What was decided

The joint Planning Commission and City Council Ordinance Committee working group reviewed inclusionary zoning (IZ) Proposals 3 through 7. The group favored requiring on-site IZ units for large projects, agreed to keep the $80,000 payment-in-lieu base fee with automatic yearly adjustments, and lowered the threshold for mixed-tenure IZ units from 200 to 75 units. No consensus was reached on Proposal 7 regarding home ownership opportunities at 100% AMI, and staff was told to keep studying it. Two public forums were held where residents commented on IZ thresholds, fees, and homeownership opportunities.
