Alameda City Council

Section 30-16.4(c) Types of Inclusionary Units: Inclusionary Units shall be provided at one of the following ratios, as chosen by the developer and approved in the Affordable Housing Plan. The three options shown in the tables below are designed to require an equivalent subsidy. Therefore, an option with a lower percentage of affordable units requires a higher subsidy cost per unit than an option with a higher percentage of units, rather than representing a reduction in the overall affordable housing obligation. The developer may propose an economically equivalent ratio of affordable units in one or more affordability categories, which may be approved as part of the project entitlement based on a cost of subsidy analysis demonstrating rough equivalence to the basic requirement. Any such adjustment shall be approved by the Planning Board and may be appealed to the City Council pursuant to Chapter 30-25.
