"3&£> 2007-104 APPROVING an Affordable Housing Agreement RECOMMENDED ACTION: ADOPT Council Resolution No. _ with Cyril and JoAnne Kellett, to allow a housing alternative to satisfy the Inclusionary Housing requirement for the Seacrest Ridge Minor Subdivision. ITEM EXPLANATION: The Inclusionary Housing Ordinance allows the Council to approve a housing alternative when that alternative supports specific housing policies and goals. Alternatives include, but are not limited to, acquisition and rehabilitation of affordable units, conversion of existing market units to affordable units, construction of special needs housing projects or programs (shelters, transitional housing, etc.), and the construction of second dwelling units. The Seacrest Ridge project (MS 01-07) is located on Ridgecrest Drive and Seacrest Drive, north of Hillcrest Circle. Cyril and JoAnne Kellett obtained a Minor Subdivision Map for the project and paid a $18,060 Housing In-Lieu Fee to proceed with their project. The Kelletts requested that they be allowed to obtain a refund of the $18,060 fee they paid by entering into an Affordable Housing Agreement with the City to build a second dwelling unit on one of the four lots in the subdivision, and meeting all requirements of the agreement. City staff indicated that they could support refund of the fee once the second dwelling was constructed, and that the Council would need to approve the alternative. The attached Affordable Housing Agreement requires that, prior to obtaining a refund of the subject fee, the Kelletts must provide proof to the Housing and Redevelopment Director that a deed restriction has been placed on the property regarding rental of the unit to lower income persons. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council approve the proposed affordable housing agreement to allow a second dwelling unit as an alternative to satisfy the inclusionary housing requirement for the Seacrest Ridge Minor Subdivision. If approved by the Council, the property owners will receive a refund of previously paid Housing In-Lieu Fee in exchange for the production of an affordable housing unit within the subject development in the form of a second dwelling unit. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Planning Director has determined that the project is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to Sections 15315 and 15332. No further environmental review is required as part of the approval of the alternative to satisfy the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. FOR CITY CLERKS USE ONLY.
