ATTACHMENT 1
III E. Require that ten (10) percent of the units in multi-family
projects with more than 10 units be rented for a period of five years
or that a flat'in-lieu rental fee be paid for every rental unit that
would be determined by the City Council in the form of a resolution at
least every two years and would be increased annually during the years
that the City Council does not determine the in-lieu rental fee by an
amount equal to the rental rate increase used by the City Council in
determining the current in-lieu rental fee.
The difficulties of first-time home buying make rental units the only
affordable housing for many households that do not have the assets to
make a down-payment on a home. Other households may choose to rent
for other reasons.
Policy Objective: Insure availability of rental units in Dublin.
Action Needed:
Require that a minimum of 10% of the units in
multi-family projects with more than 10 units be
maintained as rental units for a period of five
years or that in-lieu rental fees be required that
would be determined as set forth above.
Financing:
No cost to City.
Implementation
Responsibility:
Planning Department, Planning Commission and City
Council.
Time Frame:
Ongoing Implementation
