I. INTRODUCTION
A. PURPOSE AND CONTENT
The purpose and intent of this Affordable Housing Program (AHP) is to encourage the
development of diverse and balanced neighborhoods with a range of housing opportunities
for all identifiable economic segments of the population, including households of lower
and moderate income consistent with the City’s housing policies and needs as specified in
its General Plan Housing Element. The intent is to ensure that when developing the limited
supply of developable land, housing opportunities for persons of all income levels are
provided. The provision of this AHP establish standards and procedures that will
encourage the development of housing affordable to low and moderate-income households
within the Sectional Planning Area (SPA) and are to be consistent with the Housing
Element’s Balanced Communities Policy and the adopted Guidelines.
The AHP identifies the type and location of affordable housing units to be provided,
potential subsidies or incentive programs, income restrictions and methods to verify
compliance. The program may be implemented through various mechanisms including
development agreements, tentative map conditions, and specific housing project
agreements that may include additional terms and conditions, consistent with this program.
B. NEEDS ASSESSMENT
According to San Diego Association of Government’s (SANDAG) Series 14: 2050
Regional Growth Forecast, Chula Vista is expected to gain 64,898 new residents and
26,734 new households (2016 to 2050). Furthermore, SANDAG, through its Regional
Housing Needs Allocation (July 10, 2020), estimated that based on anticipated economic
growth for the period beginning April 15, 2021, to April 15, 2029, the City would
experience a demand for 11,105 new housing units, of which 4,527 new housing units
affordable to low and very low-income households and 1,911 new housing units for
moderate income households.
To encourage the development of adequate housing to meet the needs of low and moderate-
income households and to further geographic and community balance, the City’s adopted
Housing Element provides for a Balanced Community Policy, requiring ten-percent (10%)
affordable housing for low and moderate-income households within developments of fifty
(50) or more residential units. This inclusionary housing program will serve as only one
component of the City’s overall housing strategy and will complement other affordable
housing efforts, including preservation of existing assisted housing, development of new
assisted housing with public subsidies, first-time homebuyer assistance, and rehabilitation
loans for low-income homeowners. The City does find that such inclusionary housing
policy is beneficial to increasing the supply of housing affordable to households of lower
and moderate incomes and to meet the City’s regional share of housing needs given the
demographics of the community and its needs, past housing production performance, and
the existing opportunities and constraints as detail in its Housing Element.

The current characteristics of the City’s population, housing, employment, land
inventory, and economic conditions, which affect its housing goals, policies and
programs include:
▪ The population, as of April, 2020, has more diversity in race/ethnicity than the
region, in that 58-percent of residents identified themselves as Hispanic or Latino1
Asian population comprises 13-percent, and white, non-Hispanic population
represents 29-percent as of 2010. This compares to 20-percent, 11-percent, and
69-percent, respectively, for the region.
▪ Chula Vista residents have household income characteristics that nearly match the
regional median.
▪ There is a geographic disparity in household median income in Chula Vista. The
household median income west of Interstate-805 is less than the City median
income ($76,354), while east of Interstate-805 exceeds the median income.
▪ Nearly a third of households earn less than $45,000 per year.
▪ Household size is slightly larger than the region, at 3.25 persons per household
compared to 2.82 per household for the region.
▪ Seniors, aged 65-years or older, comprise 15-percent of the total population.
▪ Housing west of Interstate-805 was built primarily before 1980 (32-percent before
1960 and 50-percent between 1960-1980). Housing east of Interstate- 805 was
built after 1980, with 41-percent built between 1980-2000, and 50-percent built
after 2000.
▪ Housing types are diverse west off-805, with 41-percent multi-family housing and
48-percent single-family housing. Single-family homes comprise most of the
housing available east off-805 (82-percent of housing).
▪ A home ownership rate of 58.1-percent is slightly above as the region's rate of 54-
percent.
▪ The median housing cost in 2019 of $614,000 is lower than the region's median
cost of $649,000.
▪ The well-established neighborhoods and master planned neighborhoods create
different opportunities and require a different ser of policies and program to
address housing needs. The amount of land in the City available for new residential
development is severely limited by geography and size. The largest supply of
vacant developable land is planned for master planned communities. The City has
two sets of numerical housing goals established by SANDAG, which are also
addressed in the City’s General Plan Housing Element: the City’s share of the
region’s future housing needs (regional share goals) and the Quantified Objectives
for Affordable Housing Production. The total regional share goal is 11,105 new
housing units by 2029, with 41-percent or 4,527 units needed for very low- and
low-income households.
Chula Vista faces a growing shortage of housing that is affordable to a wide range of our
population and needed for a healthy functioning housing market. This lack of affordable
housing is detrimental to the health, safety, and welfare of the City's residents. Employees

may be forced to live in less than adequate housing within the City, pay a disproportionate
share of their incomes to live in adequate housing within the City or commute increasing
distances to their jobs from housing located outside the City. The City's Balanced
Communities Policy can enhance the public welfare by increasing the supply of housing
affordable to households of lower and moderate-income incomes in a balanced manner
and thereby combating the adverse effects to the City due to an insufficient supply of
affordable housing.
II. FC 1 AFFORDABLE HOUSING OBLIGATION, LOCATION, PHASING, DESIGN
AND UNIT MIX
A. OBLIGATION
The City of Chula Vista Housing Element and the Otay Ranch GDP provide that ten
percent of the total units will be affordable to low and moderate-income households. Of
the ten percent, five percent must be affordable to low-income households and five percent
must be affordable to moderate income households, as either rental or for-sale dwelling
units. In calculating the required number of affordable units, fractional units may result
and may either be provided as one additional affordable unit or paid as a partial in-lieu fee
equal to the resulting fraction.
The estimated Otay Ranch Town Center (FC 1) affordable housing unit obligation is based
on the FC 1 SPA entitlement authorization of up to 840 units. Based upon the maximum
number of anticipated dwelling units, the affordable units required for FC 1 are 42 low-
income and 42 moderate-income affordable units. It is anticipated that the residential units
will be built in phases and that affordable dwelling units will be built and provided on a
pro-rata basis, per phase, unless otherwise agreed to by both parties.
B. TYPES OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING
The housing policies established in the City of Chula Vista Housing Element advocate a
broad variety and diversity of housing types. The affordable housing obligations of FC 1
will be met through a combination of housing types including rental and “for-sale”
housing. In general, low-income housing needs will be satisfied through the provision of
rental units. Depending upon the availability of adequate subsidies, incentives or other
financing assistance, a limited number of "for-sale" multi-family housing units affordable
to low-income households may be available as well. Housing opportunities to meet the
needs of moderate-income households will be provided through a combination of market-
rate rental units as well as “for-sale” housing in medium-high to higher density
developments.
Freeway Commercial SPA
Otay Ranch Town Center
4 | P a g e
C. LOCATION
The location of affordable housing developments shall take into consideration proximity
to and availability of the following:
• Existing or proposed public transit facilities or transportation routes;
• Existing or proposed community facilities and services, such as shopping, medical,
childcare, recreation areas and schools; and
• Existing or future employment opportunities.
Affordable housing units required for FC 1 may be located either within or outside the plan
area. Affordable housing to accommodate low-income households may be provided
within rental housing developments. “For-sale” units affordable to moderate income
households may be available as well.
Consideration of location will be made on a case-by-case basis. Evaluation of alternate
locations should include an analysis of the specific benefit to be gained from development
of such replacement site, including such factors as an increase in the number of affordable
units, deeper affordability levels, or the earlier satisfaction of the affordable housing
requirement.
Identification of potential target sites in this AHP describes one way in which the FC 1
affordable housing obligation might be met, and is not meant to require that affordable
units be constructed on any specific sites nor to preclude other alternatives. Such
alternatives might include, by way of example, the aggregation of rental housing
affordable to low-income households within the mixed-use site, or as a separate component
of another development site. A final determination as to the location and type of the
affordable housing sites will occur with subsequent entitlements, approvals, and
agreements.
D. PHASING
Development of FC 1 will be completed in multiple phases to ensure construction of
necessary infrastructure and amenities for each phase as the project progresses. The
Phasing Plan is non-sequential. This recognizes that sequential phasing is frequently
inaccurate due to unforeseen market changes or regulatory constraints. Therefore, the FC
1 SPA Plan and Public Facilities Finance Plan (PFFP) permit non-sequential phasing by
imposing specific facilities requirements for each phase to ensure that FC 1 is adequately
served, and City threshold standards are met.
Detailed schedules and building permit stipulations for the construction of affordable units
in relation to other market rate units will be established through the initial Affordable
Housing Agreement. The Affordable Housing Agreement must be in place prior to the
approval of the first Final Subdivision Map.
The Developer shall diligently pursue completion of the construction of the low and
moderate-income housing units as per the implementation schedule established by the
initial Affordable Housing Agreement.
Freeway Commercial SPA
Otay Ranch Town Center

E. DESIGN
Affordable housing shall be compatible with the design and use of the market rate units,
in terms of appearance, materials, and finish quality. The developer shall have the option
of reducing the interior amenities, levels, and square footage of the affordable units.
F. UNIT MIX BY BEDROOM COUNT
The affordable units shall have an overall unit mix by bedroom count which reflects the
appropriate community need and shall be comparable to the unit mix by bedroom count of
the market rate units in the residential development. The affordable dwelling units may
be either rental or for-sale dwelling units.
III. AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTIONS
A. INCOME ELIGIBILITY
To determine the eligibility of a household for the low and/or moderate-income housing
unit, the household purchasing or renting the affordable unit must qualify as a lower
income/moderate-income household, as established by, and amended from time to time
pursuant to Section 3 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as published by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and as also provided in
California Health and Safety Code Sections 50079.5 and 50105.
B. AFFORDABLE HOUSING COSTS
The allowable housing expense paid by a qualifying household shall not exceed a specified
fraction of the gross monthly income, adjusted for household size, for the following classes
of housing:
Very Low-Income rental and for-sale units: 30-percent of the gross monthly income,
adjusted for household size, at 50-percent of the Area Median Income (AMI) for San Diego
County, or as provided in Section 50053 (b)(3) and 50052.5 (b)(2) of the California Health
and Safety Code
Lower Income, rental units: 30-percent of the gross monthly income, adjusted for
household size, at 60-percent of the AMI for San Diego County, or as provided in Section
50053 (b)(4) of the California Health and Safety Code.
Lower Income, for-sale units: 30-percent of the gross monthly income, adjusted for
household size, at 70-percent of the AMI for San Diego County, or as provided in Section
50052.5 (b)(3) of the California Health and Safety Code.
Moderate-Income, rental units: 30-percent of the gross monthly income, adjusted for
household size, at 110-percent of the AMI for San Diego County, or as provided in Section
50053 (b)(5) of the California Health and Safety Code.
Freeway Commercial SPA
Otay Ranch Town Center
6 | P a g e
Moderate-Income, for-sale units: 35-percent of the gross monthly income, adjusted for
household size, at 110-percent of the AMI for San Diego County, or as provided in Section
50052.5 (b)(4) of the California Health and Safety Code.
To determine the "Allowable housing expense" include all of the actual or projected
monthly or annual recurring expenses required of a household to obtain shelter.
1. For a for-sale unit, allowable housing expenses include payments for principal and
interest on a mortgage loan, including any loan insurance fees, property taxes and
assessments, fire and casualty insurance, homeowner association fees, and a
reasonable allowance for utilities, or as defined in 25 California Code of
Regulations Section 6920.
2. For a rental unit, allowable housing expenses include payments for rent and a
reasonable allowance for utilities, or as defined in 25 California Code of
Regulations Section 6918.
Should subsidized financing and other incentives from a public agency be proposed and
obtained, the monthly affordable rent shall be dictated by such program or granting
Agency. If no affordable rent is specified, affordable monthly rents shall be established in
accordance with Section 50053 of the California Health and Safety Code.
C. UNDERWRITING REQUIREMENTS
To ensure the preservation of affordability of proposed low and moderate-income for-sale
housing and financial viability of program participants, the City shall encourage the
following policies consistent with the City’s adopted City Council Policy 453-02:
▪ Fixed rate mortgages only. No adjustable rate mortgages;
▪ Affordable monthly housing payments no more than 38-percent of household
income (“Front End Ratio”). Total debt payments no more than 45-percent of
household income (“Back End Ratio”).
▪ No “teaser” rates; and,
▪ No non-occupant co-borrowers.
D. AFFORDABILITY TERM OF OWNER-OCCUPIED HOUSING
In order to ensure the continued affordability of the units, resale of the units must be
restricted for the required term of fifty-five (55) years. After initial sale of the affordable
units to a low-income household, all subsequent buyers of such units must also be income
eligible and the unit must be sold at an affordable price. A developer may opt to have no
income or sales price restriction for subsequent buyers, provided however that restrictions
to the satisfaction of the City are in place that would result in the recapture by the City or
its designee of a financial interest in the units equal to the amount of subsidy necessary to
make the unit affordable to a low-income household and a proportionate share of any
equity. Funds recaptured by the City shall be used to provide assistance to other identified
affordable housing production or contributions to a special needs housing project or
Freeway Commercial SPA
Otay Ranch Town Center

program. To the extent possible, projects using for-sale units to satisfy the obligations of
developers under the City’s Affordable Housing Program shall be designed to be
compatible with conventional mortgage financing programs including secondary market
requirements.
E. TERM OF AFFORDABILITY RESTRICTIONS
The term of the affordability restrictions shall be fifty-five years (55) years from issuance
of the Certificate of Occupancy for the first structure providing income restricted units, or
the longest period of time if required by the construction or mortgage financing assistance
program, mortgage insurance program, or subsidy or incentive program. The term of
affordability and resale restrictions for affordable for-sale units are more appropriately
described above in “Resale Provisions of Owner- Occupied Housing.”
IV. SUBSIDIES, INCENTIVES AND FINANCING MECHANISMS
The obligation to provide affordable housing shall not be dependent upon the availability
of subsidies, incentives, or financing mechanisms. The City shall consider providing
incentives, assistance, and subsidies to those qualifying projects and supporting any
applications for assistance that requires approvals from, or allocations by other agencies,
to the extent feasible, in a manner that offsets the cost of providing for affordable units.
Offsets will be offered by the City to the extent that resources and programs for this
purpose are available to the City and to the extent that the qualifying projects, with the use
of the offsets, assists in achieving the City's housing goals. To the degree such offsets are
available, the Developer may make application to the City.
The parties acknowledge that the City is not hereby committing, directly or through
implication, a right to receive any offsets from City or any other party or agency to enable
the Developer to meet the obligations and cannot guarantee the availability of any Cost
Reducing Mechanisms to the Developer for Freeway Commercial South. The City
reserves the right to approve, approve with conditions or disapprove, in its sole discretion,
any Developer request for subsidized financing sponsored by the City.
DENSITY BONUS
Projects that meet the applicable requirements of State law (Government Code Section
65915) because of affordable housing units, are entitled to a density bonus or other
incentives in accordance with the provisions of such law.
V. COMPLIANCE REPORTING
Terms related to occupancy and affordability restrictions shall be recorded as a separate
deed restriction or regulatory agreement on the property designated for the affordable units
and shall bind all future owners and successors in interest for the term of years specified
therein. The City shall monitor affordable units for compliance with those terms and
Freeway Commercial SPA
Otay Ranch Town Center

conditions of all relevant Affordable Housing Agreements or other restrictions. The
Developer shall submit compliance reports in the frequency and manner prescribed by the
City of Chula Vista Development Services Department.
VI. AFFIRMATIVE MARKETING PLAN
The Developer shall provide a marketing plan acceptable to the City, in the City's
reasonable discretion, for proactively marketing the low and moderate-income housing
units to low and moderate-income tenants and purchasers. Developer shall use good faith
and reasonable best efforts to market the low and moderate-income housing units to low
and moderate-income tenants and purchasers according to the affirmative marketing plan.
The City will use good faith and reasonable best efforts to assist the Developer in marketing
low and moderate-income housing units to low and moderate-income tenants and
purchasers obtaining the services of a third-party organization in connection with such
marketing efforts, processing the applications of prospective tenants and purchasers of low-
and moderate-income housing units, and complying with the reporting requirements as
