Subject: Proposed revisions to the city’s inclusionary housing policies and in-lieu fee
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution (Exhibit 1) recommending that the City Council approve the consolidation of Council
Policy Statements Nos. 57, 58 and 68 into a single revised Council Policy Statement and recommend
adjustments to the Inclusionary Housing Program in-lieu fee amount.
Executive Summary
The City Council directed staff to return with recommendations on an updated inclusionary housing in-lieu fee
for areas inside and outside the Village and Barrio Master Plan (VBMP) area. In April 2021, Keyser Marston
Associates (KMA) finalized an analysis, which provides varying options for how the city’s current in-lieu fee can
be adjusted. Also included in this staff report are recommendations on how the City Council’s current
inclusionary housing policies can be combined and revised to simplify and improve the regulatory framework
in order to successfully continue providing affordable housing in the city.
Updating the city’s inclusionary housing program is on the Housing Commission’s FY2021-22 Work Program
and is therefore being presented before the Housing Commission for discussion and recommendation prior to
City Council consideration. Specifically, the Housing Commission is being asked to make recommendations on
the proposed in-lieu fee and the changes proposed to City Council policies on inclusionary housing.
Discussion
Background
On Aug. 20, 2019 and Dec. 17, 2019 (Exhibits 2 and 3), the City Council approved minute motions directing
staff to return for consideration the initiation of an analysis of the city’s inclusionary housing program. On May
5, 2020, following a staff presentation on the topic, the City Council provided direction and funding for a study
that would provide recommendations on an updated inclusionary housing in-lieu fee, calculation
methodologies and related inclusionary housing policy options for areas inside and outside the VBMP area.
The sections below provide an overview of the current inclusionary housing program and possible options and
changes being proposed to streamline and improve upon the program.
Current Inclusionary Housing Program
Carlsbad, like many coastal cities in California, struggles with both a housing shortage and housing
affordability. To help address this shortfall, the city’s inclusionary housing laws, originally adopted in 1993,
established the legal basis for requiring inclusionary housing in new residential development in the city. The
law applies to all development projects that include residential units and requires that a minimum of 15% of

Staff Report
the units be affordable to lower-income households. Under this program, roughly 2,500 affordable units have
been built in the past 25 years. In the past two years alone, a total of 812 housing units were approved, of
which 116 were made affordable for lower income families.
While the construction of affordable units is preferred, the city ordinance allows development of six or fewer
dwelling units to satisfy their inclusionary requirement through the payment of a fee in-lieu of building the
unit. When initially adopted in 1993, the in-lieu fee was formulated using the affordability gap method,
meaning that the in-lieu fee was based on the typical difference in cost to produce a market rate unit versus
that of a lower-income affordable unit. The fee was initially set at $11,485 per market rate unit. The fee was
recalculated in 1996 based on 15% of the city’s per unit subsidy for the Villa Loma Apartment project, which
was $30,100, resulting in a reduction of the fee to $4,515 per market rate unit. The fee amount has remained
unchanged since 1996. Through the in-lieu fee, about $1.7 million has been deposited into the city’s Housing
Trust Fund (HTF) over the past twenty years. The in-lieu fee is only one source of HTF funding; housing credit
purchase, impact fees, loan interest, and federal and state grants all contribute revenue towards the HTF,
which has totaled roughly $39.5 million in deposits over the past 20 years. Additional information on the
source and use of HTF monies is provided in Exhibit 4.
In addition to the in-lieu fee, the city’s inclusionary housing program includes Council Policy Statement No. 57,
No. 58 and No. 68 (Exhibits 4-6), which details the implementation procedures to allow projects, under
specified conditions, to propose alternative means of compliance from the strict adherence of the city’s
inclusionary regulations. The procedures specified in the policies for implementing alternative means of
compliance have been found to meet the intent of the inclusionary housing ordinance regulations as well as
the city’s adopted Housing Element.
Recommendations on In-Lieu Fees
In April 2021, KMA finalized their report entitled Inclusionary Housing In-Lieu Fee Update (Exhibit 7). The
report reviewed the city’s existing inclusionary regulations and historical results in terms of unit production
and in-lieu fee revenue, and then combined data pertaining to inclusionary housing in-lieu fees and/or
affordable housing impact fees currently being charged by other cities in San Diego County. KMA then
reviewed market trends data, land values, development cost estimates, and other industry standards for both
rental and for-sale residential development and then prepared pro forma financial models to estimate the
residual land value generated by each residential prototype under two scenarios:
1)100% market-rate; and,
2)Assuming the city’s existing inclusionary requirement of 15% at low income.
Based on the KMA report, Table I below provides different ways the city could charge an inclusionary in-lieu
fee on future residential projects.

The tables below provide scenarios showing different ways the city could charge an inclusionary in-lieu fee on
future small residential projects and how those rates could financially impact new development. Table 2 shows

what the potential fee generate for a single-family home on a single residential lot; Table 3 provides an
example of what the fee could generate for a four-unit complex; and, Table 4 reflects the potential fee amount
for a six-unit complex. The scenarios are for discussion purposes only. While the unit size is typical, the
development scenarios identified assume that all unit sizes are static; actual unit sizes found in new
development projects typically vary (provide options), resulting in varying in-lieu rates.

Staff recommends that for property owners who are looking to build a single-family residence on a single lot,
the in-lieu fee be adjusted from $4,515 to $8,529, which is the result of the annual CPI adjustment being
applied to the current 1996 rate, to arrive at a current CPI adjusted rate (April 2021). For all other qualifying
projects, however, we recommend charging a rate of $15 per net building area1 for each proposed market-rate
unit.
Recommendations on Revisions to Implementing Policies
As reflected above, there are currently three Council Policy Statements (No. 57, No. 58, and No. 68) that
provide applicants with the implementation procedures for alternative ways of complying with the city’s
Inclusionary Housing Program. The policies have been in place for several years (going back to 1995) and a lot
has changed in how inclusionary housing requirements can be achieved in today’s housing market. As such,
1 “Net building area” means the aggregate gross floor area of all the unrestricted dwelling units within a development, excluding areas outside the
dwelling unit’s habitable space such as garages, carports, parking areas, porches, patios, open space, and excluding common areas such as lobbies,
common hallways, stairways, elevators and equipment spaces.
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 3 of 163
staff is proposing to consolidate the policies into one policy statement and expand upon the implementing
procedures for alternative means of compliance (consistent with the city’s current inclusionary housing
ordinance) in order to accommodate the unique challenges facing developers in providing affordable housing
in Carlsbad. The sections below follow the sections in the revised policy (Attachment A to Exhibit 1) and
provide an overview of the changes being proposed. Staff also developed an Informational Bulletin that helps
the public better understand the city’s inclusionary housing requirements in simple to understand terms
(Exhibit 8).
• In-Lieu Fee
The current inclusionary housing ordinance allows developments proposing a total of six or fewer units
to satisfy their affordable housing obligation through payment of the inclusionary housing in-lieu fee.
Under the revised policy, the in-lieu fee may be waived if a detached or attached accessory dwelling
unit is constructed concurrent with construction of the new home, deed restricted for low-income
households for 30-years, and occupied by income-qualified families. This allowance only applies to
property owners who are constructing one single-family residence on a single lot.
• Inclusionary Affordability Requirement and Credit Adjustment
Under the inclusionary ordinance, developments proposing a total of seven or more units must
provide at least 15% of the development’s units as affordable to lower income households. Current
policy No. 68 allows applicants to reduce this 15% requirement to 12.5% if certain conditions are met
(e.g., units are affordable to very low and extremely low-income households). Refer to the Info-
Bulletin for an example showing how the allowance can be applied to a theoretical development
project (Exhibit 8). One of the conditions under the current policy is that the development be limited
to for-sale product. To encourage more housing development that offers lower affordability levels,
staff is proposing to eliminate this requirement and allow rental products to participate.
Also, the inclusionary ordinance uses the term “lower-income housing” when referring to the 15%
inclusionary housing requirement. The proposed policy clarifies that the default affordability level of
the required inclusionary housing unit is “low-income,” which means affordable to households earning
less than 80% of the area median income (AMI) for San Diego County as determined annually by the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The affordability is set at the 70% income level
for rental households and 80% for ownership units. This helps tie the policy to the definitions provided
in the current ordinance.
Lastly, a new provision to the policy is proposed that allows developers to apply any combination of
income categories towards their 15% inclusionary requirement (e.g., moderate, low, very low, and/or
extremely low-income), as long as the total average gross income restriction does not exceed 80%
AMI. This offers additional flexibility for the developer when financing their development and provides
the city with affordable units of varying affordability levels, which will help achieve its Housing Element
housing targets.
• Use of Accessory Dwelling Units
The current inclusionary housing ordinance allows an applicant to construct up to 15 accessory
dwelling units (ADU) to satisfy their inclusionary requirements. However, the ordinance or the current
policies do not provide implementation procedures for the use of accessory dwelling units to satisfy
inclusionary requirements. The revised policy proposes specific implementation procedures for use of
the ADU alternative, as reflected below.
o The project proposes 200 or more residential detached units; and,
o The ADUs are an attached or detached housing product type; and,
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 4 of 163
o The ADU shall have an affordability term (low-income) of at least 30 years; and,
o The property owner shall be required to income qualify the tenant and restrict rents to not
exceed 70% of the area median income for San Diego County.
•Combined Inclusionary Housing (Off-Site Compliance)
The city’s inclusionary ordinance encourages that affordable inclusionary units be constructed on-site
but recognizes that circumstances may arise in which the public interest would better be served by
constructing the units at an alternative site. Current policy No. 57 sets forth the criteria (in the form of
questions) for when the City Council can authorize this off-site compliance alternative.
Since land use decisions are based on findings, the revised policy converts the questions into findings
that must be made by the decision-making authority in order to approve the request. This is in keeping
with current practices. The processing steps and worksheet that are included in the current policy have
been removed as it is more appropriate to have those processing steps part of a department
processing guide. Lastly, the revised policy clarifies a long-standing practice of calculating inclusionary
housing requirement for off-site compliance; specifically, the inclusionary calculation requirements
shall be based on the total number of market-rate units to be provided, as opposed to the total
number of residential units in the project. Refer to the Info-Bulletin for an example explaining how the
allowance can be applied to a theoretical development project (Exhibit 8).
•Inclusionary Housing Credit Purchase Program
The inclusionary ordinance provides that inclusionary units created which exceed the final
requirement for a project may, subject to City Council approval, be utilized by a developer to satisfy
inclusionary requirements of other projects. This is referred to as a combined inclusionary housing
project, and in instances where the city is financially participating in the combined inclusionary housing
project, the City Council can approve and designate a combined inclusionary housing project as an
Affordable Housing Credit Bank project, in which the city may sell affordable housing credits to other
developers who make a request to purchase affordable housing credits as an alternative way of
satisfying the inclusionary housing requirement for their project.
In this manner, the city can recoup its financial investment in the project and then use these funds to
assist additional affordable housing projects. It is important to also note that when the city financially
participates in a combined inclusionary housing project the financial assistance comes in the form of a
low-interest loan to the project, with the developer paying off the loan amount to the city over the life
of the project. Between the sale of the credits and the repayment of the loan, the city ultimately
receives funds that are twice the amount of the initial financial assistance with all of these received
funds deposited into the Housing Trust Fund and then used to assist additional affordable housing
projects.
The first project to be established as an Affordable Housing Credit Bank project was the 344-unit
affordable housing project known as the Villa Loma Apartments in 1995. Pursuant to the Council Policy
No. 58, the per unit credit purchase price was originally set at $28,000. This fee was established by
dividing the subsidy amount ($4.1M city funds + $0.9M developer contribution) by the 184 excess
affordable housing units created in the project. Those credits were then purchased by other
developers to satisfy inclusionary requirements of other residential developments in the southwest
and southeast quadrants. Since then, the City Council has approved Affordable Housing Credit Bank
projects for three other city-assisted affordable housing projects: Cassia Heights Apartments,
Roosevelt Gardens, and Tavarua Senior Apartments. All of these three projects were 100% affordable
housing projects in which the city financially participated. Collectively, affordable housing credit
purchases from these four bank projects have resulted in about $8.6M in deposits to the HTF during
the 20-year period.
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 5 of 163
The revised policy includes language that memorializes how an Affordable Housing Credit Bank project
is established, clarifies the eligibility requirements for developers wishing to purchase credits, and
clearly states the formula used to establish the credit purchase price, as reflected below.
o The revised policy provides findings that the City Council must make for an Affordable Housing
Credit Bank project to be established. Once the bank is approved by the City Council, the sale of
the credits to other developers for their projects can be approved administratively so long as the
project complies with the city’s inclusionary ordinance and the policy. It should be noted that the
affordable units intended for purchase must be more than the minimum number of units
required under the city’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance with one exception --- all of the units in
a 100% affordable housing project, which the city financially participates, may be eligible for
purchase.
o Staff is not recommending any changes to current policy on how credit purchase price is
established. Under current policy, the purchase price for each unit (credit) shall be
determined by dividing the “local financial contribution” to a credit bank project by the total
number of affordable units in the project that are in excess of inclusionary requirements, or
in the case of an 100% affordable housing project, the total number of units in the project.
The local (city’s) financial contribution shall consist of all city financial assistance provided to
the project (e.g., loans, expenditures, hard/soft costs, land costs and accrued interest). The
credit price shall be adjusted annually by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and set by the City
Council as part of their annual approval of the Master Fee Schedule.
o The revised policy limits the types of projects that are eligible to make a request to purchase
affordable housing credits as an alternative way of satisfying the inclusionary housing requirement
for their project; specifically, projects proposing more than seven, but no more than 50
residential units are eligible to make a request to purchase affordable housing credits to
satisfy their inclusionary housing requirements.
o The revised policy also establishes the amount of credits that need to be purchased based on
project size, as reflected below.
▪7 to 20 units – 1.0 credit for each required inclusionary unit
▪21 to 35 units – 1.5 credits for each required inclusionary unit
▪36 to 50 units – 2.0 credits for each required inclusionary unit
o The revised policy establishes findings that the decision-making authority for the
development project must make to approve the purchase and sale of a credit from an
established affordable housing bank.
o The revised policy clarifies when payment will occur and includes a provision that applicants
must purchase the affordable credits from the oldest established affordable housing credit bank
project that is located within the same or adjacent city quadrant in which the market-rate units
are located. This prevents applicants from “credit shopping.”
o The policy also clarifies the proximity of the affordable housing credit bank from the proposed
development project. CMC §21.85.080 states that the combined project must be in the same city
quadrant, or contiguous quadrant in which the proposed market-rate units are proposed. The
policy clarifies that “contiguous” includes quadrants that share a common border. For example,
the northeast and southwest quadrants are considered contiguous to the northwest quadrant
because they share a common border (El Camino Real and Palomar Airport Road, respectively). As
such, a development project in the southwest quadrant is eligible to purchase credits from an
affordable housing credit bank that is in the northwest quadrant.
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 6 of 163
•Other Alternative Means of compliance not Specified
Consistent with the inclusionary housing ordinance, the revised policy includes language informing
applicants that the City Council may approve alternatives that are not authorized by this policy where
the proposed alternative supports specific housing element policies and goals and assists the city in
meeting its state housing requirements. Alternatives may include, but are not limited to, acquisition
and rehabilitation of affordable units, conversion of existing market-rate units to affordable units,
construction of special needs housing projects or programs (e.g., shelters, transitional housing), the
construction of accessory dwelling units beyond what is allowed under the policy , an affordable
housing credit bank that does not utilize city funding, or the purchase of housing credits for projects
greater than 50 residential units.
•Approval Authority
The revised policy simplifies the approval process where the decision-making authority responsible for
the approving underlying permit application(s) for a project shall have the authority to consider and
approve alternative methods to satisfy the project’s inclusionary housing requirement if they are
found consistent with the policy.
All projects will be conditioned to require that an Affordable Housing Agreement be reviewed,
approved, and recorded prior to Final Map or issuance of building permits, whichever comes first.
Affordable Housing Agreements that are consistent with the policy and that do not request financial
assistance from the city shall be considered for approval by the Housing & Homeless Services Director,
after review and recommendation of the Affordable Housing Policy Team. Agreements that deviate
from the policy or request city financial assistance shall be considered by the City Council, after review
and recommendation of the Affordable Housing Policy Team and the Housing Commission.
Fiscal Analysis
No city funding is being requested
Environmental Evaluation (CEQA)
The proposed action that is being considered is covered by the general rule under State CEQA Guidelines
15061(b)(3), where the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects
which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The proposed action seeks to
combine three longstanding Council Policy Statements (No. 57, No. 58 and No. 68) that were developed in an
effort to help implement the city’s Inclusionary Housing Program, which was adopted in 1993, into a single
revised Council Policy Statement (No. 57). The revised policy language does not significantly alter the intent or
purpose of the current policies, but streamlines application, clarifies inconsistent and conflicting language, and
memorializes longstanding processing practices. The adjustments in the inclusionary housing in-lieu fee amounts
being considered are based on an economic analysis prepared by Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. dated April
2021 specifically for the City of Carlsbad that evaluated area specific market trends data, land values,
development cost estimates, and other industry standards for both rental and for-sale residential development
and then prepared pro forma financial models to estimate the residual land value generated by each residential
prototype in determining options for different in-lieu fee amounts. Given the scope of the proposed action, it
can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect
on the environment, and therefore is found not to be subject to CEQA.

ownership units, residential developments less than seven may satisfy their inclusionary housing
obligation through payment of inclusionary housing in-lieu fees; and
WHEREAS, in 2015, in California Building Industry Association v. City of San Jose, the California
Supreme Court indicated that cities have “broad discretion to regulate the use of real property to serve
the legitimate interests of the general public and the community at large” and upheld an ordinance
requiring all new residential developments set-aside at least 15 percent of the for-sale units at a price
affordable to low or moderate income households; and
WHEREAS, in September 2017, Governor Gavin Newsom signed AB 1505 (Bloom), which
reinstated a municipality’s right to apply inclusionary requirements to rental housing; and
WHEREAS, Goal 10-G.2 of the city’s 2021-2029 Housing Element directs the city to provide
sufficient new, affordable housing opportunities in all quadrants of the city to meet the needs of
current lower- and moderate-income households and those with special needs, and a fair share
proportion of future lower- and moderate-income households; and
WHEREAS, as described in Program 2.1 of the city’s 2021-2029 Housing Element, the city will
continue to implement its Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, which requires a minimum of 15 percent of

Council Policy Statement
Category: AFFORDABLE HOUISNG
Specific Subject: Inclusionary Housing Ordinance – Alternative Means of Compliance
PURPOSE:
Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) §21.85.100, of the city’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, sets
forth the City Council’s ability to make available certain allowances and provisions for
development applications that would result in meeting the city’s affordable housing needs. To
assist in achieving this end, the City Council developed this policy to provide alternatives means of
compliance for meeting the city’s growing affordable housing needs. The provisions contained in
Policy No. 57 (Off-site and Combined Inclusionary Housing Projects), Policy No. 58 (Sale of
Affordable Housing Credits), and Policy No. 68 (Inclusionary Housing Incentive Credit Schedule)
have been combined into this revised Policy No. 57. Policy Nos. 58 and 68 were then subsequently
rescinded to have a single City Council Policy that administers the inclusionary housing program.
BACKGROUND:
The city’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC §21.85) was passed by the City Council in April
1993 and established the legal basis for requiring inclusionary housing in new residential
development in the city. Under the program, all residential developments are required to comply
with the code, projects with seven or more units are required to restrict 15 percent of the total
number of homes as affordable to lower income households. This obligation is fulfilled through
construction of rental or ownership units, or through other alternative means of compliance.
POLICY:
It is the policy of the City Council that the following Alternative Means of Compliance satisfy the
intent and requirements of CMC §21.85, 2021-2029 Housing Element Goals 10-G.2 and 10-G.4,
and Housing Element Policies 10-P.13 and 10-P.35.
1.In-Lieu Fee
Pursuant to CMC §21.85.110, developments proposing a total of six or fewer units may
satisfy their affordable housing obligation through payment of inclusionary housing in-lieu
fees. As an alternative for property owners who are constructing one single-family residence
on a single lot, an Accessory Dwelling Unit (detached or attached) or Junior Accessory
Dwelling Unit may be constructed concurrent with construction of the market-rate unit. The
ADU or JADU must be deed restricted for occupancy by income and rent qualified low-
income households for 30-years.

2.Inclusionary Affordability Requirement and Credit Adjustment
CMC §21.85.030.B states that not less than 15% of the total units in a residential
development of seven or more units shall be restricted to “lower-income households.“
Household income qualification is defined as 80% or below of the area median income for
San Diego County. The affordability is set at the 70% income level for rental households and
80% for ownership units. To assist the city in providing housing at varying affordability levels
(e.g., moderate, low-, very- and extremely low-income), developers shall have the following
options for satisfying the inclusionary ordinance:
a.At least 15% of the total units are restricted for low-income households (default
requirement as defined in CMC §21.85.020); or,
b.At least 15% of the total units are restricted at any combination of income categories
(e.g., moderate, low, very low, and/or extremely low-income) as long as the total
average gross income restriction does not exceed 80% of the area median income for
San Diego County as determined annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (affordable housing levels are defined in CMC §21.85.020); or,
c.A residential development can receive an incentive credit of 1.2 per inclusionary unit,
thereby reducing the inclusionary housing requirement from 15% to 12.5% 1, under the
following conditions.
1.All affordable units must be made available to very low or extremely low-income
households, or combination thereof.
2.The units are located on the same site as the market-rate units.
3.No financial assistance from the city is required.
3.Use of Accessory Dwelling Units
Pursuant to CMC §21.85.070.B, an applicant may construct up to 15 accessory dwelling units
(ADU) to satisfy their inclusionary requirements. The standards below provide additional
specifications for when this allowance can be used.
a.The project proposes 200 or more residential detached units; and,
b.The ADUs are an attached or detached housing product type; and,
c.The ADU shall have an affordability term (low-income) of at least 30 years; and,
d.The property owner shall be required to income qualify the tenant under 80% of the
area median income for San Diego County and restrict rents to not exceed the
affordable rent for 70% of the area median income for the unit size.
1 Example. An applicant proposes a 78-unit residential development, which requires that 15% of the units be reserved for low-income (12 inclusionary units). If the above standards are applied, the inclusionary units can be adjusted by 1.2, thereby reducing the total number of affordable units from 12 to 10 (12 divided by 1.2 equals 10). Under this scenario, 10 units in a 78-unit development projects equates to 12.8%, which meets the minimum inclusionary housing requirement of 12.5%.
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 13 of 163
Refer to Section 1 of this policy on the use of an ADU to satisfy inclusionary requirements on
a single lot to be developed with one single-family residence.
4. Combined Inclusionary Housing (Off-Site Compliance)
Circumstances may arise in which the public interest would be better served by allowing
some or all inclusionary units associated with a proposed residential development project to
be produced and operated at an alternate off-site(s) location. This alternative is described as
a “Combined Inclusionary Housing Project” or “Combined Project.”
a. Inclusionary Housing Calculation
The inclusionary housing calculation requirement shall be based on 15% of the total
number of market-rate units to be provided on-site and the inclusionary/affordable
units to be provided off-site.2
b. Required Findings
Consistent with CMC §21.85.080.B, the City Council delegates approval authority of
any proposed Combined Projects to the decision-making authority of the proposed
development project so long as the findings below are met. Notwithstanding, the City
Council shall retain final approval authority of the Affordable Housing Agreement on
any Combined Project that requires financial assistance from the city. The findings
below shall be included as part of the Affordable Housing Agreement decision
documents.
1. The site has not or will not receive a density increase or density bonus to
increase the number of total residential units permitted on the master
development site.
2. Site conditions make it physically infeasible to accommodate the inclusionary
units on-site.
3. Significant price and product type disparities make it financially infeasible to
accommodate the inclusionary units on-site.
4. There is a documented lack of development capacity to deliver affordable
housing on-site.
5. The off-site option provides greater financial feasibility and cost effectiveness
than the on-site alternative.
6. The off-site option provides better access to jobs, schools, transit, and services.
2 Example: An applicant proposes to satisfy its inclusionary requirements for a 112-unit project by building 15% of the total units for low-income households off-site. If the 112 units are to remain as the total market-rate units on the site, the total number of residential units needs to be recalculated before calculating the required number of inclusionary units to be provided off-site. If 85% of the total units for market rate are now 112 units then the “total residential unit count” is recalculated and becomes 132 units (112 ÷ 0.85 = 131.8, rounded up to 132). Using the new total residential unit count of 132 units the total number of inclusionary units required for this project becomes 20 units (132 X 0.15 = 19.8, rounded to 20), which results in an off-site inclusionary housing compliance requirement of 17.9% for this project (20 ÷ 112 = 17.85%).
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 14 of 163
7. The off-site option supports affordable housing goals and policies as expressed
in the city’s Housing Element.
5. Inclusionary Housing Credit Purchase Program
In certain circumstances, it may be in the city’s best interest to financially invest in projects
or ventures that further increase the availability and overall number of affordable housing
units in the city. Pursuant to §21.85.090, inclusionary units created which exceed the final
requirement for a project may, subject to City Council approval in the affordable housing
agreement, be utilized by a developer to satisfy other inclusionary requirements for which it
is obligated or market the units to other developers as a combined project subject to the
requirements of Section 21.85.080.
a. Affordable Housing Credit Bank – Establishment
1. Bank Establishment
Consistent with §21.85.090, this policy authorizes the establishment of an
affordable housing credit bank where affordable units that are constructed in
excess of inclusionary requirements can be purchased from the city by qualifying
developers to satisfy their respective inclusionary housing requirements. The City
Council shall approve the creation of an affordable housing credit bank, subject
to the following findings.
i. The affordable units intended for purchase are in excess of the minimum
number of units required under the city’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance;
or
ii. The affordable units intended for purchase are part of a 100% affordable
housing project; and
iii. The affordable excess units are constructed and received final
inspection; and
iv. The city financially contributed to the construction of the affordable
housing project that the affordable excess units are a part.
This policy does not authorize a developer to sell excess affordable units that are
constructed without city financial assistance. However, developers may pursue
approval for such an action, consistent with CMC §21.85.090 and Section 6 of this
policy.
2. Credit Pricing
The price for each unit (credit) shall be determined by dividing the “local
financial contribution” by the total number of affordable units that are in
excess of inclusionary requirements. The local (city’s) financial contribution
shall consist of all city financial assistance provided to the project (e.g., loans,
expenditures, hard/soft costs, and accrued interest). The credit price shall be
adjusted annually by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and set by the City
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 15 of 163
Council as part of their annual approval of the Master Fee Schedule.
b. Affordable Housing Credit Bank – Administration
1. Project Eligibility
Projects proposing more than seven, but no more than 50 residential units
are eligible to purchase affordable housing credits to satisfy their inclusionary
housing requirements. Projects greater than 50 residential units may pursue
approval of eligibility to purchase affordable housing credits consistent with
CMC §21.85.070 and Section 6 of this policy.
2. Credit Purchase Ratio
The amount of credits to be purchased shall be based on the following scale.
i. 7 to 20 units – 1.0 credit for each required inclusionary unit
ii. 21 to 35 units – 1.5 credits for each required inclusionary unit
iii. 36 to 50 units – 2.0 credits for each required inclusionary unit
3. Credit Purchase Findings
Authority to approve a credit purchase from an established affordable housing
credit bank shall be given to the decision-making authority of the proposed
development permit, so long as the findings below are met. Should a request to
purchase credits occur after discretionary approval, the Community
Development Director and the Housing & Homeless Services Director shall have
the authority to approve credits, subject to the findings below. If the findings can
be made, the Community Development Director, or designee shall determine via
a substantial compliance determination that the credit purchase satisfies the
project condition to construct the inclusionary unit, without the need to process
an amendment to the permit.
i. The affordable housing credit bank project site is located in the same city
quadrant in which the market-rate units are located, or is contiguous to
the quadrant in which the market-rate units are proposed; and,
ii. There are sufficient housing credits available to purchase.
4. Proximity to Bank
CMC §21.85.080 states that the credit purchase must be from an affordable
housing credit bank that is within the same city quadrant, or contiguous
quadrant in which the proposed market-rate units are proposed. This policy shall
clarify that “contiguous” includes quadrants that share a common border (e.g.,
the northeast and southwest quadrants are considered contiguous to the
northwest quadrant because they share a common border).
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 16 of 163
5. Credit Payment
Considering how credit pricing is established (Section 5.a.2), it is anticipated
that the credit purchase price will vary. As such, applicants must pay the credit
price of available credits from the oldest affordable housing credit bank project
that is located within the same city quadrant in which the market-rate units are
located, or is contiguous to the quadrant in which the market-rate units are
proposed. Funds from housing credit deposits/purchases shall be deposited to
the Housing Trust Fund.
i. Payment of housing credit purchases shall be due prior to recordation of
the final map or issuance of a building permit, in situations where the
project does not include a subdivision.
ii. Payments shall be deposited to the Housing Trust Fund pursuant to
Council Policy No. 90.
iii. If the project entitlements or above-mentioned due dates expire, the
credits will be made available to another project(s), subject to this
process.
6. Other Alternative Means of Compliance not Specified
The City Council may approve, pursuant to CMC §21.85.070, alternatives that are not
authorized by this policy where the proposed alternative supports specific housing element
policies and goals and assists the city in meeting its state housing requirements. Alternatives
may include, but are not limited to, acquisition and rehabilitation of affordable units,
conversion of existing market-rate units to affordable units, construction of special needs
housing projects or programs (e.g., shelters, transitional housing), the construction of
accessory dwelling units, or the purchase of housing credits for projects greater than 50
residential units.
7. Approval Authority
Approval authority for development projects subject to this policy is as follows:
a. The decision-making authority for the underlying permit application(s) shall have the
authority to consider and approve projects found consistent with this policy; this
includes consideration and approval of the findings for Combined Inclusionary Housing
Projects (Section 5.b.3).
b. Development projects that propose an alternative means of compliance that is not
consistent with this policy shall be considered by the City Council, after review and
recommendation of the Affordable Housing Policy Team and the Housing Commission.
c. A project condition shall be added to all projects subject to this policy requiring that an
Affordable Housing Agreement, consistent with §21.85.140, be reviewed, approved,
and recorded prior to Final Map or issuance of building permits, whichever comes first.
Approval authority of the Affordable Housing Agreement is as follows:
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 17 of 163
1.Affordable Housing Agreements that are consistent with §21.85 and this policy
and do not request financial assistance from the city shall be considered for
approval by the Housing and Homeless Services Director, after review and
recommendation of the Affordable Housing Policy Team.
2.Affordable Housing Agreements that propose a deviation(s) to this policy or
include a request for financial assistance shall be considered by the City Council,
after review and recommendation of the Affordable Housing Policy Team and
the Housing Commission.

BACKGROUND
The City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85) establishes certain requirements under
which residential developers must provide housing that is affordable to lower-income households as a
condition of project approval and permit issuance.
The Ordinance provides that inclusionary units "should be built on-site and, wherever reasonably possible,
be distributed throughout the project site." The Ordinance also provides that "circumstances may arise ...
in which the public interest would be served by allowing some or all of the inclusionary units associated with
one project site to be produced and operated at an alternative site or sites." This alternative is described
as a "Combined Inclusionary Housing Project" or "Combined Project". The Ordinance, in addressing
Combined Projects, states that "it is the exclusive prerogative of the final decision making authority of the
City to determine whether or not it is in the public interest to authorize the residential sites to form a
Combined Inclusionary Housing Project. "
PURPOSE
It is the purpose of this policy to establish the criteria which will be utilized in order to make the necessary
finding that off-site satisfaction of an inclusionary housing requirement, when proposed through a Combined
Project, is in the public interest.
POLICY
The following criteria will be applied in order to make the necessary public interest finding. Each criteria
is defined in terms of specific questions which, when affirmatively answered, would support an off-site
option:

1. Feasibility of the On-site Proposal.
► Are there significant feasibility issues due to factors such as project size, site constraints, and
competition from multiple projects that make an on-site option impractical?
► Will an affordable housing product be difficult to integrate into the proposed market
development because of significant price and product type disparity?
► Does the on-site development entity lack the capacity to deliver the proposed affordable
housing on-site?
2. Relative Advantages/Disadvantages of the Off-site Proposal
► Does the off-site option offer greater feasibility and cost effectiveness than the on-site
alternative, particularly regarding potential local public assistance and when applying the
City's Affordable Housing Financial Assistance Policy.
► Does the off-site proposal have location advantages over the on-site alternative, such as
proximity to jobs, schools, transportation, services; less impact on other existing
developments, etc.?
► Does the off-site option offer a development entity with the capacity to deliver the proposed
project?
► Does the off-site option satisfy multiple developer obligations that would be difficult to satisfy
with multiple projects?

3. Advancing Housing Goals
► Does the off-site proposal advance and/or support City housing goals and policies as
expressed in the Housing Element, CHAS and Inclusionary Housing Ordinance?
It is likely that off-site proposals will involve "mixed" results with the application of the above criteria. The
"public interest" finding shall be made when a Combined Project Review Committee made up of the City
Manager, City Attorney, Community Development Director, Financial Management Director, Planning
Director, Housing & Redevelopment Director, and the Mayor (ex-officio), reaches consensus that a proposal
substantially and affirmatively satisfies the above criteria and that this conclusion can be appropriately
documented through the use of a Combined/Off-site Project Evaluation Assessment Worksheet. (Attachment
1).
PROCEDURE
1. Projects with an inclusionary housing obligation will be processed according to the requirements of
the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.
2. Project approvals must be conditioned with the option to propose an off-site method (i.e., Combined
Project) of satisfying the inclusionary obligation. A project proposing an off-site option may or may
not also propose an on-site option.
3. Prior to final map or issuance of building permits, applicants must submit an Affordable Housing
Agreement as described in the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance which specifically describes any off-
site proposal.
4. Off-site proposals in the form of a draft Affordable Housing Agreement will be reviewed by the
Combined Project Review Committee and it will be determined if the necessary findings can be made
by staff.

PURPOSE
To establish a policy to be followed by City Council and City staff in selling Affordable Housing Credits,
controlled by the City, to developers who will use the Credits to satisfy obligations to provide affordable
housing pursuant to the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC Chapter 21.85).
BACKGROUND
In the development of the 344-unit affordable housing project known as Villa Lorna in the Southwest
Quadrant of the City, the developers and the City created a project which may be treated as a Combined
Project as defined in the City's Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. With City Council approval, Combined
Projects allow "some or all of the inclusionary units associated with one residential project site to be
produced and operated at an alternative site". The "alternative site" becomes a Combined Project. Villa
Loma was conceived and developed with City participation based on the creation of 184 excess affordable
housing units which would be available to satisfy other developers' inclusionary housing obligations thus
making it a potential Combined Project. City financial participation in the project was also based on the
concept of recovering costs through the sale of the excess units. Furthermore, Villa Lorna was structured to
give the City control of these units (Affordable Housing Credits or "Credits") and their sale to potential
Combined Project participants. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a policy to guide the City in the
effective implementation of these Affordable Housing Credit sales transactions.
POLICY
Two basic factors will be considered in a Credit sale transaction --the financial aspect, which is the Credit
pricing --this determines cost to a purchaser and revenue to the City; and the affordable housing aspect,
which is the use of this mechanism to satisfy a developer's obligation under the Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance. Based on these considerations, the following will guide Credit sales:

► Price. The Credit price will be determined according to the following formula which divides the local
financial contribution provided to the Villa Loma project by the total number of Credits available.
The local financial contribution consists of all City financial assistance provided to the project ( either
as loans or expenditures for land including accrued interest on such amounts for the period of time
they are outstanding); and the local developer contribution to the project provided in order to satisfy
an affordable housing obligation):

► Terms of Purchase and Sale. The commitment to purchase and sell Credits will be accomplished
through an Affordable Housing Agreement as required by the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance. This
Agreement will contain the terms of the Credit sale and will acknowledge the satisfaction of an
affordable housing obligation through participation in a Combined Project (Villa Loma).

► Selection of Purchasers. The following procedure will apply to the selection of purchasers and
allocation of Credits:
1. Project Review. Staff, through the Combined Project Review Committee (see Council Policy
No. 57) will review all applications and approved projects with inclusionary requirements and
determine which projects will be recommended to satisfy their obligations through the
purchase of Credits. If the number of acceptable projects have affordable housing
requirements which exceed the available number of Credits, projects will be ranked and
allocated Credits accordingly. Projects will be reviewed and ranked using the following
criteria:
a) The immediacy of the need to satisfy an affordable housing obligation with respect to
the market rate project that is generating the obligation.
b) The readiness and capacity of the developer to enter into an Affordable Housing
Agreement and perform under its terms.
c) The acceptability of the Combined Project as an off-site option in lieu of the
satisfaction of the affordable housing obligation on-site with respect to the project that
is generating the obligation (see Council Policy No. 57).
2. Electing to Purchase Credits. Developers will be notified of staffs recommendation to permit
the purchase of Credits and given the opportunity to accept or reject this option.
3. Reservation of Credits. Developers wishing to use the option of purchasing Credits must have
their projects approved with conditions allowing this option. In addition to Planning
Commission approval, the recommendation of the Housing Commission will be required for
the Credit purchase option of satisfying the Inclusionary Housing Obligation. When a project
is approved (e.g., tentative map) with the Credit purchase condition, a reservation of the
Credits is made for the project.

4. Affordable Housing Agreement. Within sixty (60) days of the approval of the Credit purchase
condition, the developer must deliver to the Housing and Redevelopment Director a signed
Affordable Housing Agreement in the form prescribed by the City with a non-refundable
deposit in an amount equal to 10% of the total Credit sale price. The Affordable Housing
Agreement will be scheduled for City Council consideration and, if and when approved, will
be executed by the City. The Affordable Housing Agreement will require payment of the
balance of the purchase price upon execution and prior to final map or issuance of a building
permit.
5. Failure of Developer to Perform or Denial of Purchase Option. If the developer is unable to
perform as required, or is denied the option of purchasing Credits, the Credits will be made
available to another project(s), subject to this process.
6. This policy is subject to all other requirements of the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance.

Copies to: City Council, City Manager, City Attorney, Department Heads and Division Heads,
Employee Bulletin Boards, Press, File
PURPOSE:
Pursuant to 21.85.060 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, the City Council shall adopt a schedule of
inclusionary housing incentive credit to specify developer eligibility for extra credit to reduce his/her
total inclusionary housing requirement to less than 15% of all residential units approved. The noted
schedule is set forth within this City Council Policy, and it may be amended from time to time to
reflect any changes in the incentive credit(s) policy.
BACKGROUND:
When the lnclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC 21.85) was adopted in 1993, and then amended in
2000, it was the City Council's expressed intent to allow housing developers to reduce their total
inclusionary housing obligation to less than 15% if the developers provided a more desirable product
or otherwise made a proposal which went above and beyond the intent of the Ordinance in terms of
product type or affordability of those units. At the time of the Ordinance development, this policy on
the schedule for incentive credits (giving more than one unit credit) was not adopted. The schedule is
being adopted at this time to guide the City in its application of the requirements for affordable
housing development.
POLICY:
The City Council will grant incentive credit based on the criteria and conditions set forth in the chart
below. The project must meet all of the noted product criteria and development conditions to qualify
for the incentive credit.

To assist with application of the above noted incentive credit schedule, the following examples are
provided for further explanation purposes.
Example 1 -Small to Medium Size Project:
Developer proposes to build a total of 78 for-sale town homes within a new development, which has
an inclusionary housing requirement. Per current lnclusionary Housing requirements, the developer
must provide 12 of those units (15%) as affordable to low income households (80% of the AMI or
below). Under the above noted credit schedule, the developer could receive extra credit if 1) the
affordable product within that development is also a for-sale town home, and 2) it will be affordable to
very low or extremely low income households (50% of AMI or below), and 3) the developer obtains
no financial assistance from the City. The credit would work as follows:
12 low income for-sale affordable units
+ 1.2 unit credit
= 10 very low income units
(Developer could provide 1 O very low income units
rather than 12 low income units)
10 units + 78 total housing units = 12.8% of the total units
12.8% exceeds the 12.5% minimum
Under this scenario, the developer meets all of the extra credit criteria and could be allowed to
construct 1 O units rather than 12 units (2 fewer units), and would satisfy the City's inclusionary
housing requirements.
Example 2 -Large Size Project:
Developer proposes to build a total of 1078 for-sale town homes within a development. Per current
lnclusionary Housing Ordinance requirements, the developer must provide 162 of those units (15%)
as affordable to low income households (80% of the AMI or below). Under the noted credit policy
above, the developer would receive extra credit if 1) the affordable product within that development is
also a for-sale town home, and 2) it will be affordable to very low or extremely low income
households (50% of AMI or below), and 3) the developer obtains no financial assistance from the
City. The credit would work as follows:

(Developer could provide 135 very low income units
rather than 162 low income units)
135 + 1078 total housing units = 12.5%
12.5% is the minimum inclusionary housing requirement
permitted under this policy
Under this scenario, the developer meets all of the extra credit criteria and could be allowed to
construct 135 units rather than 162 units (27 fewer units), and would satisfy the City's inclusionary
housing requirements.
PROCEDURE:
The request for affordable housing incentive credit will be processed together with all other
entitlements to allow for development of a housing project. As long as a project is consistent with this
City Council policy, the incentive credit may be granted by either the Planning Commission, Design
Review Board, Housing and Redevelopment Commission, and/or City Council.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. Objective
This report presents the economic analysis prepared by Keyser Marston Associates, Inc. (KMA) for the
City of Carlsbad (City) to evaluate the potential of updating the City’s existing inclusionary housing in-
lieu fee.
B. City of Carlsbad Existing Inclusionary Housing Ordinance
The City’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC §21.85) was established in 1993 and requires that all
residential developments proposing seven or more units restrict 15 percent of the total number of
homes in a project as affordable to low-income households. This obligation is fulfilled through
construction of a variety of rental or ownership units, both on and off-site. Affordable rental units must
be restricted for 55 years; affordable for-sale units must remain affordable for 30 years after the initial
sale of the unit.1
Some developments (specifically, projects of six or fewer dwelling units) have the option to satisfy their
affordable housing obligation through payment of an inclusionary housing in-lieu fee. Six or fewer units
was used as the eligibility threshold because the affordable unit calculation resulted in a number of less
than one (i.e., 6 units multiplied by 15% equals 0.9 units).
The in-lieu fee was initially set at $11,485.46 per market-rate unit. The fee was recalculated in 1996
based on 15% of the City’s per-unit subsidy for the Villa Loma Apartment community ($30,100), resulting
in a reduction of the fee to $4,515 per market-rate unit. The fee amount has remained unchanged
since. Through this fee, roughly $1.7 million has been collected since inception of the program.
C. Methodology
KMA performed the following key work tasks in completing this analysis.
1. Reviewed the City’s existing Inclusionary Ordinance and historical results in terms of unit production
and in-lieu fee revenue.
2. Compiled data pertaining to inclusionary housing in-lieu fees and/or affordable housing impact fees
currently being charged by other cities in San Diego County.
1 After the first 15 years, the owner of an affordable unit may sell at a market price if the City does not
exercise its option to purchase at an affordable price. In this case, the City recaptures its subsidy plus a
proportionate share of any appreciation. Funds recaptured by the City shall be used in assisting other
eligible households with home purchases at affordable prices.
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 41 of 163
3. Reviewed market trends data, land values, development cost estimates, and other industry
standards for both rental and for-sale residential development.
4. Formulated residential development prototypes in coordination with City planning staff.
5. Prepared pro forma financial models to estimate the residual land value generated by each
residential prototype under two scenarios: (a) at 100% market-rate; and (b) assuming the City’s
existing inclusionary requirement of 15% at Low Income.
D. Organization of Report
This report is organized into the following key sections:
• Following this introduction, Section II presents the KMA key findings.
• Section III presents the Citywide in-lieu fee financial analysis.
• Section IV presents the financial analysis for an in-lieu fee for the Village and Barrio Master Plan area
(Village/Barrio).
• Section V presents limiting conditions pertaining to this report.
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 42 of 163
II. KEY FINDINGS
A. Potential Fee Levels
The City requested that KMA analyze potential inclusionary in-lieu fee levels Citywide and within the
Village/Barrio. In order to provide the City with a framework for setting possible fee levels, KMA
considered two approaches: (1) the economic impact of incorporating affordable housing on-site; and
(2) the funding level required for the market-rate developer or City to implement targeted inclusionary
housing production in an off-site location.
Potential Fee Levels
As presented in Table II-1, based on the findings from the two approaches noted above, the City may
wish to consider a Citywide in-lieu fee of up to $31,240 per market-rate unit, or between $15 and $25
per square foot (SF) of market-rate residential living area. In the Village/Barrio, the City may wish to
consider a potential fee of up to $34,940 per market-rate unit, or between $25 and $35 per SF of
market-rate residential living area.
Table II-1: Potential Fee Levels – 15% Low Income
Citywide Village/Barrio
Per Market-Rate Unit $31,240 $34,940
Per Net SF Market- Rate Unit $15 - $25 $25 - $35
As noted above, the fee levels are expressed on both a per-unit and per-SF basis. A per-SF in-lieu fee, as
compared to a flat fee approach, recognizes the various residential unit sizes produced both Citywide
and in the Village/Barrio and avoids overly burdening the production of small units.
Potential Fee Level Adjustments
Some jurisdictions apply an automatic adjustment to their in-lieu fee on an annual basis. This provision
ensures that the fees charged will adjust annually to reflect changes in housing production costs. There
are a number of potential indices that could be used to adjust fee levels in the future. A review of
potential indices that could be used to adjust the fee in the future is presented in Table II-2.

As shown below in Table II-3, between 1996 and 2020, the average annual growth range for the above
indices ranged between 2.57% and 2.69%. Had the annual growth rates from these indices been
applied to the City’s existing $4,515 in-lieu fee in 1996, the in-lieu fee would have increased to between
$8,308 and $8,528 per market-rate unit in 2020.

Estimated In-Lieu Fee, 2020 $8,387 $8,308 $8,529
B. Economic Impact of Potential Fee Levels
The KMA analysis also estimated the economic impact of the potential fee levels on project feasibility.
The economic impact of the in-lieu fees was measured against residual land value and developer profit.
Residual land value is defined as the as the maximum land value supported by a proposed development.
It is calculated by estimating the total value upon completion (or total available funding sources) and
subtracting the estimated total development costs (other than land acquisition costs) required to
develop the project.
Specifically, the residual land value for each residential prototype is derived from the following
calculation.
Exhibit II-1: Residual Land Value Calculation
Table II-4 provides a summary of the economic impact as measured by comparing: (a) the residual land
value and developer profit generated from the optimal approach to fulfilling the City’s existing 15%
inclusionary requirement, whether on-site or off-site production, against (b) the residual land value and
developer profit resulting from a potential in-lieu fee of $15 to $25 per SF of market-rate residential
living area Citywide and a potential in-lieu fee of $25 to $35 per SF in the Village/Barrio. The figures
noted below reflect the average outcome for the four (4) Citywide and four (4) Village/Barrio residential
development prototypes evaluated in this study.

Impact on Residual Land Value 7.8% -4.5% 3.3% -3.1%
Impact on Developer Profit -3.2% -5.3% -3.8% -5.4%
As shown in Table II-4, the potential in-lieu fee levels have relatively minor economic impacts on
residential development projects when compared to a developer’s existing options for compliance with
the inclusionary requirement, i.e., producing inclusionary units either on- or off-site. The “low”
potential fee level demonstrates either a positive or minor negative impact as compared to existing
compliance methods. The “high” fee demonstrates relatively minor negative impacts as compared to
existing compliance methods.
For any new or increased in-lieu fee, a period of adjustment may be needed for the development
marketplace to adjust to the new fee. Specifically, developers and landowners will need to consider
how to incorporate increased fees into their financial pro formas and/or evaluate alternative means of
compliance.
C. Survey of San Diego County Jurisdictions
KMA conducted a survey of inclusionary in-lieu fees and affordable housing impact fees in other San
Diego County communities. The survey is summarized in Table II-5 below in comparison with potential
fee levels for the City of Carlsbad. Detailed information on each jurisdiction’s inclusionary program and
fee levels is presented in Appendix 1. City

Inclusionary housing programs and in-lieu fees vary widely throughout the County, with varying
amounts of fee levels and threshold requirements for the payment of in-lieu fees. For example, some
jurisdictions allow the payment of an in-lieu fee for projects of all sizes; others, like the City, limit the
payment of in-lieu fees to only those projects that meet specific criteria.

III. IN-LIEU FEE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS: CITYWIDE
A. Residential Development Prototypes
Table III-1 provides a summary of the residential development prototypes identified for the Citywide in-
lieu fee financial analysis. The Citywide prototypes are illustrative of the types of development projects
occurring, and anticipated to occur, throughout the City. Three (3) new construction for-sale residential
prototypes and one (1) new construction rental residential prototype were identified based on
discussions with City staff. While this level of feasibility analysis is useful for conceptual planning
purposes, the actual circumstances for individual projects – physical, planning, market, financial, and
other factors – will likely vary from the findings presented in this report.

B. Projected Market Sales Prices and Rent
KMA surveyed new for-sale and rental developments throughout the City. The purpose of the survey
was to derive estimates of the currently achievable market prices and rental rates for the types of
developments likely to be constructed in the City. The base case market-rate sales prices and monthly
rent estimates that are used in the Citywide financial feasibility analyses are presented in Table III-2.

C. Affordable Price and Rent Calculation
For the purposes of this financial analysis, the maximum affordable sales prices and rents for the
income-restricted units were calculated based on the standards imposed by California Health and Safety
Codes Section 50052.5 (ownership) and Section 50053 (rental). The detailed calculations are presented
in Appendix 6; the key assumptions and results are summarized below.
Affordable Sales Price
• The price restrictions were calculated for three different for-sale residential prototypes (single-
family large lot, single-family medium lot, and townhomes).
• The household income information used in the calculations is based on 2020 income statistics for
San Diego County as a whole. The household incomes are published annually by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
• Household size appropriate for the unit were based on the City’s Inclusionary Housing Calculations
guidelines.
• Maximum monthly ownership housing payments were calculated as equal to 1/12 x 30% x 80% Area
Median Income (AMI) adjusted for household size.
• Housing-related costs reflecting the specifics of each residential prototype and current lending
industry underwriting criteria were determined as follows:
o Utilities based on the City of Carlsbad utility allowance schedule, effective December 1, 2019,
and the assumption that the homeowner’s utility costs are comprised of gas cooking and water
heating, gas heating, other basic electric services, water and sewer, and trash.
o Homeowner Association (HOA) dues, reflecting an allowance for structure insurance,
maintenance, and reserves.
o Property taxes, assuming a typical City tax rate of 1.20% of assessed value.
o Supportable mortgage, assuming a 30-year loan, 4.5% interest rate, and a 10.0% down payment.
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 49 of 163
Affordable Rent
• The household income information used in the calculations of affordable rent were based on 2020
income statistics for San Diego County as a whole. The household incomes are published annually
by HUD.
• The household size appropriate for the unit based on the City’s Inclusionary Housing Calculations
guidelines.
• Maximum monthly rental housing payment calculated as equal to 1/12 x 30% x 70% AMI (adjusted
for household size), less adjustments for certain tenant-paid utilities.
• Utilities based on the City of Carlsbad utility allowance schedule, effective December 1, 2019, and
the assumption that the tenant’s utility costs are comprised of gas cooking and water heating, gas
heating, and other basic electric services.
The resulting average affordable sales prices and rents for each of the Citywide residential prototypes
are presented in Table III-3.

D. Approach 1: Economic Impact of Incorporating Affordable Housing On-Site
To estimate the economic impact of incorporating inclusionary housing requirements on-site, KMA
prepared financial pro forma models for each Citywide residential development prototype. The financial
pro forma models present comparative impacts of: (a) a 100% market-rate residential development, as
compared to (b) the City’s current inclusionary housing requirement. Appendix 3 provides the detailed
pro forma analyses prepared by KMA for each Citywide residential development prototype.
Attachments A through D within Appendix 3 are organized as follows:
Table 1 Project Description
Table 2 Estimate of Development Costs
Table 3 Estimate of Sales Proceeds or Annual Revenue and Residual Land Value
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 50 of 163
Each attachment displays a financial pro forma model estimating the residual land value for: (1) a base
case consisting of a 100% market-rate development; and (2) a development that complies with the City’s
existing inclusionary requirement, i.e., 15% at Low Income. The base case residual land value outcome
can then be measured against the residual land value that is generated when the 15% Low Income
requirement is imposed. The economic impact of incorporating the City’s existing inclusionary
requirement on-site, is summarized in Table III-4.

Per Market-Rate Net SF $42.15 $41.82 $34.81 $30.27 $37.26
As shown in Table III-4, the economic impact of including 15% Low Income units on-site is estimated to
range from $30,000 to $135,000 per unit, or $30 to $42 per SF, of market-rate residential living area.
E. Approach 2: Funding Level Required to Implement Inclusionary Housing Production in an Off-Site
Location
KMA also prepared estimates of the affordability gaps associated with developing affordable housing in
an off-site location. The purpose of this financial analysis was to estimate the funding gap that would be
required for either a market-rate residential developer or the City to create the targeted inclusionary
housing production in a separate off-site location.
As detailed in Appendix 3, Attachment E, the analysis assumed the off-site affordable housing project to
be rental apartments, in a stacked flat configuration over tuck-under parking, consisting of 60 units on a
2.0-acre site. KMA estimated the development costs, operating budget, and anticipated funding sources
for this off-site affordable housing development prototype.
The KMA analysis assumed that the affordable development is financed with Low Income Housing Tax
Credits (Tax Credits) and Multi-family Housing Program (MHP) funds. The development budget was also
assumed to include the payment of prevailing wages. Additional key assumptions used in the
affordability gap analysis are as follows:
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 51 of 163
• Total development costs, excluding acquisition, estimated at $392,000 per unit.
• Acquisition costs estimated at $100,000 per unit.
• Monthly rents at an average of 50% AMI in order to competitively apply for 4% Tax Credits.
The resulting stabilized annual net operating income generated by the affordable units are shown in
Table III-5.
Table III-5: Off-Site Affordable Units – Net Operating Income – Citywide
Per Unit Per Year 50% AMI
Average Monthly Rent, 2020 $1,171
Effective Gross Income $13,450
(Less) Operating Expenses ($6,417)
Net Operating Income $7,033
Funding sources available for the affordable units are assumed to include a combination of first
mortgage debt, Tax Credit equity investment, State of California MHP funds, funding from the Federal
Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing Program (AHP), deferred developer fee/General Partner equity
contribution, and income during lease-up. These potential funding sources are itemized in Table III-6.
Table III-6: Off-Site Affordable Units – Sources of Fund per Unit - Citywide
Supportable Permanent Loan $113,000
Low Income Housing Tax Credit Equity $134,000
Multifamily Housing Program $50,000
Affordable Housing Program $10,000
Deferred Developer Fee/General Partner Equity $7,000
Income During Lease-Up $1,000
Total Sources of Funds $315,000
As shown in Table III-7, the affordability gap for the affordable units is estimated at $177,000 per Low
Income unit. This figure is calculated as the difference between total development costs and total
funding sources.
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 52 of 163
Table III-7: Off-Site Affordable Units – Affordability Gap per Unit - Citywide
Total Sources of Funds $315,000
(Less) Total Development Costs ($492,000)
Affordability Gap per Affordable Unit $177,000
As shown above, KMA estimates that a Low Income rental unit developed Citywide has an estimated
financing gap of $177,000. In other words, for the market-rate developer or City to facilitate creation of
off-site Low Income units Citywide, it would need to contribute $177,000 per affordable rental unit. As
shown in Table III-8, under the City’s existing inclusionary requirement, the required number of off-site
Low Income units is calculated against the total number of market-rate units approved plus the
inclusionary units produced. This equates to $31,240 per market-rate unit developed (i.e., $177,000 ÷
85% x 15%).
Table III-8: Estimate of Funding Gap for Off-Site Low Income Units - Citywide
Affordability Gap per Off-Site Low-Income Unit $177,000
Per Market-Rate Unit
@ 15% Inclusionary Set-Aside $31,240
This funding gap outcome can be expressed on both a per-unit basis and per-SF basis relative to the
market-rate residential development. KMA estimates that the City would need to receive an in-lieu fee
ranging from $10 to $32 per SF, depending on the market-rate prototype, or an average of $19 per SF
market-rate residential living area, as shown in Table III-9.

F. Range of Potential In-Lieu Fees
As summarized in Table III-10, in view of Approaches 1 and 2 above, the City may wish to consider a
Citywide in-lieu fee of $31,240 per unit, or between $15 and $25 per SF of market-rate residential living
area.

G. Economic Impact of In-Lieu Fee Levels
The KMA analysis also estimated the economic impact of the potential fee levels on project feasibility.
For each residential prototype, KMA first compared the residual land value generated from
incorporating affordable units on-site within a market-rate development vs. the funding level required
for inclusionary housing production off-site. The approach that yielded the higher residual land value
was deemed the “optimal approach” to inclusionary production that a developer would most likely
choose.
KMA then compared the residual land value from the optimal approach to the residual land value
generated when imposing a potential in-lieu fee of $15 to $25 per SF of market-rate residential living
area. The difference in residual land value reflects the economic impact of the potential fee levels. The
KMA findings are summarized in Table III-11, below.

KMA also analyzed the impact of the potential fee levels on the market-rate residential developer’s
profit, assuming that the base case land value is held constant. The results of this analysis are
summarized in Table III-12.

The results shown in Tables III-11 and III-12 demonstrate that potential in-lieu fee levels between $15
and $25 per SF for residential development projects Citywide will have relatively minor impacts on
developers’ financial pro formas, when compared to existing compliance methods of producing
inclusionary units either on- or off-site.

IV. IN-LIEU FEE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS: VILLAGE AND BARRIO MASTER PLAN AREA
A. Residential Development Prototypes
Table IV-1 provides a summary of the residential development prototypes identified for the
Village/Barrio in-lieu fee financial analysis. The Village/Barrio prototypes are illustrative of the types of
development projects occurring and anticipated to occur in the Village/Barrio. Three new construction
for-sale residential prototypes and one new construction rental residential prototype were identified
based on discussion with City staff. While this level of feasibility analysis is useful for conceptual
planning purposes, the actual circumstances for individual projects – physical, planning, market,
financial, and other factors – will likely vary from the findings presented in this report.

E. Approach 2: Funding Level Required to Implement Inclusionary Housing Production in an Off-Site
Location
KMA prepared estimates of the affordability gaps associated with developing affordable housing in an
off-site location. The purpose of this financial analysis was to estimate the funding gap that would be
required for either a market-rate residential developer or the City to create the targeted inclusionary
housing production in a separate off-site location.
As detailed in Appendix 4, Attachment J, the analysis assumed the affordable housing project to be
rental apartments, in a stacked flat configuration over podium parking, consisting of 20 units on a 0.50-
acre site. KMA estimated the development costs, operating budget, and anticipated funding sources for
the off-site affordable housing development prototype. The KMA analysis assumed that the affordable
development is financed with either 4% or 9% Tax Credits.
As shown in Table IV-5, the average affordability gap for the affordable units is estimated to average
$198,000 per Low Income unit. These figures are calculated as the difference between total
development costs and total funding sources.

(Less) Total Development Costs $490,000 $458,000 $474,000
Affordability Gap per Affordable Unit $228,000 $167,000 $198,000
As shown above, KMA estimates that a Low Income rental unit developed in the Village/Barrio has an
estimated average financing gap of $198,000. In other words, for the market-rate developer or City to
facilitate creation of off-site Low Income units in the Village/Barrio, it would need to contribute
$198,000 per affordable rental unit. As shown in Table IV-6, under the City’s existing inclusionary
requirement, the required number of off-site Low Income units is calculated against the total number of
market-rate units approved plus inclusionary units produced. This equates to $34,940 per market-rate
unit developed (i.e., $198,000 ÷ 85% x 15%).

Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 120 of 163
APPENDIX 5 – VIABILITY OF 20% INCLUSIONARY SET-ASIDE REQUIREMENT
A. Overview
KMA also evaluated the viability of a potential 5% increase to the City’s inclusionary set-aside
requirement. This Appendix evaluates the feasibility of increasing the inclusionary requirement to 20%
Low Income, as well as the corresponding potential in-lieu fee levels, using the same framework and
assumptions described in Sections III and IV of this report.
It should be noted that under Assembly Bill 1505, signed into law September 29, 2017, inclusionary
ordinances that require more than 15% of total units to be rented by Low Income households are
subject to State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) review. Under
AB 1505, HCD may then request that a city provide an economic feasibility study as evidence that a 20%
rental inclusionary requirement does not unduly constrain the production of housing. The brief
evaluation of the viability of a 20% inclusionary set-aside requirement presented in this Appendix is not
intended to meet the criteria established by HCD for an economic feasibility study and therefore should
not be treated as such.
B. Viability of 20% Low Income Inclusionary Requirement
KMA evaluated the viability of a 20% inclusionary set-aside requirement by comparing: (a) the residual
land value generated when assuming the City’s existing 15% inclusionary requirement as previously
described in Sections III (Citywide) and IV (Village/Barrio), against (b) the residual land value generated
when assuming a 20% inclusionary requirement. The methodology used to determine residual land
value for the residential development prototypes assuming a 20% inclusionary requirement is described
in detail in Sections C and D below.
The results of the 20% Low Income inclusionary analysis for the Citywide residential development
prototypes are summarized in Table 1.

prototypes are summarized in Table 2.

(2) Reflects residual land value using the optimal approach to fulfilling inclusionary obligation.
As shown in Tables 1 and 2 above, the impact of increasing to a 20% inclusionary requirement was
estimated to reduce residual land value for residential projects by an average of -7.4% Citywide and -
8.9% in the Village/Barrio. KMA surveyed land sales that occurred Citywide, in the Village/Barrio, and
areas adjacent to the Village/Barrio since 2015. Over time, land values in San Diego County have
increased 4% to 5% per year. On this basis, then, it is reasonable to assume that an impact of -7.4% to -
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 122 of 163
8.9% could be absorbed in a period of two to three years. Based on the magnitude of this economic
impact, it is the KMA preliminary conclusion that a 20% inclusionary set-aside requirement is potentially
viable.
C. In-Lieu Fee Financial Analysis – 20% Inclusionary Requirement
KMA prepared estimates of potential in-lieu fee levels for a 20% Low Income inclusionary requirement
using the same methodology as described in Sections III and IV above.
Approach 1: Economic Impact of Incorporating 20% Affordable Housing On-Site
To estimate the economic impact of incorporating a 20% inclusionary housing requirement on-site, KMA
prepared financial pro forma models for each Citywide and Village/Barrio residential development
prototype assuming: (1) a base case consisting of a 100% market-rate development; and (2) a
development that assumes 20% of the units at Low Income. The base case residual land value outcome
was then measured against the residual land value that is generated when the 20% Low Income
requirement is imposed.
Citywide
The economic impact of incorporating a 20% Low Income inclusionary requirement on-site for the
Citywide residential development prototypes is summarized in Table 3.

Per Market-Rate Net SF $50.89 $50.00 $44.94 $38.34 $46.04
As shown in Table 3, the economic impact of including 20% Low Income units on-site is estimated to
range from $38,000 to $163,000 per unit, or $38 to $51 per SF, of market-rate residential living area for
the Citywide prototypes.
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 123 of 163
Village/Barrio
KMA used the same methodology to estimate the economic impact of incorporating a 20% Low Income
inclusionary requirement on-site in the Village/Barrio. As shown in Table 4, the economic impact of
including 20% Low-Income units on-site is estimated to range from $45,000 to $110,000 per unit, or $32
to $91 per SF of market-rate residential living area, in the Village/Barrio.

Approach 2: Funding Level Required to Implement 20% Inclusionary Housing Production in an Off-Site
Location
KMA also prepared estimates of the affordability gaps associated with developing 20% affordable
housing in an off-site location. The purpose of this financial analysis was to estimate the funding gap
that would be required for either a market-rate residential developer or the City to create the targeted
20% inclusionary housing production in a separate off-site location.
As noted previously, a Low Income rental unit developed Citywide has an estimated financing gap of
$177,000, and a Low-Income unit developed in the Village/Barrio has an estimated average financing
gap of $198,000. In the event that the City were to increase its inclusionary requirement to 20%, the
affordability gap per market-rate unit would increase to $44,250 ($177,000 ÷ 80% x 20%) for Low
Income units developed Citywide or $49,500 ($198,000 ÷ 80% x 20%) for Low Income units developed in
the Village/Barrio, as summarized in Table 5.

Citywide
This funding gap outcome can be expressed on both a per-unit basis and per-SF basis relative to the
market-rate residential development. As shown in Table 6, KMA estimates that the City would need to
receive a fee of $44,250 per market-rate unit, or a per-SF fee ranging between $14 and $45, depending
on the market-rate prototype, or an average of $27 per SF living area.

Likewise, to fund the creation of 20% Low Income units in an off-site location in the Village/Barrio, the
City would need to receive $49,500 per market-rate unit, or between $35 to $58 per SF, depending on
the market-rate prototype, or an average of $44 per SF living area, as shown in Table 7.

D. Potential Fee Levels
Citywide
In view of Approaches 1 and 2, if the City seeks to increase the inclusionary requirement to 20%, it may
wish to consider a potential in-lieu fee Citywide of $44,250 per market-rate unit, or between $20 and
$30 per SF of market-rate residential living area, as summarized in Table 8.

E. Conclusions
Table 10 provides a summary of the economic impact of a potential 5% increase to the City’s
inclusionary set-aside requirement.
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 126 of 163
Table 10: Economic Impact of Increasing Inclusionary Requirement from
15% to 20%
Citywide Village/Barrio
Impact on Residual Land Value -7.4% -8.9%
As shown above, the impact of increasing the inclusionary requirement from 15% to 20% was estimated
to reduce residual land value for residential projects by an average of -7.4% Citywide and -8.9% in the
Village/Barrio. KMA surveyed land sales that occurred Citywide, in the Village/Barrio, and areas
adjacent to the Village/Barrio since 2015. Over time, land values in San Diego County have increased 4%
to 5% per year. On this basis, then, it is reasonable to assume that an impact of -7.4% to -8.9% could be
absorbed in a period of two to three years.
KMA also prepared estimates of potential in-lieu fee levels in the event that the City increases the
inclusionary requirement to 20%. These estimated ranges were based on the two approaches to setting
fee levels (on-site vs. off-site production) described in detail in Sections III and IV of this report. Based
on these in-lieu fee financial analyses, should the City establish a 20% Low Income inclusionary
requirement, it may wish to consider a potential in-lieu fee between $20 and $30 per SF of market-rate
residential living area Citywide and a potential fee level between $30 and $40 per SF of market-rate
residential living area in the Village/Barrio. These findings are summarized in Table 11 below.

When housing prices spiked in the 1990s, many cities
looked for ways to help make housing more affordable.
One such tool that many jurisdictions implemented was
INCLUSIONARY HOUSING REGULATIONS. Under these laws,
developers are required to set aside a certain number of
units within their residential development project and
make them affordable to lower income households.
As part of their inclusionary housing program, many
cities also included provisions that allow developers to
deviate from the strict adherence of the policy, so long
as it is found that the alternative means of compliance
meets the intent of the jurisdiction’s inclusionary
housing policies, and is consistent with the housing
affordability and fair housing choice goals specified in its
long-range housing plan.
This Info-Bulletin provides an overview of Carlsbad’s
Inclusionary Housing Program and describes how it helps
address affordable housing needs while advancing
equitable development goals consistent with the city’s
adopted Housing Element.
NEED FOR INCLUSIONARY HOUSING
The state faces a serious housing problem that not only
threatens its economic security, the lack of access to
affordable housing can have a direct impact upon the
health, safety, diversity, and welfare of Carlsbad
residents. To retain a healthy livable environment and
meet state mandated housing goals, more needs to be
done to accommodate locally available and affordable
housing stock. Unfortunately, no single housing program
will be enough to meet the housing demand.
However, one of the many ways the city is combating the
detrimental effects of the housing crisis is through its
Inclusionary Housing Program; a powerful tool that
meets economic development and workforce housing
needs, without requiring a public subsidy.
From 1995 to 2020, the city produced 19,026 housing
units, of which roughly 13% were made affordable
through the inclusionary housing program. Should the
inclusionary program continue, it is anticipated that the
city could generate over 500 affordable units over the
next eight-year period.
HOUSEHOLD INCOME & AFFORDABILITY
We hear this a lot --- How do we make housing more
affordable? The term “affordable housing” can be used
to describe housing that receives some form of
subsidy/restriction that forcibly keeps rents and
mortgages low. It can also mean housing that’s naturally
affordable simply because of market supply and demand.
In order to make a meaningful difference in providing
affordable housing, the solution should not be looked at
as an “either-or” approach between privately produced
housing and subsidized housing…it requires both.
To help understand what qualifies as affordable, the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
establishes income ranges for different household types,
which they have grouped into five “income categories:”
extremely low, very low, low, moderate and above-
moderate household income. The household income for
each of these categories is based on a percentage of the
region’s Area Median Income or AMI.
Carlsbad falls within the San Diego County region, which
has an AMI of $95,100 per year for a four-person
household. In comparison, the city’s actual median
income is closer to $108,000, but under state law the city
must use the county AMI. To help illustrate, the

following table shows the income levels for a family of
four.
Income Category % of AMI Household Income1,2
Extremely Low <30% <$28,500
Very Low 30 - 50% $28,500 - $47,600
Low 51 - 80% $47,600 - $76,000
Moderate 81 - 120% $77,000 - $114,100
Above Moderate >120% >114,100
1 AMI as of April 2021 was $95,100 for family of four; 2 Figures rounded.
For housing costs to be considered affordable, a family’s
monthly rent/mortgage payment should not exceed 30%
of the gross annual household income of any given
income category. So, a low-income family of four with a
gross annual income of $55,000 should pay no more
than $1,375 per month for housing.
For a rental unit, total housing costs include the monthly
rent payment as well as consideration for a utility
allowance. With for-sale units, total housing costs
include the mortgage payment, homeowner association
dues, property taxes, mortgage insurance and any other
related assessments.
INCLUSIONARY HOUSING REQUIREMENTS
The city’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance (CMC §21.85)
was passed by the City Council in 1993, and established
the legal basis for requiring inclusionary housing in new
residential development in the city. The following
provides a summary of key standards required under the
ordinance for new residential development in the city.
Number of units required
• When calculating, fractional units ≥0.5 must be
rounded up to the next whole number.
• Inclusionary unit requirements
apply to all residential development projects (rental
or for-sale product), including mixed-use projects.
• Residential development projects proposing seven
or more housing units are required to provide at
least 15% of the total units to be restricted for low-
income households. Refer to Alternative #1 for
projects proposing six or fewer units.
Example: An applicant proposes to satisfy its inclusionary
requirements for a 112-unit residential development by
reserving 15% of the units for low-income households, or
17 units (112 X 0.15 = 16.8, rounded up to 17). The
remaining 95 units (112 units minus 17) may be sold at
market rate.
Duration units protected
• Inclusionary rental units shall remain restricted and
affordable to the designated income group for not
less than 55 years.
• Inclusionary for-sale units shall remain restricted and
affordable to the designated income group for not
less than 30 years.
Development standards
• Inclusionary units should be located throughout the
development rather than clustered in one area.
• The inclusionary units must be indistinguishable
from the market-rate units in the development, at
least outwardly.
• The inclusionary units must be constructed prior to
or concurrent with development of the market-rate
units, and prior to final building permit approval of
the market-rate unit.
• Residents of the inclusionary units must have access
to the same amenities – such as pool, fitness center
and parking – as residents of the market-rate units.
• The inclusionary units must include a similar mix and
number of bedrooms as the market-rate units.
• When ten or more inclusionary units are required, at
least ten percent of those required units must
provide at least three bedrooms.
• To the extent possible, projects using for-sale units to
satisfy inclusionary requirements shall be designed to
be compatible with conventional mortgage financing
programs.

ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF COMPLIANCE
The city understands that various constraints may
frustrate a developer’s ability to meet the strict letter of
the city’s inclusionary housing regulations. As such, the
ordinance allows for the City Council to authorize
“alternative means of compliance” when it is found that
the alternative meets the intent of the city’s inclusionary
housing ordinance and the goals and policies of the city’s
Housing Element. Council Policy Statement #57 provides
those alternatives that have been found to meet the
intent of the city inclusionary code and help address its
affordable housing needs. These alternative means of
compliance are summarized in the sections below, but
please refer to policy #57 for the specific requirements.
Alternative #1: Payment of in-lieu fee
Rather than constructing the inclusionary unit as part of
the development project, applicants proposing ≤six units
may instead pay a fee.
• $8,529 for a new single-family detached home
• $15 per square foot of net building area for each
proposed market-rate unit.
“Net building area” means the aggregate gross floor area
of all the unrestricted dwelling units within a
development, excluding areas outside the dwelling unit’s
habitable space such as garages, carports, parking areas,
porches, patios, open space, and excluding common
areas such as lobbies, common hallways, stairways,
elevators and equipment spaces.
Collected in-lieu fees are deposited into
the city’s Housing Trust Fund, and applied towards the
furthering of the city’s affordable housing needs
pursuant to Council Policy No. 90.
Alternative #2: Varying housing affordability
levels
In addition to providing more housing available for low
income families, the city also recognizes a need to
increase housing stock for other targeted and needed
housing affordability levels such as moderate, very low-
and extremely low-income households. As such, so long
as the total average gross income restriction for the
required inclusionary units does not exceed 80% of the
AMI, the makeup of the inclusionary units can be
comprised on any combination of income categories.
Alternative #3: Increases in residential density
Sometimes there is a request to increase a property’s
residential density above what is authorized under the
city’s current land use plans. Whenever this occurs, the
following additional inclusionary housing requirements
shall apply.
• At least 20% of the total residential units are
restricted for low-income households; or,
• A least 15% of the total residential units are
restricted for low-income households and an
additional 10% are restricted for moderate-income
households; or,
• At least 15% of the total residential units are
restricted for very low-income households.
These requirements have been applied to properties that
received an increase in residential density as part of the
2015 General Plan update and the 2021-29 Housing
Element.
Alternative #4: Reduction credit
A residential development can reduce its inclusionary
housing obligations from 15% to 12.5%, under the
following conditions.
Example: “A 78-unit residential development is
proposed, which requires that 15% of the units be
reserved for low-income (12 units). If the developer
voluntarily agrees to make inclusionary units available to
very low-income households, then the developer may
receive an incentive reduction credit. Under this
scenario, 10 units in a 78-unit development projects
equates to 12.8%, which meets the minimum
inclusionary housing requirement.
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 160 of 163
• All affordable units must be made available to very
low- or extremely low-income households.
• The units are located on the same site as the market-
rate units.
• No financial assistance from the city is required.
Alternative #5: Use of accessory dwelling units
Pursuant to CMC §21.85.070.B, construction of up to 15
accessory dwelling units (ADU) can be used to satisfy
inclusionary housing requirements. Refer to the
Department’s informational bulletin CD-11 for overview
of ADUs. The standards below provide additional
specifications for when this allowance can be used.
• The project proposes ≥200 residential detached
dwelling units.
• The ADU may be an attached or detached product
type (Junior ADU prohibited) .
• The ADUs shall have an affordability term (low-
income households) of at least 30 years.
Notwithstanding the above, for projects proposing ≤six
units the in-lieu fee may be waived if a detached or
attached ADU or Junior ADU is constructed concurrent
with construction of the market-rate unit, deed
restricted for low-income households for 30-years, and
occupied by income-qualified families.
Alternative #6: Off-site construction
Circumstances may arise in which the public interest
would be better served by allowing some or all of the
required inclusionary units to be developed at an
alternative site. This is referred to as a “Combined
Inclusionary Housing Project” or “Combined Project.” To
qualify, the following requirements must be met.
• The inclusionary calculation requirements shall be
based on the total number of market-rate units to be
provided, as opposed to the total number of
residential units in the project. See example.
Example: An applicant proposes to satisfy its inclusionary
requirements for a 112-unit project by building 15% of the
units for low-income households off-site. This leaves 85%
of the units for market rate, for a total residential unit
count of 132 units (112 ÷ 0.85 = 131.8, rounded to 132).
Using the total residential unit count, the number of
inclusionary units required is 20 (132 X 0.15 = 19.8, rounded to 20).
• The decision-making authority of the permit
application may approve a Combined Project subject
to the following findings.
o Site does not propose a density bonus/increase.
o Site conditions make it physically infeasible to
accommodate inclusionary units on site.
o Significant price and product type disparities
make it financially infeasible to accommodate
the inclusionary units on site.
o There is a documented lack of capacity to deliver
affordable housing on-site.
o Off-site option provides greater feasibility and
cost effectiveness than on-site alternatives.
o Off-site option provides better access to jobs,
schools, and services than on-site alternative.
o Off-site option supports the Housing Element
affordable housing goals and policies.
Notwithstanding, the City Council shall retain final permit
approval authority, including approval of the Affordable
Housing Agreement, on any Combined Project that
requires financial assistance from the city.
Alternative #7: Housing credit purchase program
The city has and is willing to financially partner with
developers who propose to construct inclusionary
housing units in excess of the minimum inclusionary
requirement. These excess units or “credits” could then
be sold to other developers to satisfy their respective
inclusionary housing requirements. The proceeds from
the credit sales are deposited into the city’s Housing
Trust Fund and redistributed pursuant to Policy #90.
• Credit Purchase Eligibility. Projects proposing more
than seven, but no more than 50 residential units
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 161 of 163
are eligible to purchase affordable housing credits
under this program.
• Credit Price. The price for each excess unit shall be
determined by dividing the city’s financial
contribution by the total number excess
inclusionary units, subject to annual CPI
adjustments. Applicants must pay the credit price of
available credits from the oldest affordable housing
project that is located within the same city quadrant
in which the market-rate units are located, or if none
available, sites which are contiguous to the quadrant
in which the units are proposed.
• Credit Purchase Ratio – For sale units. The amount
of credits to be purchased for projects that are
comprised of for-sale units shall be based on the
following scale.
o 7-20 units: 1.0 credit/inclusionary unit
o 21-35 units: 1.5 credits/inclusionary unit
o 36-50 units: 2.0 credits/inclusionary unit
• Credit Purchase Ratio – For rent units. The amount
of credits to be purchased for projects that are
comprised of rental units shall be based on the
following scale.
o 7-20 units: 1.0 credit/inclusionary unit
o 21-35 units: 1.25 credits/inclusionary unit
o 36-50 units: 1.50 credits/inclusionary unit
• Credits Available. As of January 2022, the following
credits are available. Please contact the Housing &
Homeless Services Department for most current
information:
Name Quadrant Credits Cost
### ### ### $$$
### ### ### $$$
### ### ### $$$
### ### ### $$$
### ### ### $$$
• Credit Purchase Findings. Authority to approve a
credit purchase shall be given to the decision-making
authority of the proposed development permit so
long as the following findings are met.
o The project site is located within the same
Growth Management Plan Quadrant that the
housing credit is located, or if none available,
sites which are contiguous to the quadrant in
which the units are proposed.
o There are sufficient housing credits available to
purchase.
Other incentives not listed, but may be
considered
The City Council may approve other alternatives to
meeting its inclusionary standards when a development
project shows that is helps achieve specific Housing
Element policies and goals, and assists the city in
meeting its state housing requirements.
Such allowance shall be based on findings that new
construction would be infeasible or present
unreasonable hardship in light of such factors as project
size, site constraints, market competition, price and
product type disparity, and financial subsidies available.
Alternatives that may be considered include, but not
limited to, the following.
• Up to 50% of the required inclusionary units may be
satisfied via acquisition and rehabilitation of existing,
affordable units at the same required affordability
level.
• Construction of special needs housing projects or
programs (shelters, transitional housing, etc.) that
can accommodate the same number of tenants as
the required inclusionary units.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENTS
An Affordable Housing Agreement (AHA) is a legally
binding agreement between the developer and the city
to ensure that the inclusionary requirements of a
residential development are satisfied. CMC §21.85.140
provides the specific requirements of the AHA, but the
more significant components are listed below.
• A project condition shall be added to projects
subject to the Inclusionary Ordinance and Policy No.
57 requiring that an AHA be reviewed, approved,
Feb. 10, 2022 Item #3 Page 162 of 163
0
and recorded prior to Final Map or issuance of
building permits, whichever is first.
• Among other items, the AHA must include the
number of required inclusionary units, the unit sizes,
location, affordability tenure, required findings,
terms and conditions of affordability and unit
production schedule.
• The AHA and all relevant terms and conditions shall
be recorded against the entire development.
• The AHA shall bind all future owners and successors
in interest for the term of years specified therein.
APPROVAL AUTHORITY
The approval authority for the development project
subject to these standards is as follows:
• The decision-making authority for the underlying
permit application(s) shall have the authority to
consider and approve projects found consistent with
Policy No. 57.
• Development projects that propose an alternative
means of compliance that is not specifically provided
for in the CMC or Policy 57 shall be considered by
the Housing Commission for a recommendation to
the City Council.
• Approval authority of the Affordable Housing
Agreement is as follows:
o Affordable Housing Agreements that are
consistent with §21.85 and Policy No. 57 and do
not request financial assistance from the city
shall first be considered by the Affordable
Housing Policy Team for a recommendation to
the H&HS Director.
o Affordable Housing Agreements
that propose a deviation(s) to Policy No. 57 or
request financial assistance shall first be considered
by the Affordable Housing Policy Team and Housing
Commission for a recommendation to the City
Council, which has the authority to issue final
approval of the alternative.
