Inclusionary Affordable Housing Program Compliance

All projects that include 10 or more residential units must participate in the Inclusionary Affordable Housing Program contained in Planning Code Sections 415, 419, and 428. Every project subject to these requirements shall pay the Affordable Housing Fee. A project may be eligible for an alternative to the Affordable Housing Fee. All projects must provide necessary documentation to the Planning Department and Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development that can demonstrate that they are eligible for an alternative to the Affordable Housing Fee.

A complete Affidavit for Compliance must be submitted with the Project Application (PRJ) for any project with 10 or more residential units, on-site affordable units in projects using the State Density Bonus (CA Govt. Section 65915), student housing, or 100% affordable housing. A Project Application (PRJ) will be determined to be incomplete if a complete Affidavit for Compliance is not included in the submittal.  Please note that for projects that require a Planning Commission approval, this affidavit must be included in Planning Commission packets and therefore, must comply with packet submittal guidelines.
