The balance of the City’s cash funds is held in the pooled accounts with Tri Counties Bank with a balance as of $6,819,88.24.

CITY POLICY STATEMENT
Replacement Housing to Protect Against the Loss of Affordable Housing Statement of Policy
In accordance with Government Code Section 65583.2(g)(3), the City of Mt. Shasta shall require replacement of existing housing that is demolished or significantly altered, including affordable housing, while also adhering to the city's general plan and municipal code. This replacement housing policy is crucial for maintaining stable, diverse communities and ensuring that low-income residents have access to safe, affordable housing.
The following definitions shall apply to this policy:
1) "Proposed developments that include housing units affordable to lower-income households" means that dwelling units shall be sold or rented to lower-income households, as defined in Section 50079.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, at an affordable housing cost, as defined in Section 50052.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, or an affordable rent, as defined in Section 50053 of the Health and Safety Code. 2) “Replacement housing” refers to rental housing that replaces demolished, disposed of, or otherwise reduced public or assisted housing.
The Policy shall be implemented and enforced per the conditions herein:
1) This policy requires replacement housing units be subject to the requirements of Government Code section 65915, subdivision (c)(3) on sites identified in the City’s site inventory when any new development (residential, mixed-use or nonresidential) occurs on a site that is identified in the inventory meeting the following conditions:
a. currently has residential uses or within the past five years has had residential uses that have been vacated or demolished, and
b. was subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents to levels affordable to persons and families of low or very low-income, or c. subject to any other form of rent or price control through a public entity’s valid exercise of its police power, or
d. occupied by low or very low-income households.
e. The City’s policy will also consider how to provide disclosure to properties subject to replacement housing for future property owners.
2) This policy applies when public or assisted housing is demolished or reduced, new affordable housing units are built to replace them, maintaining a consistent supply of affordable housing for low-income residents.
3) Key Elements
a. Number of Replacement Units: The total number of replacement units replaced is equal to the number of units lost.
34 b. Bedroom Size Distribution. The distribution of replacement units by bedroom size shall ensure a variety of housing options for different household sizes. c. Location: Replacement housing shall be located to ensure that new units are in areas with good access to services and opportunities. Replacement housing shall be located on the same site as the lost units or at another location under common ownership at the discretion of the Planning Director.
d. Affordability Standards: Replacement housing units by affordability shall comply with the following:
i. Inclusionary Zoning: Some percentage of replacement affordable housing units may be offset in new residential developments at the discretion of the Planning Director.
ii. Density Bonus: Density Bonus Housing Law shall incentivize affordable units through legally mandated density bonus, effectively creating more units, some of which can be designated as replacement housing.
iii. Tax Credits and Other Incentives: The City of Mt Shasta may offer tax credits or other incentives to developers who build replacement housing, making it more financially viable.
