In-Lieu Fee Structure: fixed per-unit fee
While the Regulations require that 12.5% of the units in the project be Inclusionary Units, they permit the developer to meet 40% of this obligation by paying a fee in-lieu of construction. Thus, there is a "must-build" requirement of 7.5% of the units in the project, and the obligation with respect to the remaining 5% may be satisfied by the payment of a fee in-lieu of construction.
The amount of the in-lieu fee is set by resolution of the City Council. Resolution No. 56-02 establishes that the in-lieu fee per unit is adjusted annually on July 1 to reflect the greater of the percentage change either in a) the Bay Area Urban Consumer Price Index (CPI) as of March of each year, or b) the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Fair Market Rent limits for the Oakland Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area (PMSA) that are in effect at the time. The fee as of July 1, 2004 is $82,466 per Inclusionary Unit.
THE ENTIRE IN-LIEU FEE AMOUNT FOR THE PROJECT IS DUE AND PAYABLE AT ISSUANCE OF FIRST BUILDING PERMIT IN THE PROJECT.

Other Notes
In addition, the Inclusionary Zoning Regulations require that Inclusionary Units: Be constructed concurrently with the market-rate units in the project; Have a similar range of bedrooms to the market-rate units in the project; Not be distinguished by design or materials from the market-rate units in the project;Be reasonably dispersed throughout the project.
If the development proposes for-sale units, it is required that the developer ensure that the purchaser of an Inclusionary Unit execute a resale agreement.
After being screened for initial eligibility based on household income and household size, applicant households shall be ranked and sorted based on the number of points the applicant receives under the priorities set forth in the Regulations at Section 8.68.050.D.
The actual Inclusionary Zoning Obligations will be formalized in an Affordable Housing Agreement (AHA) between the City and the Developer, prior to recordation of a final map for the development.
The Inclusionary Ordinance (Section 8.68.020A.2) states that the price at which the Inclusionary Units are to be offered is the price that would allow an applicant in the pertinent category to pay no more than 35% of their income toward housing expenses. This requires that each and every qualified buyer pay no more than 35% of his or her individual household income toward housing expenses. The only exception is very-low income applicants.
