WHEREAS, developers of For-Sale Set Aside Units and Rental Set Aside Units are required to enter into Affordability Agreements with the City of Emeryville to execute the requirements of the AHP, including the duration of the affordability covenants, the developer’s marketing requirements, the initial sales prices or rent levels as applicable, the designation of the Set Aside Units, and the required resale restriction documents; and WHEREAS, the initial sales prices or rent levels for each project subject to the AHP are determined in accordance with the definition of affordable housing cost found in state law at Section 50052.5 of the California Health and Safety Code (the “Code”); and WHEREAS, to implement the affordable housing cost requirements of the AHP, the City has prepared the 2025 Housing Affordability Table in accordance with the requirements of Section 50052.5 of the Code; now, therefore, be it
