Feasibility. 1. Full compliance with this chapter shall be presumed to be feasible unless the city council expressly determines otherwise in accordance with this section. Any developer seeking a determination of infeasibility shall file with the city clerk a written request for such a determination no later than the date on which the developer files its application for its first discretionary approval by the city or the time of application for a building permit, whichever is earlier. 2. All such requests shall be accompanied by a description of the project, a detailed explanation why it is infeasible to provide inclusionary units within the residential project, and any other information the city manager or his or her designee deems necessary or relevant to enable the city council to make a reasoned determination. Failure to provide such information with the original request for a determination of infeasibility shall be deemed a waiver by the developer of any right to dispute feasibility. 3.
