City of Riverside – Recently Proposed but Not Adopted Inclusionary Ordinance – On December 21, 2023, Riverside’s Housing and Human Services Department presented a proposed Inclusionary Ordinance to the Riverside Planning Commission. The Planning Commission did not recommend Council approval, continued the request off calendar, and requested staff provide additional outreach to the Building Industry Association, policy performance projections, impact to housing costs, and inclusion ordinance language for rental multi-family housing.
Summary of Proposed Inclusionary Provisions:
Applicable to any for-sale development that creates three or more residential units or lots and subject to the following requirements:
•For-sale single-family developments (up to a density of 10.9 dwelling units per acre) will include five percent of total units at sale prices affordable to Moderate Income households earning up to 110 percent of the AMI. •For-sale townhome and condominium developments (densities between 10.9 and 14.5 dwelling units per acre) will include 10 percent of total units at sale prices affordable to Low Income households earning up to 70 percent AMI.
As an alternative to building the required inclusionary units as part of the project, developers may instead elect to build or finance building affordable units off-site. However, this option would require a higher proportion of affordable units – eight percent of total units in for-sale single-family developments, and 15 percent of total units in for-sale townhome and condominium developments.
An additional alternative is the option to pay a fee in-lieu of building the affordable units either on- or off-site. In-lieu fees would be assessed in an amount equal to the number of affordable units required if they were to be constructed off-site. Fees would be deposited in a dedicated affordable housing fund managed by the City’s Housing Authority to facilitate the construction, acquisition, and preservation of affordable housing. Recommended in-lieu fee per market-rate unit. In-lieu fee per square foot (typical) For-Sale Single-Family 8% $174,208 $13,937 $5.57 For-Sale Townhome/Condo 15% $203,655 $30,548 $20.37
