ITEM TITLE: RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA ADOPTING GUIDELINES TO THE
BALANCED COMMUNITIES ("INCLUSIONARY") POLICY
SUBMITTED BY: ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER/DIRECTOR OF
DEVELOPMENT SE CES
REVIEWED BY: CITY MANAGER
4/STNS VOTE: YES ~ NO
SUMMARY
In 1981, the City of Chula Vista adopted a Balanced Communities Policy, commonly
referred to as Inclusionary Housing. Staff is bringing forward Guidelines to the Balanced
Communities Policy in order to implement the Policy with consistency and provide
mechanisms to adapt to changing market conditions.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Director of Development Services has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance
with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the
activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines
because the proposed activity consists of a governmental administrative action that will
not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Therefore, pursuant to
Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is noC subject to CEQA.
Thus, no environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
On August 29`h the Housing Advisory Commission (HAC) recommended that the City
Council adopt staff's recommendation (5-0-1) to adopt the implementing guidelines to
the Inclusionary Policy.

DISCUSSION
Adopted in 1981, and currently Policy 5.1.1 in the 2005-2010 Housing Element of the
General Plan, the Balanced Communities Policy ("Policy") was established to increase
the diversity of housing prices/rents throughout the Chula Vista community and ensure
that the range of prices/rents continues over time. The Policy requires all residential
development of 50 units or more to provide 10% of the total number of dwelling units as
affordable to low (5%) and moderate (5%) income households.
In order to aid developers early in the development process in interpreting the Policy and
to address changing market conditions, staff has developed "Guidelines to the Balanced
Communities Policy" ("Guidelines"), as provided in Attachment 1. These Guidelines are
intended to supplement and support the Policy, by reflecting current market conditions
and may be updated by the Development Services Director in order to ensure the goals of
the policy are continually being met, as further described below.
Achieving a Balanced Community
Due to changing needs of our community, staff reviewed current housing options and
income levels within the city to ensure that the original intent of the Policy is still being
met. Through that data process staff determined that particular areas of the community
currently have ample options for low income families to make housing choices while
other areas of the community remain out of reach for a significant portion of the
population. This imbalance of housing options has led staff to define an "Area of
Low/Moderate Income Concentration" where the inclusionary housing requirement
would lead to further imbalance and divergence from the overall goals of the Policy. In
addition staff recognizes that there are undeveloped azeas of the community where
statistical data is not available and would require further information to determine if the
inclusionary requirements aze necessary to achieve a balance of housing options, these
are defined as "Primarily Undeveloped Area". Both azeas can be viewed in Exhibit 1 of
the attached Guidelines.
Incentivizing Housing Options & Public Benefit
Housing needs within the city aze most severely underserved for very and extremely low
income and special needs populations, currently not addressed in the Inclusionary Policy.
The Guidelines will provide incentives to developers to fulfill housing needs for these
underserved segments of our population. The Guidelines also acknowledge that these
segments of the population often need access to services and amenities that may not be
offered throughout the community and therefore would allow a Developer to fulfill the
inclusionary requirement within the "Area of Low/Moderate Income Concentration" if
findings can be made that it serves a public benefit that would otherwise not be met.
Costa-Hawkins Act
In response to State rent control laws the California appellate court decision in
Palmer/Sixth Street Properties, L.P. v. City of Los Angeles, the Chula Vista Guidelines
have been clarified to indicate that the inclusionary requirement for on-site compliance
will only apply to for-sale residential projects. If a developer, who has not received any
City assistance, is proposing a rental project they may satisfy the inclusionary obligation

through any combination of alternative methods of compliance, including voluntarily
providing restricted rental units.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is
not site specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of
Regulations section 18704.2(a)(1) is not applicable to this decision.

Guidelines to the Balanced Communities Poli
Introduction
~V(,
a~uin°vsu
Adoption
The City of Chula Vista adopted a Balanced Communities Policy ("Policy'), commonly
referred to as Inclusionary Housing, in 1981 as part of its Housing Element of the
General Plan. The City Council's purpose of the Policy is to increase the diversity of
housing prices/rents throughout the community and ensure that the range of
prices/rents continues over time.
Intent of Guidelines
The guidelines in this document are intended to supplement and support the
Inclusionary Housing Policy of Chula Vista. They will assist the layperson in interpreting
the Policy and developers early in the development process so that Residential
Development projects are designed from the beginning in compliance with the
requirements of the Policy.
Guidelines & Policy
These Guidelines should be read in conjunction with the Policy. While every effort has
been made to ensure that these Guidelines are consistent with the Policy, if there is any
conflict or discrepancy between these guidelines and the Policy, the Policy shall prevail.
In addition, the provisions of a Balanced Communities Affordable Housing Agreement
(or like Agreement) recorded against a property or Inclusionary units shall prevail over
any general requirements of the Policy. Users of these Guidelines are encouraged to
seek their own legal counsel to aid in understanding the requirements of the City's
Inclusionary Program. For any general questions regarding the Guidelines, you may call
(619) 691-5047.
Review & Updates
The City will review and, to the extent necessary, update these Guidelines in conjunction
with the City's review of its General Plan Housing Element and its Balanced Communities
Policy, or as deemed necessary.
The Development Services Director may make interim revisions, interpretations or
clarifications to these Guidelines provided that he or she considers the revision,
interpretation, or clarification to be minor and consistent with the purposes of the
original Policy and the Guidelines.

Guidelines to the Balanced Communities Policy a.;a~~
Inclusionary Requirements
Applicability
The Policy applies City wide to all residential development of 50 units or more, except as
provided below. The requirements of these Guidelines and Policy shall not be
cumulative to state or other local affordable housing requirements where those units
are subject to an affordability restriction recorded against the property by the state or
local agency. To the extent that state or local regulations are inconsistent with the
requirements herein for the amount of the fee, length of the restriction or the level of
affordability, the more restrictive shall apply.
Exemptions
In order to reach the Policy goal of creating a balanced community and not
overburdening areas of our community with low income housing concentrations, these
Guidelines define areas of the City that currently provide a large share of low income
housing options. A waiver of the inclusionary requirement will be granted within the
designated census tracts defined as the "Area of Low/Moderate Income Concentration",
as illustrated in Exhibit 1 and defined as meeting the following criteria:
• Median income falls below the City wide Median Income, as estimated by the
San Diego Association of Governments; and/or
• Within the Low to Moderate Income Boundary, as provided by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Exhibit 1 may be updated and approved periodically by the Development Services
Director to reflect current market conditions.
Variance
A Variance request from the affordable housing requirements may be approved in
"Primarily Undeveloped Area" as identified in Exhibit 1, if specific findings can be
substantiated and shall include financial and other information that the Development
Services Director determines is necessary to perform an independent evaluation of the
applicant's basis for the variance. Such findings include:
(1) Special circumstances, unique to that development, justify granting the
variance;
(2) The development would not be feasible without the modification;
2~Page
4-10
Guidelines to the Balanced Communities Pol
\1/~
nn «
~~
(3) A specific and substantial financial hardship would occur if the variance were
not granted; and
(4) No alternative means of compliance are available which would be more
effective in attaining the purposes of this Policy than the relief requested.
Calculating the Obligation
The Policy indicates that all shall provide 10% of the total number of dwelling units as
affordable to low and moderate income households, as follows:
• 5% minimum for low income households
• 5% for moderate income households
In making this calculation, any decimal fraction is neither rounded up or down. The
Developer may either provide for one additional Affordable Unit or pay a partial in-lieu
fee equal to the remaining fraction.
EXAMPLE: Calculating Obligation
1. The developer proposes a 125-unit residential project.
2. Inclusionary Housing Obligation
125 units x 0.10 = 12.5 Inclusionary Units
6.25 units as a moderate income and 6.25 units as a
low income
Incentive Credit
The City has a greater need for housing for very low and low income households. To
encourage Developer's to provide for these households, the City can in effect reduce the
required affordable housing obligation when the Developer opts to provide very low or
low income rather than for moderate income households.
Calculating Incentive Credit
The Incentive credit shall be calculated as follows:
1. 2.0 unit credit for every very low income unit in lieu of a moderate income unit.
2. 1.5 unit credit for every low income unit in lieu of a moderate income unit.
3. .5 unit credit for every very low income unit in lieu of a low income unit.

pV(/~
Guidelines to the Balanced Communities Policy a8i4~~
EXAMPLE: Calculating Incentives
The developer proposes a 125-unit residential project.
Inclusionary Housing Obligation = 12.5 Inclusionary Units
(6.25 moderate income & 6.25 low income units)
Inclusionary Housing Proposed w/Incentive Credit
10 low income units (6.25 required & 3.75 incentive credit)
4.75 low income units in lieu of moderate income
(6.25 moderate income units required /1.5 low income units = 4
low income units)
Meeting the Requirement
Affordable Housing often provides opportunities to a segment of the population or
provide a public benefit that the market might not otherwise provide on its own. The
Policy seeks to provide these opportunities while still allowing Developers to provide
market driven housing options. This balance requires flexibility and standards to be set
in order to meet the goals of the Policy and to ensure a variety of housing options are
provided. The standards and methods of compliance to meet these goals are defined
below.
Standards
A variety of factors are considered in planning Affordable Housing and meeting the
Inclusionary Requirements defined under the Policy, such as the location of the housing,
the type of housing, design and amenities. These factors are further defined below and
set standards to meet the goals while ensuring that the obligation does not negatively
affect the community.
Location
Inclusionary units shall be located on sites that are in proximity to or will provide access
to employment opportunities, urban services, or major roads or other transportation
and that are compatible with adjacent land uses.
Desi n
The design of the Inclusionary Units shall be reasonably consistent or visually
compatible with the design of the total project development in terms of appearance,
external building materials and finished quality.
4~Page

Guidelines to the Balanced Communities Policy ~;a~~
Upon application as provided herein, the City may, to the maximum extent appropriate
in light of project design elements as determined by the Development Services Director,
allow builders to finish out the interior of Inclusionary Units with less expensive finishes
and appliances, without reducing the amenities offered.
Bedroom Mix
Inclusionary developments shall provide a mix of number of bedrooms in the affordable
dwelling units in response to affordable housing demand priorities of City and/or
proportionate to the bedroom size of the market-rate units as determined by the
Development Services Director.
Public Benefit
The City may approve alternatives to the construction of new Inclusionary units where
the proposed alternative provides a more effective and feasible means of satisfying the
requirements and greater public benefit.
This determination shall be based on findings that the proposed alternative:
• Advances the goals and objectives of the Housing Element;
• Achieves a balance of housing opportunities within the community;
• Provides a preferred product type in light of the housing needs of the surrounding
area and need;
• Provides more very low & low income units and deeper affordability levels;
• Offers opportunities to special needs populations of the community;
• Offers locational advantages relative to the needs of lower income households;
and/or
• Offers greater feasibility and/or cost effectiveness than new construction.
Determining Methods of Compliance
Generally, the City encourages the satisfaction of the Inclusionary Housing requirements
through the construction of new residential units to increase its supply of affordable
housing within the project ("on-site") for for-sale developments. For rental
development, a Developer, who has not received any form of City assistance, may
voluntarily fulfill their obligation by any of the methods of compliance. The City
recognizes that there may be a need to provide greater flexibility to developers seeking
to satisfy their requirement due to unique conditions of the project and/or the varied
housing needs of the community. The City may request information from a Developer
in determining the feasibility of one or more of the compliance alternatives, including
but not limited to the factors below.

Guidelines to the Balanced Communities Policy ~~+
Compliance Alternatives
A Developer may satisfy the Policy requirement by any combination of the following
alternatives after consideration of the methods of compliance. These alternatives shall
be reviewed in priority order for compliance with the obligation using the determining
factors above.
On-Site
On-site inclusion of the Inclusionary Requirement is the preferred alternative to meet
the Inclusionary requirements. Factors to consider in meeting the on-site obligation
include the location of the project, type and tenure of the entire project, and financing
of the project.
Off-Site
Developers may choose to satisfy their requirements through a project at a different
site, known as the "off-site" option but not in the "Area of Low/Moderate Income
Concentration". This option may be accomplished solely or in conjunction with another
developer, also referred to as a "combined project".
Such options may include, but are not limited to:
• Constructing new affordable units at a different site;
• Acquiring and rehabilitating existing market rate units to affordable units;
• Transfer of affordable housing credits from the City or another developer; and
Provision of special needs housing projects or programs (shelters, transitional
housing, etc.).
The City acknowledges that the public benefit of a particular project may require
consideration of meeting an off-site obligation within the "Area of Low/Moderate
Income Concentration". In such cases, the City may provide a finding that an off-site
obligation may be met within this otherwise excluded area, if it provides a unique public
benefit that might not otherwise occur.
As part of the Inclusionary Housing Plan, the Developer shall:
Identify the proposed off-site location and the number of proposed units to be
credited to its Inclusionary requirement, demonstrating that the off-site option
meets the goals of the Inclusionary policy (i.e. provides a balance of housing options
and/or provides a unique benefit);
Provide evidence of site control of the off-site location; and
6~Page
4-14
Guidelines to the Balanced Communities
_~\I(~
afinn°veu
Demonstrate that the proposed off-site location will be able to satisfy the
requirements of the Policy.
In-Lieu Housing Fee
Developers may choose to satisfy any portion of their requirements through payment of
an in-lieu housing fee, including a prorated in-lieu fee for partial units. This fee is
approved by the City Council based upon the affordability gap of what low/moderate
income households can afford to pay for a home and the median sales price of a home
in Chula Vista. The fee is regularly updated as conditions change.
Developers must pay the In-Lieu Housing Fee at the time of issuance of a building
permit for any part of the project.
Process
The Balanced Communities Policy is implemented primarily through two documents: the
Inclusionary Housing Plan and the Balanced Communities Affordable Housing
Agreement. The Inclusionary Housing Plan provides the basis for determining how the
provisions of the Policy will be satisfied. The Inclusionary Housing Agreement and any
deed restriction or regulatory agreement set forth the ongoing affordability and other
restrictions applicable to the Inclusionary Units once they have been completed.
Preliminary Application
A Developer subject to the Inclusionary Housing provisions of this Chapter and
proposing a housing development pursuant to the Policy may submit a preliminary
application prior to the submittal of any formal request for approval. Applicants are
encouraged to schedule apre-application conference with designated staff of the
Planning, Building and/or Housing Divisions of the Development Services Department to
discuss and identify potential application issues, including prospective incentives or
concessions that may be requested.
A preliminary application shall include the following information:
A brief description of the proposed housing development, including the total
number of units, bedroom count, and Inclusionary Units proposed;
The zoning and general plan designations and assessor parcel number(s) of the
project site;
A vicinity map and preliminary site plan, drawn to scale, including building footprints,
driveway, parking layout, open space, recreational amenities, building elevations,
existing contours and proposed grading; and
_..__ __

\f/~
Guidelines to the Balanced Communities Policy ~~+
• A letter identifying what specific incentives or concessions are being requested for
the affordable units.
Within 90 days of receipt of the preliminary application, the City shall provide to the
Applicant a letter which identifies project issues of concern and the procedures for
compliance with this Policy.
Inclusionary Housing Plan
An Inclusionary Housing Plan is submitted along with the Applicant's first application for
a Discretionary Approval for a Residential Development. No Discretionary Approval shall
be granted without submission of the Inclusionary Housing Plan.
Content
The Inclusionary Housing Plan shall contain the following information:
• A brief description of the Residential Development including the number of Market
Rate Units and Inclusionary Units proposed, and the basis for the calculation of the
number of Inclusionary Units.
• The unit-mix, location, structure type, and size of the Market Rate and Inclusionary
Units, and whether the Residential Development is an ownership or rental project.
• A floor plan depicting the location of the Inclusionary Units shall be provided.
• The income level of the Inclusionary Units; In the event the Developer proposes a
phased project, a phasing plan that provides for the timely development of the
Inclusionary Units as the Residential Development is built out. The phasing plan shall
provide for development of the Inclusionary Units concurrently with the Market Rate
Units.
• If the Developer intends to satisfy the Inclusionary Unit requirement by payment of
an in-lieu fee, a statement to that effect, and a calculation of the total in-lieu fee
payment required.
• If a conveyance of land or an off-site Inclusionary Units alternative is proposed,
information necessary to establish compliance with these Guidelines.
Enforcement
Approval of the Inclusionary Housing Plan and implementation of a Balanced
Communities Affordable Housing Agreement shall be a condition of approval of any
Discretionary Approval or building permit for the Residential Development.
Balanced Communities Affordable Housing Agreement
Except for those cases where the requirements are satisfied by payment of an in-lieu fee
or the conveyance of land to the City, all Developers whose projects are subject to the

Guidelines to the Balanced Communities Policy a~~~
Policy shall enter into a Balanced Communities Affordable Housing Agreement with the
City. The City's standard form(s) of the Agreement may be obtained from the Housing
Division of the Development Services Department.
Content
The form of the Balanced Communities Affordable Housing Agreement may vary,
depending on the manner in which the provisions are satisfied for a particular
Residential Development.
All Inclusionary Housing Agreements shall include, at a minimum, the following
information:
The number of total units within the residential development and the Inclusionary
Units proposed, with specific calculations detailing the application of any credit
adjustment;
The proposed location of the Inclusionary Units; and
• Schedule for production of dwelling units.
If no map is being processed, the Agreement required is a project specific agreement to
include the following:
• Indicate whether the Residential Development is an ownership or rental project;
• The number and size of Very Low, Low or Moderate Income Units, location of units,
square-footage of units;
Amenities and services provided, such as daycare, after school programs,
transportation, job training/employment services and recreation;
The incentives (if any), including the nature and amount of local public funding;
Provisions for resale or rental restrictions, monitoring affordability of the units; and
The determination of Income-Eligible households.
Where applicable, requirements for other documents to be approved by City, such as
marketing, leasing and management plans; financial assistance/loan documents; resale
agreements; and monitoring and compliance plans.
Enforcement
No building permit shall be issued for all or any portion of the Residential Development
unless the Balanced Communities Affordable Housing Agreement has been recorded.
For those residential projects processing a map, the Balanced Communities Affordable
Housing Agreement is executed prior to final map approval and shall be recorded upon
9~Page
4-17
vi
:.ww
Guidelines to the Balanced Communities Policy a~~~a
final map recordation. Where a map is not being processed, the Agreement is executed
prior to the issuance of building permits for any units within the project.
Recordation
The Agreement is recorded as a covenant against the real property of the Residential
Development and will run with the land.
This Agreement should generally be recorded in the first position and not subordinated
to other liens and encumbrances.
In the case where satisfaction of the Inclusionary housing requirements are being met
through the development of off-site Inclusionary Units, the Agreement will be
simultaneously recorded on both the title to the property where the off-site Inclusionary
Units are to be developed and the Residential Development. Upon the completion of
the Inclusionary Units and their occupancy by Income-Eligible households, the
Agreement shall be released from record title of the market rate Residential
Development site.
Determining Affordability
To remain consistent with Federal and State programs related to affordable housing, the
City of Chula Vista uses the definitions and data provided by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development and the State of California to define income levels and
affordability of housing.
Income Levels
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides income charts
that identify the annual and monthly maximum incomes for lower income households
for the San Diego County area and updates this information each year. The City of
Chula Vista uses the Area Median Income (AMI) for San Diego County, since HUD does
not provide median income data for specific cities. These income charts are shown in
Exhibit 2, and are available at the office of the Chula Vista Development Services
Department -Housing Division and on its website at www.chulavistaca.gov/cvrh.
The City uses this income data as a basis for calculating the maximum rents and sales
prices permitted under the City's Affordable Housing Programs. The City's affordability
requirements refer to the following income categories, which are based on various
percentages of the AMI:
__
lO~Page
4-18
\I f~
~`
Guidelines to the Balanced Communities Policy a~a~
Income Adjusted for Household Size
The Area Median Income as published by HUD corresponds to the area median income
for a household of four. The AMI is then adjusted for household size. HUD sets the
median incomes for other household sizes by applying a multiplier to the median
income of a household of four.
The City uses these income limits for setting the eligibility of renters and buyers under
its affordable housing programs. Households are considered eligible if their income
does not exceed the income for their household size at the upper end of the targeted
income level.
EXAMPLE: Determining Income Level
1. Targeted Income Level =Low Income
2. Smith family's (household size of 3 persons) annual
income = $45,000.
3. Maximum anriual income for a Low Income household
of 3 persons at 80%AMI = $57,850 (as of December 1, 2011)
4. Smith family is qualified as Low Income.
Affordability = 30% of Income
The term "affordable" may have a wide range of meanings to the general public, but in
the City's usage it has as specific meaning. The City, as well as most state and federal
housing programs define affordable as housing costs that do not generally exceed 30%
of the gross annual household income of any given income group (reference California
Health and Safety Code Section 50053 (b) for rental housing and 50052.5 (b) for
ownership housing).
11~Page
4-19
\I!~
Guidelines to the Balanced Communities Policy ~~~
EXAMPLE: Affordable Housing Costs
1. Maximum annual income of five person low-income
household at 80%AMI = $ 71,400.
2. Maximum monthly affordable housing cost =
Annual income _ 12 x .30.
=$66,100-12x.30
_ $ 5,950 x .30
_ $ 1,785 maximum monthly housing cost
OR
1. Maximum annual income of five person moderate-
income household at 120% AMI = $98,400.
2. Maximum monthly affordable housing cost =
Annual income - 12 x .30 = $ 66,100 - 12 x .30
_ $ 8,092 x .30
The monthly housing cost limits and purchase price estimations given here are based on
the following assumptions:
Appropriate household size is defined as the number of bedrooms in a unit plus one,
i.e. aone-bedroom unit is based on a 2-person household, atwo-bedroom unit is
based on a 3-person household, and so on.
Calculating Affordable Rents
For a rental unit, total housing costs include the monthly rent payment as well as
consideration for a utility allowance (reference 25 California Code of Regulations Section
6918). Information on utility allowances can be obtained from the City and is based
upon the schedule adopted by the Housing Authority of the County of San Diego and
approved by HUD, reference Exhibit 3. The utility schedule varies by number of
bedrooms in a unit and by the various utility combinations.
Affordable rental rates are based upon a targeted income level. It is impractical to set
individual maximums rents on the actual income of each household to reside within the
affordable unit.
Estimated rental rates are provided only as rough guides, as there are several variable
factors that go into calculating rental rates. The state and federal government housing
programs may make various adjustments for bedroom size and target income

percentages. The examples provided in these Guidelines summarizes the most
commonly used by the City for affordable rental projects, reference Exhibit 4.
EXAMPLE: Affordable Rental Housing Costs
1. 2 Bedroom apartment affordable to a low income household
2. Household size = 3 persons
3. Affordable rent calculated at 70%AMI
4. Maximum monthly affordable rent = Max Housing Cost -Utility
allowance
($4,333 x .30) _ $ 1,299.99 maximum monthly housing cost -utility
allowance
OR
1. Maximum annual income of five person moderate-income
household at 120% AMI = $ 97,100
2. Maximum monthly affordable housing cost =
Annual income = 12 x .30 = $ 66,100 _ 12 x .30 = $ 8,092 x .30
_ $ 2,427.60 maximum monthly housing cost -utility allowance
Calculating Affordable Homeownership Costs
For for-sale units, total housing costs include the mortgage payment (principal and
interest), homeowners association dues, taxes, mortgage insurance and any other
related assessments (reference 25 California Code of Regulations Section 6920).
Estimated purchase prices are provided only as rough guides, as there are several
