Developments consisting of seven units or more must develop the BMR units on-site using the standards set forth in this procedural manual. 2.02.04 In-Lieu Fee Developers shall pay a fee as determined by the City Council for developments of one to six units. The fee will be assessed on a per square foot basis (inclusive of garages) on all new development and be adjusted annually using the Consumer Price Index (all items for the San Francisco Bay Area). For the purposes of assessing the fee, new development shall be defined as development on an existing vacant lot or redevelopment of a lot where an existing housing unit has been demolished.

The in-lieu fee shall be paid prior to the issuance of any construction permits and prior to the commencement of any work on the site. The options for use of the fee include, but are not limited to, the following: a. Development of new affordable units b. Conversion of existing market rate units to affordable units c.
