Ordinance No. 2287 <br />Page 12 of 21 <br /> <br />E. Inclusionary units . Inclusionary units may have fewer interior amenities than the market rate <br />units in the project, except that inclusionary units shall have air-conditioning, enclosed garages, <br />and laundry facilities to the extent the market-rate units have those amenities. Interior finishes <br />and amenities must be equivalent to those provided in the base model market-rate units. <br />F. The residents of the inclusionary units shall have the same access to shared common areas, <br />open space, parking, storage and other amenities as the market-rate residents when located in <br />the same building or on the same site. <br />G. Bedroom Mix: <br />The project shall comply with the following standards with respect to the bedroom mix of the <br />affordable/inclusionary units: <br />i. For for-sale projects, the average number of bedrooms per unit for all affordable <br />units in the project shall equal the average number of bedrooms for all other units <br />in the project, up to a limit of three bedrooms per unit; <br />ii. For rental projects, a minimum of 10 percent of the total affordable units shall be <br />three-bedroom units; a minimum of 40 percent of the total affordable units shall <br />be two-bedroom units; and the remaining affordable units shall be studio or one- <br />bedroom units except that no more than 10% of units may be studios. Age- <br />restricted projects shall not be required to provide three-bedroom units, and may <br />instead provide additional studio, one- or two-bedroom units in lieu of the <br />required three-bedroom units. This provision shall not apply to affordable units <br />that are financed with low-income tax credits. The director of community <br />development may approve deviations from the specified bedroom mix for projects <br />with 10 or fewer inclusionary units, except that at least 50 percent of units shall <br />have at least two bedrooms if the market rate project also provides units of that <br />size. <br />H. Inclusionary units shall remain affordable in perpetuity from the date of occupancy, which <br />shall be the date the city of Pleasanton approves final inspection for the building permit, <br />through recordation of an affordable housing agreement as described in Section 17.44.060 of <br />this chapter. <br /> <br />All inclusionary units in a project shall be constructed concurrently with, or prior to, the <br />construction of the project's market rate units, unless an alternative schedule for construction <br />is approved by the city council in accordance with Section 17.44.080 below. “Concurrently” <br />means that all inclusionary units shall be built prior to the build-out of market rate units in the <br />same residential development project. In phased developments, inclusionary units shall be <br />constructed and occupied in proportion to the number of market rate units constructed and <br />occupied in each phase as follows: <br />1. A building permit may not be issued for any market rate unit unless a proportional <br />number of building permits has been issued for inclusionary units; and <br />2. A certificate of occupancy or final inspection may not be issued for market rate units <br />unless a proportional number of certificates of occupancy or final inspections have been <br />issued for inclusionary units. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Page 41 of 126
