In-Lieu Fee Structure: formula
In-Lieu Fees. For Residential Developments of nine (9) or fewer units, including Inclusionary Units, the requirements of this section may be satisfied by paying an In-Lieu Fee. The fee will be set by the City Council by resolution and shall be sufficient to make up the gap between (i) the amount of development capital typically expected to be available based on the amount to be received by a developer or owner from Affordable Housing Cost or Affordable Rent, and (ii) the anticipated cost of constructing the Inclusionary Units. Fees shall be paid upon issuance of building permits for Market-Rate Units in a Residential Development. If building permits are issued for only part of a Residential Development, the fee amount shall be based only on the number of units then permitted.
