Other Notes
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. Upon receiving a written request for a determination of infeasibility, the city clerk shall
transmit the request to the city manager to determine whether it complies with this section. The city
council may make a determination of feasibility or infeasibility. If the city council makes a
determination of infeasibility, it shall specify which of the alternatives set forth in EMC 17.50.060(B)
shall apply to the project. (Ord. 495 § 1, 2005)
Multifamily Rental Inclusionary Units. Any person who rents a multifamily rental inclusionary
unit shall occupy that unit as his or her principal residence and shall report any changes in income
immediately to the owner of the unit. (Ord. 495 § 1, 2005).
In allocating available affordable housing units, the city shall give priority to those individuals
who currently live within the city and have lived in the city for the past two years, have lived in the
city for five of the last 10 years, currently work within the city, and/or currently work as a full-time
police officer, firefighter, or EMTP in the city.
17.50.120 Violation.
