Inclusionary Housing Program Set-Aside Rate and In-Lieu Fees
Summary
The city reviewed a consultant study recommending raising the inclusionary housing set-aside requirement from 4% to 15%. Commissioners and residents pushed back, arguing that a 15% requirement and high in-lieu fees would harm project feasibility and halt local infill housing. The commission voted to keep the rate at 4% while urging the council to update outdated in-lieu fees and study a tiered approach.
