or Low Income Households, as defined below. B. Developer is the owner of certain real property located at 960-980 Lincoln Avenue, San Rafael, County of Marin, California which is more particularly described in attached Exhibit A incorporated herein by this reference (the "Property"). The property was developed in 1999 and contains 6,993 square feet of retail space on the ground floor, six residential units and 6,973 square feet of office on Level Two, 24 residential units on Levels 4 and 5, and 37 commercial parking spaces and 19 residential parking spaces. The Development has an allowable "base density" of 28 units. The Development received a two residential unit density bonus at the time it was developed in exchange for providing five affordable units. A Below Market Rate Rental Agreement (the "1999 Agreement") was recorded on the property under the 960 Lincoln Avenue address. C. The Developer now desires to convert the 6,973 square feet of offices on Level Two into eight residential units. The new residential units will consist of six (6) one bedroom units and two (2) two bedroom units. In consideration of certain valuable land use and economic benefits conferred by the City upon the Ztiq Property under Density Bonus Law, Developer, for itself, its successors, heirs, grantees and assigns, hereby agrees to comply with the requirements of Density Bonus Law as applied to the Property. D. On June 7, 2017, Developer received the following discretionary approvals from the City to construct a total of eight (8) dwelling units ("Units") (hereinafter referred to as the "Development") on the Property: Use Permit Application 16-048 (the "Project Approvals") As part of the Development, Developer has sought and agreed to construct two (2) One Bedroom Unit(s) (25% of the total Units in the Development) to be affordable to Very Low and Low Income Households (the "Affordable Units") for the Density Bonus Term as defined below. E. Under Density Bonus Law, Developer has applied for, and the City has granted, the following regulatory incentives in exchange for the Developer's provision of the Affordable Units: (i) A 35% density bonus on the full site for a total of 38 residential units; an addition of 10 units above the allowed base density of 28 residential Units; two (2) Units pursuant to the 1999 Agreement and eight (8) additional Units pursuant to this Agreement (the "Density Bonus"). Any Density Bonus, Concessions, Waivers, or Parking Reduction incorporated into the Development are collectively "Incentives." F. Density Bonus Law requires the City to ensure, and the Developer to agree to, continued affordability of the Affordable Units for the Density Bonus Term. To ensure their continued affordability for the Density Bonus Term, this Agreement shall be executed and recorded against the Property prior to issuance of any building permits for the Development. The Agreement will be executed on 980 Lincoln Avenue to differentiate it from the 1999 Agreement executed on 960 Lincoln Avenue. G. Developer acknowledges and agrees that the Project Approvals provided adequate and proper notice pursuant to Government Code Section 66020 of Developer's right to protest any requirements for fees, dedications, reservations, and other exactions as may be included in this Agreement, that no protest in compliance with Section 66020 was made within ninety (90) days of the date that notice was given, and that the period has expired in which Developer may protest any and all fees, dedications, reservations, and other exactions as may be included in this Agreement.
