The proposed amendments are intended to: 1) Establish Chapter 19.535 (Inclusionary Housing) to implement General Plan policies to facilitate the production of housing affordable to very low-, low- and moderate-income households in new residential development projects; 2) Repeal and replace Chapter 19.545 (Density Bonus) to clarify and streamline existing provisions and align the City’s Density Bonus program with recently adopted State law; and 3) Complete clean-up items for Title 19 to: a) Clarify setback requirements and permit exemptions for on-sale of alcoholic beverages associated with bona fide full-service public eating places; b) Adjust allowances for the provision of off-site, off-street vehicle parking for certain land uses; and c) Revise the required findings of fact for the granting of Fair Housing Requests for Reasonable Accommodation to comply with State law and affirmatively further fair housing. The Community & Economic Development Department recommends that the City Planning Commission determine that this project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the project will have a significant effect on the environment.
