ESTABLISHING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNIT AND FEE
REQUIREMENTS FOR ARTICLE 27 -1 OF THE ALAMEDA
MUNICIPAL CODE AND REPEALING RESOLUTIONS NO.
11899 AND 12075
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Alameda commissioned a report in November
of 1989 entitled "Affordable Housing Requirements and In -Lieu Fee Methodology Report" prepared
by Economic and Planning Systems Inc. (the "Report"), to provide the methodology for determining
the formula, the number of units, and the reasonable relationship between the housing requirements
and the types of development subject to the City's affordable housing requirements. The Report
examined the connection between non - residential development and the housing needs created by
that development with an emphasis on affordable housing. The Report concluded that a clear nexus
can be established between the amount of nonresidential development and the need for affordable
housing for low- and moderate- income employees; and
WHEREAS, the Report examined the relationship between the numbers of additional low
and moderate - income employees associated with non - residential development and the number of
® additional low and moderate - income households that are directly associated with such development
and will accordingly impact the Alameda housing market; and

WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed that Report and concluded that each additional
100,000 square feet of development contributes to the affordable housing demand by 9 units for
retail uses, 20 units for office uses, 4 units for warehouse uses, and 4 units for manufacturing uses.
Hotel/motel uses contribute to the affordable housing demands by 5 units per 100 rooms or suites;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the Report and calculated the housing subsidy
amounts based on the affordable housing needs for each of five land uses; and
WHEREAS, the housing subsidy amounts may be approximate; and
WHEREAS, the affordable housing unit requirement provides the formula for determining
the number of units to be provided, the cost and beneficiaries thereof, the relationship between this
requirement and the various types of new and expanded developments, and the time for provision
of said units; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the in -lieu fee rates established in
Resolution 11899, adopted December 5, 1989, should be adjusted by fifteen (15) percent to account
for the effects of inflation between 1990 and the present, and that such an adjustment does not
require the commission of a new nexus study; and
