The City Council of the City of Redding does hereby ordain as follows: Section 1 . Title 18 , Zoning, of the Redding Municipal Code is hereby amended by adding a new Chapter 18 . 07 as follows: Chapter 18 . 07 DENSITY BONUS Sections: • 18 . 07 .010 Purpose 18 . 07 . 020 Definitions 18 .07 .030 Implementation 18 . 07 . 040 Application 18 . 07 .050 Additional Incentives 18 . 07 . 060 Requirements for Participation. 18 .07 . 010 Purpose. This chapter is intended to establish policies which facilitate the development of affordable housing to serve a variety of economic needs within the City. In order to encourage the provision for lower and very low-income housing, the City shall provide to developers/property owners--who agree to meet the requirements which are established by this chapter--a density bonus and additional incentives if it is found that it is necessary for affordability, or provide other incentives of equivalent financial value. The regulations set forth in this chapter shall apply City-wide. 18 .07 . 020 Definitions. As used in this chapter, unless the context otherwise requires: w • i A. "Affordable Housing" means housing costs as defined in Section 5005 . 2 of the Health and Safety Code, or rents at qualifying levels for lower-income or very low-income households . B. "Equivalent Financial Value" refers to the cost to the developer/property owner based on the land cost per dwelling unit. This is determined by the difference in the value of the land with and without the density bonus . C. "Affordability" is determined by the economic feasibility to construct lower-income housing in the proposed development. D. "Lower and Very Low-Income Households" are defined by income limits published by the State Department of Housing and Community Development. This applies to both for-rent and for-sale housing. E. "Density Bonus" as defined by State of California Government Code Section 65915 , et seq. , is an increased density of at least 25% over the maximum authorized density which is granted to a developer/property owner of a housing project agreeing to construct a prescribed percentage of lower- income units. 18 . 07 . 030 Implementation. A. In accordance with Government Code Section 65915 , et seq. , City Council shall grant either (1) a density bonus and an additional concession or incentive , unless determined unnecessary for affordability, or (2) provide an incentive of equivalent financial value. The increase in density must be at least 25% over the maximum density authorized by the City General Plan. B. In order to qualify for this bonus a housing project must consist of five or more dwelling units and meet one or more of the following criteria: 1 . At least 20% of the total units allowed by the maximum permitted density are designated for lower-income households as defined in Section 50079 . 5 of the Health and Safety Code; or 2 . At least 10% of the total units allowed by the maximum permitted density are designated for very low-income households as defined in Section 50105 of the Health and Safety Code; or -2- . I 3 . At least 50% of the total units allowed by the maximum permitted density are designated for senior citizens. C. To be eligible for a density bonus, the developer/property owner must sign a binding agreement with the City which sets forth the conditions and guidelines to be met in the imple- mentation of the Density Bonus law requirements . The agreement will also establish specific compliance standards and remedies available to the City upon failure by the developer/property owner to make units accessible to intended households. 18 .07 . 040 Application. A. In order to apply for a density bonus , the developer/property owner shall submit to the City a written proposal for a project pursuant to this chapter. If appropriate, the application shall be submitted in con- junction with a subdivision application or a use permit application. Otherwise, the application shall be submitted prior to application for a building permit. The proposal shall specify the number, type, location, size of housing units, and a construction schedule. B. The written proposal shall consist of adequate information to determine the project cost per unit of the proposed development. This will include, but not be limited to, capital costs, equity investment, debt service, projected revenues, operating expenses, or other information requested by the City. C. City shall, within 90 days of receipt of a written proposal, notify the developer/property owner in writing of whether it shall: 1 . Grant a density bonus; and 2 . Grant additional concessions or incentives; or find that additional incentives are not necessary for affordability; or 3 . Provide other incentives of equal financial value. 18 . 07 . 050 Additional Incentives. City shall grant additional concessions or incentives to the developer/property owner if it is found that the project with the proposed lower-income units would not be feasible without said incentives. Such concessions could include: -3- A. A modification of development standards pertaining to building height, open space, lot size requirements, street access, off-street parking, landscaping, fencing, or off- site improvements . B. Approval of mixed-use zoning within the housing development, such as allowing non-residential use along with residential. Such allowance shall only be permitted if it is consistent with the City General Plan. C. Additional density bonus up to 10% . D. Reduction of development fees , not including connection charges. 18 . 07 . 060 Requirements for Participation. In order for a developer/property owner to participate in the program and be eligible for the incentives , the following requirements must be met: A. The developer/property owner shall set aside each month, at the completion of the project, the number of units which are P designated for lower or very low-income households. A unit will be counted toward meeting the set-aside requirement irement if it is either vacant or occupied by a lower or very low- income tenant or a senior citizen. B. The target units must be compatible in floor plan, furnishings, and exterior design to nondesignated units . Further, the target units must be reasonably dispersed throughout the development. C. The time period of availability to the intended population shall be: with additional incentive , 30 years; without additional incentive, 10 years . D. The maximum allowable rents to comply with the law are determined by a formula designated by the State Department of Housing and Community Development based on the area medium income. E. Houses for sale must be affordable to lower or very low- income households as defined by income limits established by the State Department of Housing and Community Development. F. The developer/property owner must provide to the Department of Planning and Community Development a yearly accounting of the total units occupied, the total units vacant, the total units occupied by lower or very low-income households, and -4- 1 • . . o the total by which the units set aside fell short of the required number of units (default units) . 18 . 07 . 070 Exclusions. Section 18 . 19 . 095 of the Redding Municipal Code provides a 100% density bonus for senior citizen housing in the "RM" Zoning District. This chapter shall not be deemed to provide an additional density bonus above that provided in Section 18 . 19 . 095 . Section 4 .
