POLICIES AND ACTIONS PROGRESS Action 53.03-C: In-Lieu Fees for Affordable Housing Establish an official City policy on the payment of in-lieu fees as an alternative to meeting the City or Redevelopment Project Area inclusionary housing requirements on-site. While the City encourages inclusionary units to be provided on-site, this may not be feasible in all instances (for instance, when the project contains fewer than 10 units). Formal criteria or findings for allowing in-lieu fees should be established and a consistent formula or method for determining the fees should be developed. Policy 53.04 SITE ASSEMBLY IN REDEVELOPMENT AREAS Actively work with willing property owners to assemble underutilized parcels within redevelopment project areas to create more viable sites for future housing development. City staff typically looks at the potential for and actively encourages the possibility of site assembly when reviewing development proposals. Policy 53.05 NEW RENTAL HOUSING Strongly encourage the development of additional rental housing in the City, including both market rate units and affordable units. The City encourages new rental housing of all types to meet San Leandro's diverse housing needs such as recently completed Broadmoor Plaza and Fuller Gardens projects described below in Action 53.05-A (Also see Highlights). Action 53.05 - B: The City recently issued an RFQ to experienced nonprofit housing developers to help manage and possibly develop affordable housing at the Islander Motel (See Highlights section). Action 53.05 - C: The sites discussed in 53.05-C were included in the Feb. 2001 Redevelopment Plan Amendment for the Plaza Project Area and now allow mixed use projects including higher density residential uses. The Plaza land use designations are consistent with the General Plan (See Highlights section). Year 2004 Annual Housing Progress Report 18 City Of San Leandro
