A RESOLUTION OF THE SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL
REPLACING THE EXISTING HOUSING ELEMENT ACTION
PROGRAM C11 WITH A NEW ACTION PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the Housing
Element Annual Report; and
WHEREAS, the report indicated that only a small number
of inclusionary units had been required since adoption of the
Housing Element; and
WHEREAS, the Housing Element contains a policy encourag-
ing developers to provide affordable and accessible units in all
residential projects; and
WHEREAS, the corresponding implementing program C11
states only that an inclusionary study would be prepared within a
year and that the existing voluntary inclusionary program would
continue to be implemented; and
WHEREAS, the success of inclusionary programs could not
be analyzed because of stagnant housing market conditions; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is concerned that all developers
be approached equally regarding the provision of below market
rate units in larger housing projects; and
WHEREAS, the City Council concludes that it is the intent
of the City to negotiate and provide incentive for the inclusion
of below market rate units affordable to persons of low and/or
moderate income in all projects over ten units.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council
deletes the existing Housing Element Action Program C11 and
replaces it with a more positive below market rate program as
follows:
"Below Market Rate Housing:
The City shall negotiate and provide incentives for
BMR units affordable to persons of low and/or moderate
income in all residential projects of 10 or more units.
Such incentives may include density bonuses, modifi-
cations to certain development standards and fees, and
other measures found appropriate by the City."
