<br />Ordinance No. NS-XXX <br />Page 7 of 14 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Section 8. Section 41-1904 of Chapter 41 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code is <br />hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: <br /> <br /> Sec. 41-1904. - Options to satisfy inclusionary requirements. <br /> <br /> (a) On-site units. The primary means of complying with the inclusionary <br />requirements of this article shall be the provision of on-site inclusionary units in <br />accordance with section 41-1902 above. A developer may only satisfy the requirements <br />of this article by means of an alternative to on-site inclusionary units in accordance with <br />the requirements and procedures of this section. <br /> <br /> (b) Off-site units. <br /> <br /> 1. New units. The developer may satisfy the inclusionary unit <br />requirements for the project, in whole or in part by constructing the required new <br />inclusionary housing at a different location within the city borders at the ratio of one <br />square foot of habitable inclusionary unit space for each required habitable square foot. <br />While the total habitable square footage area of the required new inclusionary units <br />must be the same as the sum-total of the number of habitable square feet for the project <br />as directed by this ordinance, the number of units and bedrooms associated with the <br />off-site units may be approved by the review authority of the city, consistent with the <br />type of affordable housing needed at the time of project review. <br /> <br /> 2. Rehabilitated units outside a designated target area. The developer <br />may satisfy the inclusionary unit requirements for the project, in whole or in part by <br />substantially rehabilitating existing housing units elsewhere within the borders of the city <br />at a rate of one and one-half (1½) habitable square feet per each required habitable <br />square foot of inclusionary units. <br /> <br /> 3. Rehabilitated units within a designated target area. Upon application, <br />the developer may satisfy the inclusionary unit requirements for the project, in whole or <br />in part by substantially rehabilitating existing housing units elsewhere within the borders <br />of the city at a rate of one habitable square foot per each required habitable square foot <br />of affordable inclusionary units. <br /> <br /> (c) In-lieu fee. <br /> <br /> (1) Five (5) or more units. For a residential project comprised of five (5) <br />or more residential lots or residential units, the developer may elect to satisfy the <br />inclusionary unit requirements for the project, in whole or in part, by payment of a fee in- <br />lieu of constructing some or all of the required units. The total amount of the fee allowed <br />by this section shall be calculated using the In-Lieu Fee Schedule as shown below in <br />section 41-1904(c)(1)(i) multiplied by the sum total of the number of habitable square <br />feet within the entire project, as measured from the exterior walls of the residential units.
