(Ord. 5310, 2004; Ord. 5380, 2005; Ord. 5488, 2009)
Inclusionary Units built under this chapter must conform to the following standards:
A. 
Design. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, Inclusionary Units must be dispersed evenly throughout a Residential Development and must be comparable in construction quality and exterior design to the Market-Rate Units constructed as part of the Development. Inclusionary Units may be smaller in aggregate size and may have different interior finishes and features than Market-Rate Units so long as the interior features are durable, of good quality and consistent with contemporary standards for new housing.
B. 
Size. The average number of bedrooms in the Inclusionary Units must equal or exceed the average number of bedrooms in the Market-Rate Units of the Development. Absent a waiver from the Community Development Director, two-bedroom Inclusionary Units shall generally have at least one and one-half bathrooms, and three-bedroom Inclusionary Units shall generally have at least two bathrooms. However, the required number of bathrooms shall not be greater than the number of bathrooms in the Market-Rate Units. The minimum Unit Size of each Inclusionary Unit shall be in conformance with the City's Affordable Housing Policies and Procedures.
C. 
Timing of Construction. All Inclusionary Units must be constructed and occupied concurrently with or prior to the construction and occupancy of Market-Rate Units of the Development. In phased developments, Inclusionary Units may be constructed and occupied in proportion to the number of units in each phase of the Residential Development.
D. 
Duration of Affordability Requirement. Inclusionary Units produced under this chapter must be legally restricted to occupancy by Households of the income levels for which the units were designated pursuant to and in conformance with the City's Affordable Housing Policies and Procedures.
(Ord. 5310, 2004)
A. 
Payment of in-lieu fee to city. The requirements of this chapter may also be satisfied by paying an in-lieu fee to the City for deposit into the City's Affordable Housing Inclusionary Fund as such fund is provided for in Section 28.43.130.
B. 
Calculation of in-lieu fee. The in-lieu fee for each required Inclusionary Unit that is not constructed on-site will be calculated as of the date of Planning Commission final approval in a manner sufficient to make up the monetary difference between the following: 1. the Estimated Production Cost of a two-bedroom condominium unit in the City as defined in this section, and 2. the price of a two-bedroom dwelling unit affordable to a Low-Income Household calculated according to the procedure specified in the City's Affordable Housing Policies and Procedures for a two-bedroom unit. The target income for this calculation shall be 70% of Area Median Income, and the housing-cost-to-income ratio for this calculation shall be 30%. The Estimated Production Cost shall be deemed to be the median sale price of two-bedroom condominium units in the City less a 15% adjustment to reflect an Applicant/Developer's anticipated profit. The median sale price of two-bedroom condominium units in the City shall be established by the City Council, based on data provided by the Santa Barbara Association of Realtors or other source selected by the City Council, for sales during the four most recent calendar quarters prior to the calculation. The City Council may annually review the median sale price of two-bedroom condominium units in the City, and may, based on that review, adjust the in-lieu fee amount.
As of the date of the adoption of this chapter, the median sale price of two-bedroom condominium units in the City for the four most recent calendar quarters was $500,000, the Estimated Production Cost was $425,000, the Area Median Income was $64,700, the price of a two-bedroom dwelling unit affordable to a Low-Income Household was $115,000, and the in-lieu fee based on the above calculation was $310,000.
C. 
Prorating. If the calculation for the required number of Inclusionary Units as provided in Section 28.43.030 results in a fraction of a unit, the amount of in-lieu fee for such fractional unit shall be prorated.
D. 
Reduction of in-lieu fee for smaller units. For Residential Developments, the amount of the in-lieu fee shall be reduced where the average Unit Size of the Market-Rate Units is less than 1700 square feet, according to the following:
1. 
If the average Unit Size of the Market-Rate Units is between 1,400 and 1,699 square feet, the in-lieu fee shall be reduced by 15%.
2. 
If the average Unit Size of the Market-Rate Units is between 1,100 and 1,399 square feet, the in-lieu fee shall be reduced by 20%.
3. 
If the average Unit Size of the Market-Rate Units is between 800 and 1,099 square feet, the in-lieu fee shall be reduced by 25%.
4. 
If the average Unit Size of the Market-Rate Units is below 800 square feet, the in-lieu fee shall be reduced by 30%.
E. 
Timing of payment of in-lieu fee. The timing of payment of the in-lieu fee varies according to the type of development and the number of units to be developed, as follows:
1. 
New Construction of Five or More Units. For new construction of five or more dwelling units, the in-lieu fee shall be paid prior to the issuance of a building permit for the Development; for phased-construction developments, payment of the applicable in-lieu fees shall be made for each portion of the Development prior to the issuance of a building permit for that phase of the Development. In the event that the Applicant/Developer intends to pay the in-lieu fee from proceeds of a bank construction loan, and such bank requires the issuance of a building permit prior to funding the construction loan, the Applicant/Developer may request that the Community Development Director issue the building permit prior to payment of the fee. The Community Development Director may approve such request provided the Applicant/Developer agrees in writing that the fee will be paid within 10 days after the issuance of the building permit, and further agrees that the building permit will be deemed revoked by the City and work undertaken pursuant to the building permit stopped if the in-lieu fee is not paid within such 10-day period.
2. 
Condominium Conversions. For condominium conversions, payment of the in-lieu fee shall be made prior to recordation of the Final Subdivision Map.
3. 
Residential Lot Subdivisions. For Residential Lot Subdivisions, payment of the in-lieu fee shall be made prior to recordation of the Final Subdivision Map.
4. 
Residential Developments of Four Units or Less. For Residential Developments of four units or less which are subject to this chapter and which elect to pay an in-lieu fee under the requirements of this chapter, the in-lieu fees shall be paid to the City prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy by the Chief Building Official of the City.
F. 
Delayed payment. When payment is delayed, in the event of default, or for any other reason, the amount of the in-lieu fee payable under this section will be based upon the greater of the fee schedule in effect at the time the fee is paid or the fee schedule in effect at the time of Planning Commission approval.
(Ord. 5310, 2004; Ord. 5488, 2009)
A. 
Alternative methods of compliance - applicant proposals. An Applicant, at the Applicant's option, may propose an alternative means of compliance with this chapter by submitting to the City an Inclusionary Housing Plan prepared in accordance with the following alternative compliance provisions:
1. 
Off-Site Construction. All or some of the required Inclusionary Units may be constructed off-site if the Planning Commission (or the City Council on appeal) finds that the combination of location, unit size, unit type, pricing, and timing of availability of the proposed off-site Inclusionary Units would provide equivalent or greater benefit than would result from providing those Inclusionary Units on-site as might otherwise be required by this chapter. Prior to the recordation of the Final Subdivision Map for the Residential Development subject to the inclusionary requirements of this chapter, the Applicant shall post a bond, bank letter of credit, or other security acceptable to the Community Development Director, in the amount of the in-lieu fee per Section 28.43.070, which the City may call and may deposit in the Affordable Housing Inclusionary Fund and may spend in accordance with the terms of that Fund in the event that the off-site inclusionary units are not completed (as evidenced by the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for such units) according to the schedule stated in the Inclusionary Housing Plan submitted by the Applicant and prior to the completion and occupancy of the Residential Development.
2. 
Dedication of Land For Affordable Housing Purposes. In lieu of building Inclusionary Units on or off-site or the payment of in-lieu fees, an Applicant may choose to dedicate land to the City [or a City-designated non-profit housing developer] under circumstances where the land is suitable for the construction of Inclusionary Units and under circumstances which the Planning Commission (or the City Council on appeal) reasonably has determined to be of equivalent or greater value than would be produced by applying the City's current in-lieu fee to the Applicant's inclusionary housing obligation.
3. 
Combination of Approaches. The Planning Commission (or the City Council on appeal) may accept any combination of on-site construction, off-site construction, in-lieu fees and land dedication which, in the Planning Commission's or City Council's determination, would provide equivalent or greater benefit than that which might result from providing Inclusionary Units on-site.
B. 
Discretion of Planning Commission or City Council. The Planning Commission (or the City Council on appeal) may approve, conditionally approve or reject any alternative proposed by an Applicant as part of an Affordable Housing Plan. Any approval or conditional approval must be based on a finding that the purposes of this chapter would be better served by implementation of the proposed alternative. In determining whether the purposes of this chapter would be better served under the proposed alternative, the Planning Commission (or the City Council on appeal) should consider the extent to which other factors affect the feasibility of prompt construction of the Inclusionary Housing Units, such as site design, zoning, infrastructure, clear title, grading and environmental review.
(Ord. 5310, 2004)
A. 
Generally. The submittal of an Inclusionary Housing Plan and recordation of an approved City affordability control covenant shall be a pre-condition on the City approval of any Final Subdivision Map, and no building permit shall be issued for any Development to which this chapter applies without full compliance with the provision of this section. This section shall not apply to exempt projects or to projects where the requirements of the Chapter are satisfied by payment of an in-lieu fee under Section 28.43.070.
B. 
Inclusionary housing plan. Every residential development to which this chapter applies shall include an Inclusionary Housing Plan as part of the application submittal for either development plan approval or subdivision approval. No application for a tentative map, subdivision map, or building permit for a development to which this chapter applies may be deemed complete until an Inclusionary Housing Plan is submitted to and approved by the Community Development Director as being complete. At any time during the formal development review process, the Community Development Director may require from the Applicant additional information reasonably necessary to clarify and supplement the application or determine the consistency of the Project's proposed Inclusionary Housing Plan with the requirements of this chapter.
C. 
Required plan elements. An Inclusionary Housing Plan must include the following elements or submittal requirements:
1. 
The number, location, structure (attached, semi-attached, or detached), and size of the proposed Market-Rate and Inclusionary Units and the basis for calculating the number of Inclusionary Units;
2. 
A floor or site plan depicting the location of the Inclusionary Units and the Market-Rate Units;
3. 
The income levels to which each Inclusionary Unit will be made affordable;

8. 
Any other information reasonably requested by the Community Development Director to assist with evaluation of the Plan under the standards of this chapter.
D. 
Affordability control covenants. Prior to issuance of a grading permit or building permit, whichever is requested first, a standard City affordability control covenant must be approved and executed by the Community Development Director, executed by the Applicant/Owners, and recorded against the title of each Inclusionary Unit. If subdivision into individual property parcels has not been finalized at the time of issuance of a grading permit or building permit, an overall interim affordability control covenant shall be recorded against the Residential Development, and shall be replaced by separate recorded affordability control covenants for each unit prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy by the City for such units.
(Ord. 5310, 2004)
A. 
General eligibility for inclusionary units. No Household may purchase or occupy an Inclusionary Unit unless the City has approved the Household's eligibility, and the Household and City have executed and recorded an affordability control covenant in the chain of title of the Inclusionary Unit. Such affordability control covenant is in addition to the covenant required in Section 28.43.090 above. The eligibility of the purchasing household shall be established in accordance with the City's Affordable Housing Policies and Procedures and any additional eligibility requirements agreed upon in writing by the Applicant and the City.
B. 
Owner occupancy. A Household which purchases an Inclusionary Unit must occupy that unit as a principal residence, as that term is defined for federal tax purposes by the United States Internal Revenue Code.
