(Ord. 99-025 § 212.2, 1999) 3.32.030 Inclusionary requirements for new or rehabilitated dwelling units within the project area. At least thirty percent (30%) of all new and substantially rehabilitated dwelling units developed by the agency shall be available at affordable housing cost to persons and families of low or moderate income. Not less than fifty percent (50%) of the dwelling units required to be available at affordable housing cost to persons and families of low or moderate income shall be available at affordable housing cost to, and occupied by, very low income households. At least fifteen percent (15%) of all new and substantially rehabilitated dwelling units developed within the project area by public or private entities or persons other than the agency shall be available at affordable hous- ing cost to persons and families of low or moderate income. Not less than forty per- cent (40%) of the dwelling units required to be available at affordable housing cost to persons and families of low or moderate in- come shall be available at affordable hous- ing cost to very low-income households. To satisfy these inclusionary require- ments, the agency may cause, by regulation or agreement, to be available at affordable housing costs to persons and families of low or moderate income or to very low-income households, as applicable, two units outside the project area for each unit that otherwise would have had to be available inside the, project area. The agency may also aggregate 919 lMI19111 new or substantially rehabilitated dwelling units in one or more project areas, provided that the agency finds, based on substantial evidence, after a public hearing, that the ag- gregation will not cause or exacerbate racial, ethnic, or economic segregation. As an alternative means of meeting these inclusionary requirements, the agency may purchase or otherwise acquire or cause by regulation or agreement the purchase or oth- er acquisition of, long-term affordability covenants on multifamily units that restrict the cost of renting or purchasing those units. To be eligible, the units must be multifamily units that either: (1) are not presently availa- ble at affordable housing cost to persons and families of low or very low-income house- holds, as applicable; or (2) are units that are presently available at affordable housing cost to this same group of persons or fami- lies, but are units that the agency finds, based upon substantial evidence, after a pub- lic hearing, cannot reasonably be expected to remain affordable to this same group of persons or families. The agency shall require the affordability covenants to be maintained on dwelling units at affordable housing cost for not less than thirty (30) years. The agency may not use affordability covenants to provide more than fifty percent (50%) of the affordable housing units to be made available. Not less than fifty percent (50%) of the units made available through the use of long-term affordability covenants shall be available at affordable housing cost to, and occupied by, very low-income households. These inclusionary requirements apply independently of the requirements for re- placement housing. Inclusionary Housing Plan.
