AHO ALTERNATIVE
COMPLIANCE THROUGH CIL
1.For each affordable dwelling required by 38.380.020, but not provided, the
cash-in -lieu amount will be established based on a per dwelling price adopted
by resolution of the commission.
2.The per dwelling amount must be based on the difference between the
average new construction rental rate for apartments in the city and the
established affordable rental rate calculated over the course of 20 years.
3.The cash -in -lieu amount must be determined on the number, type of
dwellings, and mix of bedrooms identified as affordable in the affordable
housing plan and proposed to be constructed.
4.Cash -in -lieu payments must be paid prior to issuance of a building permit for
any dwelling in the development.
AFFORDABILITY GAP METHODOLOGY
This methodology is common in both
incentive and inclusionary programs
nationwide and is based on the theory
that the City should be able to use the
fee revenue to “subsidize” units—
effectively “buying down” the cost of
market-rate units to affordable
prices/rents.

Affordable units required: x 5
Cash in Lieu Payment: = $1,212,000

new construction rental rate and affordable rental rate) calculated over the
