In-Lieu Fee Structure: fixed per-unit fee
A. Whenever the city requires as a condition of approval of a market-rate housing development that the development include units, the first priority will be to provide units on-site. Where provision of affordable units onsite is determined to be economically infeasible, off-site mitigation is the preferred alternative to paying an in-lieu fee. If neither on-site or off-site mitigation is feasible, the planning commission may grant the developer the option of paying a fee to the city in lieu of providing such on-site or off-site units in accordance with the provisions of this section. For any such project that received final discretionary approval of density prior to the effective date of this section the developer shall have the option of providing the required units on-site, off-site, or paying the applicable in-lieu fee without further consideration by the planning commission. In the event that amendments would have the effect of changing the number of residential units to be constructed, the foregoing exception shall not apply and the planning commission shall consider the provision of units. B. The amount of the fee pursuant to this section shall be determined as follows: a) Single-family, condominium and townhome developments--six thousand two hundred seventy-seven dollars ($6,277.00) per unit for all project units; and b) Apartments--four thousand five hundred forty-one dollars ($4,541.00) for all project units. C. Any fee required pursuant to section 9133.4 shall be adjusted for inflation by the percentage change in the consumer price index (CPI) between the date of adoption of this chapter through the month in which payment is made. E. The in-lieu fees collected shall be deposited in an affordable housing trust fund to be used exclusively for the development or maintenance of housing affordable to low- to moderate-income households. F. This section shall not apply to any housing development in which a density bonus has been given.

Other Notes
For rental housing, affordable housing cost shall not exceed thirty (30) percent of ninety (90) percent of area median income adjusted for family size appropriate for the unit. For ownership housing, affordable housing cost shall not exceed thirty-five (35) percent of ninety (90) percent of the area median income adjusted for family size appropriate for the unit. The city shall on an annual basis set the maximum allowable rents and sales prices for units, adjusted by the number of bedrooms. All affordable units shall be reasonably dispersed throughout the project unless approval for an off-site location has been granted. The affordable units shall contain on the average the same number of bedrooms as the market rate units in the project. The materials and finished quality of the affordable units shall be comparable with the market rate units.
