158739848.5 Attachment 2 CITY’S PREFERENCE SYSTEM (Adopted January 19, 2021) Preference System for City-Assisted Affordable Housing Projects Section 1. Council adopts this revised City preference system described herein to be used for determining eligibility among prospective beneficiaries for existing and future affordable housing projects assisted by the City.1 Section 2. Affordable units will be made available to qualified households based upon the preference categories listed below. The City may modify the preference categories from time to time by giving written notice to Lessor/Owner of such modifications, and Lessor/Owner shall adhere to such preference categories starting no later than ten (10) days following receipt of such notice. Each preference category is assigned a specific number of points as noted below. At the time of application, each applicant household will be assigned to one preference category and a corresponding point allocation in accordance to the criteria listed below. Households with the highest number of points will be given first priority for the affordable units. In the event there is more than one household with the same amount of points, which is likely, a lottery will be held at which time names of households with an equal number of preference points will be randomly drawn and assigned priority. Section 3. The criteria for preference categories and corresponding point allocations are as follows: 20 POINTS Households where at least one of the signators of the tenant lease or purchase agreement (and who is a member of the household) is a Pleasanton resident and a Pleasanton employee at the time of application and has continuously lived and worked in the City of Pleasanton for two years or more prior to the time of application. 18 POINTS Households where at least one of the signators of the tenant lease or purchase agreement (and who is a member of the household) is a Pleasanton resident and a Pleasanton employee at the time of application and has continuously lived and worked in the City of Pleasanton less than two years prior to the time of application. 16 POINTS Households where at least one of the signators of the tenant lease or purchase agreement (and who is a member of the household) is either a Pleasanton resident or a Pleasanton employee at the time of application and has continuously lived or worked in the City of Pleasanton for two years or more prior to the time of application. 1 A project assisted by the City may include, but is not limited to, a project which: (a) has inclusionary units subject to the requirements of the Pleasanton Municipal Code (PMC) Chapter 17.44; (b) receives grants or loans of affordable housing fees pursuant to PMC Chapter 17.40; (c) receive waivers or reductions of development impact fees; or (d) is subject to an affordable housing agreement or development agreement which provides for affordable units.
