Fee: Housing Mitigation Fee / Housing Impact Fee
Fee
Description: Fees paid by developers for specified projects that generate demand for affordable housing including: 1) nonresidential development and 2) housing development approved for a fee in-lieu of the Below Market Rate (BMR) unit requirement or paying fee for a partial BMR unit. (Former Sunnyvale Municipal Code Section 19.22.035 and Current Chapter 19.75, Chapter 19.67 and Chapter
19.77)
Pur
pose of Fee: Housing Mitigation Fees (former Sunnyvale Muni. Code Section 19.22.035) were previously collected from developers of high intensity industrial development. In 2015, the City Council repealed Section 19.22.035 and replaced it with SMC Chapter 19.75, which imposes a Housing Impact Fee on nonresidential construction. Since 1980 the City has had inclusionary affordable housing requirements (Below Market Rate units) for both ownership and rental developments (formerly SMC Chapter 19.88). The original municipal code provisions allowed in-lieu fees for developments fewer than 20 units. The municipal code requirements for BMR units has been amended several times (e.g. 1991, 1992, 2003, 2012, 2019, 2021) including: increasing the percent of BMR units, enabling in lieu fees on all developments with City Council approval Council approval; removing BMR requirements for rental developments after a 2009 court decision that held that inclusionary housing requirements for residential rental units are pre-empted by the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act; adding an Housing Mitigation Fee for rental housing; reinstating BMR requirements (after State law enabled this in 2017) for rental housing that included options for in lieu fees with City Council approval. 2012, 2976-12
