9-9
d. Minor delays. The thresholds described herein for commencing construction of Low
and Moderate-Income Housing units are based upon the current phasing proposals for the Project
as shown on the Tentative Map. City and Developer acknowledge that changes to the Project
may be required from time to time which could have a minor or insubstantial impact on the
timing of construction of the Low or Moderate-Income Housing units. Accordingly, changes to
the Project that could result in a delay in the construction of such units may, in the City's sole
discretion, be considered minor or insubstantial by the City's Development Services Director and
made without amendment to this Agreement. All other changes shall require a written
amendment to this Agreement.
3. Surplus Affordable Housing Units. If the Project includes more Low Income
Housing Units than five percent (5%) of the total number of units in the SPA Plan and as shown
on the Project's Tentative and Final Maps ("Surplus Units"), a Developer may, with the City's
approval, be entitled to obtain credit for any of the Surplus Units, known as "Affordable Housing
Credits". The City's approval of such Credits shall be determined by the City at such time the
City and Developer(s) execute a Regulatory Agreement for that project satisfYing any or all of
Developer(s)' Low Income Housing obligation (to be known as the "Project Level Agreement")
and shall be governed by the criteria described below. The extent to which a Developer(s) or
other patty is entitled to credit by the City for the Surplus Units shall be governed by the City's
consideration of the criteria described below and any other such criteria that may be agreed to by
the parties pursuant to the applicable Project Level Agreement. The following criteria shall be
considered by the City:
a. The Developer(s)' contribution, if any, to the Surplus Units;
b. The City's contribution, if any, to the Surplus Units for which the City may require
reimbursement or require use of the credits by the other Developers within Village Two;
c. Other public sector contribution, if any, to the Surplus Units;
d. The level of affordability achieved by the affordable housing project;
e. The concentration of affordable housing units within the neighborhood that the
Surplus Units are planned.
A contribution may include, but is not limited to, direct financial assistance, conveyance
of land, standards modifications or any other financial, land use, or regulatory concession which
would result in identifiable cost reductions enabling the provision of affordable housing.
If Developer(s) is provided Affordable Housing Credits by the City, Developer(s) may
either: I) apply such credits against Developer(s)' obligation to provide Low Income Housing
units in developments outside of the Project and located within the City of Chula Vista, 2) apply
such credits against Developer(s)' obligation to provide Moderate-Income Housing units within
the Project, or 3) convey the credits to another person or entity in full or partial satisfaction of
their obligation to provide Low and/or Moderate-Income Housing within the Project.
6
9-10
4. Incentive Credit. The Affordable Housing Obligation set forth in Section 2 of
this Agreement may be reduced as follows:
a. If Very Low Income units are provided in lieu of required Moderate Income units, a
credit of two (2) Moderate-Income units for every one (1) Very Low Income unit shall be
provided.
b. If Low Income units are provided in lieu of required Moderate Income units, a credit
of 1.5 Moderate-Income units for everyone (1) Low Income unit shall be provided.
5. Alternative Methods of Compliance. Based upon the attributes of those
properties of related ownership interests, such as size, density and location, the applicable
Affordable Housing Obligation, difficulty in integrating Low and/or Moderate-Income Housing
due to price and product disparity, developer capability, the new construction of the Low and/or
Moderate-Income Housing within residential development on such properties may present a
hardship and alternative methods of compliance may be required.
In lieu of including Low and/or Moderate-Income Housing, specifically those
Developer(s) with minority property ownership and/or smaller Affordable Housing Obligations
within Village Two, may request to satisfy the Low and/or Moderate-Income Housing obligation
through one or more of the alternatives set forth in this Agreement. Approval of satisfaction of
the Affordable Housing Obligations through an alternative method of compliance shall be at the
sole discretion of the City and based upon those considerations described above.
a. In Lieu Housing Fee. The City's Development Services Department Housing staff
has conducted a draft in lieu fee study. Based on that draft study, the contribution per Affordable
Housing unit is $124,220. Prior to the issuance of the residential building pernlit (excluding
models) representing 35 percent of the total units to be constructed by the Developer, Developer
shall execute an agreement with the City acknowledging and agreeing to the satisfaction of the
affordable housing obligation associated with their residential development through payment to
the City of an in lieu housing fee. Developer(s) may make payment ofa fee in lieu of all or some
of the Low and/or Moderate-Income Housing units. The in-lieu fee shall be paid prior to
issuance of the building permits for their residential development. Developer may, at its
discretion and as specified in the agreement, defer payment of the in lieu housing fee until such
time, but no later than, building permits have been issued for the residential unit representing 50
percent of the total units to be constructed by that Developer. Should the City establish an
updated in lieu fee, Developer(s) shall make payment to the City in accordance with the current
fee in effect at that time. Partial Affordable Housing Obligations shall be assessed on a pro-rata
basis.
b. Off-Site. Developer(s) may construct, convert existing non-restricted, acquire and
rehabilitate, or acquire the use of Affordable Housing Credits towards its Affordable Housing
Obligation at a property outside of the Project or at a Residential Development within the Project
but not within the Developer(s)'ownership interest, also known as an Otr-Site Alternative.
Developer(s)' Affordable Housing Obligation as set forth in this Agreement shall be satisfied
with respect to the Project if the following conditions are met: (i) Developer(s) record a
Regulatory Agreement against that real property providing for affordable Low and/or Moderate-
7
9-11
Income Housing; and (ii) the Low and Moderate-Income Housing units are operated in
compliance with that Regulatory Agreement. Allowing some or all of the Low and/or Moderate-
Income Housing units associated with the Project to be produced or operated at a site other than
within the Project should advance the City's housing goals and the relative advantages of the
alternative methods of compliance should substantially outweigh the disadvantages.
6. Duty to Identify. The Otay Ranch Village Two Sectional Planning Area (SPA)
Plan for the Project identifies potential sites for the construction of both the Low and Moderate-
Income Housing,. Final identification of sites for Low and Moderate Income Housing shall be
based upon their proximity to and availability of existing and proposed public transit facilities
and services, community facilities and services, and employment opportunities.
Identification of potential target sites in this Agreement describes one way in which the
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, including those mcthods
identified in Section 5. Such alternatives might include, by way of example, the aggregation of
rental housing affordable to Low and/or Moderate-Income households within one particular
development site. A final determination as to the location and type of the affordable housing
sites will occur with subsequent entitlements, approvals and agreements.
7. Duty to Implement Affordable Housing Program. Developer(s) shall cause the
Low and Moderate-Income Housing to be developed, marketed, rented (when not precluded by
state law)/sold in accordance with the City's goals, policies and programs contained in the
Housing Elemcnt of the General Plan and the Affordable Housing Program Implementation
Guidelines, and the Project's Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Affordable Housing Program, as
they may be adopted and amended from time to time, the terms and conditions of which are
hereby incorporated by this reference. In the event that there is an inconsistency between this
Agreement and the City's affordable housing policies (collectively the "Affordable Housing
Policies"), this Agreement shall control and the parties agree, as City deems necessary, to seek
any appropriate modifications to the Affordable Housing Policies to create consistency with the
terms and conditions hereof.
8. Demand to Build. Notwithstanding the provISIons of paragraph 2 of this
Agreement. if the City reasonably believes that Developer(s) will not reach the building permit
thresholds described in paragraph 2 (which would trigger the construction of the Low Income
Housing units) or not complete construction of the Low and/or Moderate-Income Housing units,
the City shall have the right to demand that Developer(s) construct a proportional amount of Low
and/or Moderate-Income Housing units relative to the total number of residential building
permits that have been issued for the Project. The City shall provide Developer(s) with the
written demand to construct the units within a reasonable period of time for Developer(s) to
commence construction of said units. Developer(s) shall complete construction of the Low
and/or Moderate-Income Housing units, as required by this paragraph, within one year of the
commencement of construction of the units so demanded. The duty contained in this paragraph
is non-cumulative to the duty in paragraph 2 with the City providing Developer(s) with the
appropriate amount of credit for completed construction.
8
9-12
9. Right to Withhold Permits. The City has the absolute and unfettered right to
withhold the issuance of any building permit for any residential unit within any residential
development within the Project that has not been released in accordance with paragraph 9 herein
if Developer(s) of that residential development is not in compliance with the terms and/or
obligations of this Agreement.
10. Development Permits, Maps and Documents. Developer(s) shall at its sole
expense, cause the preparation and diligent processing of all permits, agreements, plans, maps,
and other documents, including but not limited to, market strategy plans, design development
plan, and any amendments to the Project's General Development Plan and Scction Planning Arca
Plan that may be necessary to meet the Developer(s)' Obligation in the time frames set forth
herein as Exhibit C, or shall cause such actions to occur. City and Developer(s) agree to
cooperate with each other in processing Developer(s)' permits for the Project. Any unreasonable
delay caused by City in this regard that is not caused by the fault of Developer(s) shall not be
cause for City declaring Developer(s) in default hereunder and Developer(s)' implementation
schedule may be extended for a reasonable number of permits based upon recent absorption over
a period of time equal to such delay provided that Developer(s) has used, and continues to use,
its best efforts to cause Project completion in a timely manner.
9. Release.
a. This Agreement shall run with the land and bind any future owner to the
Affordable Housing Obligation described herein. If Developer(s) transfers any portion of the
Project which is subject to the burden of this Agreement, the City, at its sole discretion, may
release the portion so transferred of the burden of this Agreement as to such assigned portion, if
the Development Services Director determines that: 1) Such portion has complied with the
requirements of this Agreement; or 2) Other land within the Project will accommodate
Developer(s)' duty to build the Low and Moderate-Income Housing units.
b. Upon the sale of any individual unit to a homebuyer, the parties agree that such
unit shall be automatically released from the provisions of this Agreement. . Such release shall
not limit or modifY in any way Developer(s)' duty to build.
c. City further agrees to timely consider any request for release by Developer(s)
pursuant to (a) above. When such release is granted, Developer(s) and City agree to amend
Exhibit C to identifY those other sites to accommodate the affordable housing units in place of
those sites originally identified and subsequently released of such burden. Said amendment shall
be completed administratively and shall require no further action by the City Council and/or
Redevelopment Agency.
d. In the event that a parcel is requested to be released pursuant to the provisions of
paragraphs (a) or (b) above, the parties agree to execute and record such documentation as is
reasonably required by a reputable title insurance company to evidence such release. All costs
related to any such release shall be paid by Developer(s) or its assignee; City shall have no
responsibility of such costs.
