The purpose of this chapter is to:
In order to implement goals and objectives of the city of Dublin’s general plan and specific plans, and to mitigate the impacts caused by future development in the city, affordable housing units must be constructed. The City Council has determined that a nonresidential development affordable housing impact fee is needed in order to finance affordable housing at income levels affordable to the workforce for such nonresidential developments, and to pay for each nonresidential developer’s fair share of the construction and acquisition costs of such affordable housing. In establishing the fee described in the following sections, the City Council has found the fee to be consistent with its general plan and specific plans and, pursuant to Government Code Section 65913.2, has considered the effects of the fee with respect to the City’s housing needs as established in the housing element of the general plan. The goal of this chapter is to impose a fee on new nonresidential development that funds or partially funds the need for affordable housing created by the workforce of this new development.
(Ord. 12-05 § 2 (part))
A. 
A nonresidential development affordable housing fee (“fee”) is established to pay for housing affordable to households of very low, low and moderate income.
B. 
The City Council shall, in a Council resolution adopted after a duly noticed public hearing, from time to time set forth the amount of the fee, identify the purpose of the fee and the use to which the fee is to be put, and determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the fee’s use and the need for affordable housing and determine how there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the affordable housing.
(Ord. 12-05 § 2 (part))
The revenues raised by payment of the nonresidential development affordable housing impact fee shall be accounted for in the city’s affordable housing fund. Separate and special accounts within the fund shall be used to account for revenues, along with any interest earnings on such account. These monies shall be used solely to increase the supply of housing affordable to households of very low, low and moderate income.
